Aa
Still nervous
Im 21 yrs old & will be 20 wks tomorrow with my lil man & I still haven't told my family, I'm so nervous & feel like they will be disappointed & unsupportive esp my parents ...any suggestions? How did u guys tell ur family?
:) yes cuz I'm definitely showing sum I'm tired of wearing big shirts around them lol
Well honestly, I just told my brother and my sister in law last Saturday. It was terrifying. It wasn't so bad but I knew it wouldn't be, they're so supportive and they just told me the usual babies change a lot of things, etcetc. My dad on the other hand, it went better than I expected, and the only reason that is is because my sister is pregnant as well, and she hasn't told dad and didn't plan on it(there's issues between my sisters and my father for some unknown reason. even since my mom died, they blame him for everything) so I kinda got the better end of the stick because I actually told him, and in person. I feel so much better letting everyone know. I think you will to! Just be straight up with them about it.
they dont have a chose love:) there gona have a new little boy to love!! itll be ok:)
Thx ladies for the encouragment..holding it in is stressful I just wan everyone to be happy bout him coming but that's their problem if not
Im 18 and I found out I got pregnant a few weeks after 17. I just moved out of my parents house with my boyfriend and didnt even last a month after graduating lol. I told my parents right away and they suggested abortion. I told them No!! But they have come to accept the fact they are having a grandchild. All your parents can do is accept it. And if they do not then that is thier problem. Its freaking scary tho lol. But youll feel so much better after u tell them
I was 18 with my first. My dad said "I'm not surprised." Haha! I was terrified to tell him! I expected my mom to freak- she was 17 when she had my brother- and she did, but not the way I expected. She said "Your (butt) is going to get so HUGE!" It really is a relief once you tell them. I am getting my ultrasound tomorrow, and that's when I'm going to tell my folks about this one. Good luck!
I was scared to tell my mom but she was happy and has been happy since the beginning now all she talks about is baby sitting him
k im 24 and have a fulltime job which pays great etc...i lived in my own apartment bla blah blah all that but partied ALOT was the social butterfly have tons of friends etc...i dated my bf for 4 months then we broke up and i found out i was pregnant....i missed my period by like 3 days and knew...i took a test came positive and i called my mom the same day balling my eyes out...next month i was moved back home and under my parents care...if tyour honest hun and just get it over with they will eventually support u im 24 not 18 and my dad was still mad but he got over it...that was 6 months ago...im 24 weeks and hes excited to have a grandson u got a bf and everything ull be fine u can do it if i can u can!!
That's wat I'm afraid of & to make it worse I'm on my dad's insurance...for my mom this would be her 3rd grandchild my father this is his 1st bcuz I'm his only child
my daughters dad actually told my mom haha.... i was kinna scared to tell her only because me nd bby daddy had been fightin fur a lil bit nd she knew nd kept tellin me move on nd everything nd one night she got his number off the house phone caller id (my phone was broke at the time) nd she tried callin him but he didnt answer so she started textin nd he texted her back tellin her nd she called me in the room nd was laughin nd was like hes sayin yur pregnant nd i was like well umm.... nd shes like are yu serious victoria? nd i was like yea... nd then she started askin questions nd already talkin bout bby stuff nd told my aunt the next day nd the word got around in the fsmily pretty fast haha... everyone was kinna upset that i didnt tell them sooner specially cuz wat was goin on wit baby in the beginning but everyones extremely excited now :)
I told my parents on fathers day. I can not say they have been supportive. Mybparents and my husband do not get along. They feel that cause my husband wants nothing to do with rhem they can not have a relationship with me and my child. We have not spoke for almost 3 weeks. My mum has said she does not want to be at my baby shower and has not shown any enthusiasm or bought anyrhing for my baby. Its heartbreakinf as i am an only child and this is there first grandchild. Luckily mybhusbands damily is really excited and spoiling my little one already. Hes gotten so much clothes and roys from them already its really nice.
Lol I'm hoping for that response but knowing my parents I'm getting yelled at but at least I can leave wen I want so I won't have hear it
get it over with dear! they love you and will get over it! I was afraid to tell my mom with this pregnancy even tho she is my best friend. the first person I told was my 2 year old daughter (other than hubby) in hopes that she would accidentally tell my mom so I didn't have to lol so one day I texted her and said "mom I want you to know before I say this that I am very happy and don't want any negative feedback, IM PREGNANT", I am 20 but I was 19 when I told her and I had my first child at 16 so I was afraid she would be disappointed, but she texted me back and said "YAY!! I want a boy, no a girl, no BOTH!" I was in shock at how well she took it and she has been thrilled from day 1. good luck and I hope your parents take it just as well :)
At least yu have yur place and yu work so wouldnt be so nervous bc yur not living with them so yu could just tell them they will get over it ..
I wish my parents would react like yours they are so mean & don't really care for my bf so that's another thing smh I think I'm goin just out & say it they will have more time get over it.. crazy thing is my sis who is older has 2 kids & my mom didn't down talk her she dropped out in 11th grade with my 1st nephew than finally got her own place but I get all the rudeness & i work full time, have place with my bf, & a college student
Im 17yrs old nd had my bby almost 2 mnths ago i really just asked my mom to buy me a pregnancy test and she did she was so happy wen it came out positive since is her first grandbby and i had a misscarage before im turnin 18 in a couple of days .. my advice just tell it how ever comes out via txt,cell or in person if the bby is there first grandbaby they are goin to get over it fast (: ... good luck'
I told my mom first she was happy she could hit a back flip. Then i told my dad when i was 20 weeks he was disappointed then he got over it when i told him i dont nerd anything but support. He was just worried thats all. But i have not told him the sex yet. So he will be excited because in my house more girls than boys now its like that with his grandkids finally.
My mom hates my husband and i was gonna tell her a few weeks sooner with this one but she did the same thing (u guys def dont need more kids, ur husband needs too grow up first) so id get mad & not say anything. Then i couldnt take it anymore.
Buy them a congrats card and put an u/s pic in it. Or buy a lil gift bag with a bottle, binki, & socks or something...
I tell my parents everything so it was easy for me with my second. But with my first, i waited forever it seemed. they were mad for a few days that i didnt tell them sooner but i had lost my twins at 21weeks not even a yr before so idk if i did not wanna get exvited or if i didnt wanna get them excited.
