I was 19 too I just built up the courage and said hey mom I'm pregnant at first I could tell she was disappointed but by the very next day she seemed pretty excited.

I'm 19 and I'm 37 weeks now, but I told my mom about a week after I found out I was pregnant! It's always going to be scary but the best thing to do is tell them soon! Of course they'll be disappointed but trust me that they'll get over it when they start to see your belly grow and the ultrasounds! My mom couldn't be any happier now that she's having a grandson! Plus you're going to need their support! Goodluck!

I am 20 years old, and I told my mother the day after finding out I was 5 weeks pregnant. She was disappointed,  but didn't get angry. Now I'm 21 weeks along and she is excited for the birth of my baby. Now, in contrast I was more afraid for my boyfriends parents to know,  so I asked him to let my first trimester pass before telling them.  I was about 16 weeks when he told them, and they were disappointed we didn't tell them sooner. In fact, they are still angry at me for asking him to wait until my first trimester was over. So, from this experience it is evident that you are much better telling your parents sooner rather than later. Just remember,  you can't hide it for ever, so what's the use in hiding it at all?

I am 20 and don't live with my parents. I told my mom 2 weeks after I found out she was disappointed now I am 8 months and she still is not exicited

I was 17 when i found out i was pregnant. But didnt tell my parents until i was 18 4 months later. (Bad choice) i waited so long just because of how scared i was. I kept letting it go day by day. Until finally one day i just called my mom in one day before bed and just told her "mom im pregnant" she was disappointed, but she just asked why i waited so long. So dont wait any longer just get it over with. Two days later i told my dad. And he was disappointed too. I wish i wouldve had my boyfriend come along, but too late now. If you are with your bd take him along and tell your parents together. Expect the worst, and hope for the best.

Are you with your baby's dad still? You two should tell them together. I'm only 18 and pregnant.. My whole family was excited.

[MommyOfMandA]

I had to tell my family when I was 18, and it wasn't any easier at 20 or 22 lol. Even though the father and I are now married and living in the house we bought, I still feel like they're going to be disappointed again, which usually isn't the case, except for my father who hasn't talked to me since he found out I was pregnant at 18 and my sister has been mad at me for a few months for this pregnancy for some reason so she hasn't talked to me either. But the rest of the family is so supportive. I suggest you find someone you trust who will take it the best and have them help you tell the ones that you think will be more upset. It's a lot easier when there is someone already on your side.

Disappointment will turn into excitement but if you tell them too late disappointment can turn into anger.. My mom thought 13 weeks was to late for me to tell her but she's so exciting now she even thinks it's her baby lol

I was 18 when I found out I was pregnant, and being my dad's 'little girl' I was very scared, at first he was a bit upset as he thinks I should have been more careful but now we have never been closer than what we are and things are perfect :) good luck x

[Frosttyn]

Just tell them. Its scary no matter how old you are but it's better if they know sooner rather than later as they can help you with any decision you decide to make.

I was right there I found out 5 days after I turned 19 they know I'm not in a relationship and o actually wrote my mom a letter with the first ultrasound pic enclosed she was upset but she is okay with now I'd actually say she's excited :) I'm 16 weeks now

I'm 16 & telling my dad was the hardest thing I've had to do. I was so scared that time passed by and I was already 7 months along when I told him. Trust me, it's not as bad as you think. You'll be happy that you did, good luck :)

[Courtneyleia]

I'm 20 and 7 weeks along now and TERRIFIED to tell my parents. Totally need advice on this subject too...

[Soontobemummmmy]

I'm 16 and pregnant telling my parents was the scariest thing I've ever done

[chelsey_thomas]

I'm 18 and pregnant. Telling my parents was the scariest. My mom freaked out, and gave me a long lecture. But now she's so excited and talking about knowing the gender so she can buy stuff. And dads are pretty easy to tell if y'all are close.

I am the same age and i wish i hadnt waited as long as i did to tell my mom. Cause she actually called me out on it the day I was gonna tell her, my mom was dissapointed but now all she ever talks about is how the baby is gonna call her Gigi(cause shes too young to be called grandma) and how excited she is!

[happybaby2015]

Sit them down & tell them. They will be disappointed but babies have a tendency of bringing families together so they will come around. But it will only get harder if you wait.
