Telling people....young mums esp.

Just wondering when you guys told people you were expecting?  

Was any of you nervous to tell your parents?
How did it go?

I told my mom the same day I found out because my doc said I had the symptoms. I found out over the phone cause they called and they scheduled an ultrasound two days later. We found out I was 10wks along. My mom took me because we were scared he was in my tubes like my first sadly, my first ended in a miscarriage. She was so happy to hear that this one was actually safe :) I'm still nervous and I'm 21 and I'm 32wks lol

well to start off, my parents LOVE my boyfriend so that made everything a little easier especially since I was only 16, just turned 17 in April. but I found out when I was five weeks, later that day I told my mom. she was shocked but happy and very supportive. I was so scared to tell my dad though :/ but of course my mom told him before I did so he already knew. so when I finally told him he was like whatever about it. my boyfriend came over that night and we all talked and my parents just basically told us that they would support us through it all. and for my boyfriend not to worry so much about money because I'm still under their insurance so I'm covered as far as medical bills. it's the first grandchild on both my side and my boyfriends side so my baby girl is definitely going to be spoiled! lol I'm barely 22 weeks and my baby already has more clothes and stuff than I do!

@ash060115 no it was a surprise pregnancy, but I had thought I was pregnant before and I wasn't, so when I took the test I was in complete shock. But I had been trying before,  but decided my body wasn't ready so I didn't think of being pregnant. I'm happy but scared a little because this is my first pregnancy :)
