19 and 25, on our own?

[Alexiafaye]

Hi, I'm 19 and my boyfriend is 25. We've been together for almost four years and living together in our own for about two. My mom is always saying I better not be pregnant. But last month she said she doesn't want to scare me away if I ever do and asked me to tell her before I start to show. Well, my question is how do I tell my mom and my step dad (been my dad all my life) that I'm pregnant? I feel like I'm just disappointing them again. Thanks : )

I would just tell them. Your living on your own and supporting yourselves so yes they might be disappointed at first but they will support you. Best of luck to you!

Expecting lol whoops : ) thank you so much

[Alexiafaye]

Thank you all so much! You're all so sweet and encouraging : ). Also for the person who was wondering I was 16 when we met and became friends. Not having sex. (Age of consent here is 16 anyways) but thank you so much we are very happy together and congrats to anyone else who is ex

I was 19 when I found out I was pregnant the first time, I moved out at 18, peace! At the time my grandpa was in hospice passing away :( I called her to tell her, her response was "I don't have time for this" and she didn't call me or anything for a month, pretty shi++y and my grandpa never knew he was going to be a greatgrandpa. But my mom ended up being happy about it later

I gave my parents a grandparent card with a pic of the first ultrasound in it. they weren't the happiest but i didn't care. you don't live with them anyway so if they get mad you can just go back home to your house. its always easy when you have your own home to go to. You mom might be upset for a day but she'll get over it. and then she'll be excited because it's going to be her grandchild.
congrats on your pregnancy! don't except nothing but happiness. if they aren't happy for you then blow it off as long as you and your bf are happy then that's all that matters. A baby is a happy time!

I know how you feel I was so scared to tell my dad. His reaction was a lot different than I expected, he actually said he was waiting for me to tell him I was knocked up when I still lived with him(so much faith in me lol) and then he tried the whole marriage card. But he is excited in his own way. Two of his daughters are pregnant at the same time, one(my sister) has nothing to do with him and he found out through someone else. I think he's just glad one of his daughters is still in his life and actually told him face to face

Hunny I was 15 and my boyfriend was 18 when I got pregnant with my first and I was scared to tell my grandparents bc I new how disappointed they would be. They raised me and are like my mom and dad so I know how u feel but I told them 3 days after I found out I was pregnant and yes they were upset but they got over it within weeks and love there grandbaby with all there hearts. My daughter is now 3 and I'm 18 and pregnant with our 2nd baby (baby boy) and they were fine with me having another and me and my boy friend are still together and happy my advise to you is tell them and do it soon because they are going to find out regardless and it will be better coming from you and your boyfriend early in your pregnany than finding out later on down the road

Your bf was 21 dating a 15 year old?? Just tell them, don't be scared. She already confided in you saying she wouldn't want you to hide it from her. You've already moved out
