16 and Pregnant.

[Mrs_Renfro]

I haven't told my dad that I'm pregnant yet.
My mom has known from day one, but I currently live 3 hours away from her. We're in the middle of a custody battle with my dad. I'm terrified about telling him and I hope that I can avoid it until after the court date on Feb 20th.
I'm due May 31st. (I'm 19 weeks)
Should/could I do it? My mom is taking me to the doctor and getting me everything I need, so my baby isn't going without or anything.
And, me not telling my dad isn't just a normal "I'm scared to tell my dad" type thing. We have problems in our family and my dad isn't the most supportive person in the world.
Please give me some advice. My fiancee and I are so excited about our baby and I just want to do what's best for him/her.

When I was 16 I got pregnant I hid my pregnancy for 11 weeks I was terrified to tell my parents. I told my mom first and told her to wait to tell my dad because I knew he didn like the fact that so many baby's get pregnant. I ended up misscarring before I told my dad, so I thought I was in the clear but my mom ended up telling him. And to my surprise he was upset I didn't tell him sooner and he said he would of bin 100% supportive. Needless to say this brought us closer. Im 21 now due June 4. Still with my highschool sweetheart and we r so excited as well as grandma and grandpa

Ya i do....keep getting your checkups and try not too stress too much good luck

I've never been a tiny girl; I'm athletic and love sweat pants, so if I start wearing baggy clothes more often it won't be all the weird to them. I just worry about them finding out somehow. I've been being very careful about hiding it, but with the lengths that they've gone to before it wouldn't surprise me if they did find out somehow. I'm willing to own up to it, I just don't want to do anything to jeopardize my baby's health and well-being, you know?

If the court finds out youre preg on your moms watch it will look bad period. I see where youre coming from so yes hide it until after the case is done.

[Mrs_Renfro]

My biggest fear right now is how it will effect our court case. My dad and I have never had a good relationship,  so him avoiding me or saying hurtful things isn't what I'm worried about. I'm afraid that he'll fight even harder to keep me away from my mom and Tyler. (The baby's daddy.)

Like flower said it is what it is and you cant change it. He will find out one way or another. and even if he isnt happy about it right away im sure you have plenty of loved ones to support you. And he will warm up. A grand baby will always put a smile on a grandparents face. The news may or may not complicate your situation but either way your having a baby.

I'm 20 and i'm pregnant.. I felt the same way as you. i told my sister first so that she give me advise on how to tell my parents. At first I thought my mom was going to flip out or something. But she took it in a good way I feel like she just loves having grandsons. My dad is in mexico and I felt really sad when i told him because he was a lilttle dissaponted. It is wat it is girl. Maybe ur thinking the worst but once you tell them it wont be as you thought it was going to be. The sooner you tell him the better.. that way he doesnt have to find out from somebody else you know?
