Going through the same thing. I was talking to a friend about it earlier, but I'm still not ready or comfortable doing it. I guess they'll never be a time when I will be. He told me what everyone is saying here... sooner than later is best.

Im currently expecting my second child im 22 now and married. So this one was exciting to tell the world about.....my first on the other hand i was 16 my jr year in high school and scared to death of what my family would say, but i did it and they love my daughter to death. My advice would be not to wait better to get it out of the way if anyone has anything to say or a negative opinion theyll have more time to deal with the mixed emotions if any and get excited :)

My side of the family is pretty religious too..especially my grandparents. My grandpa was upset inside, but didn't tell me. Eventually he just said that "God doesn't make junk & this baby deserves all the love in the world." Everyone comes around eventually (: good luck!

I'm having the same issue with my dads family. I've nearly been disowned twice already because they don't agree with how I live my life (I love science and I'm into girls) so I'm not sure how they'll take this
