Well I'm 18, and recently found out that I
am pregnant, i would have to say about a
month? maybe even if that. I have been
having cramps right below my bellybutton i
was wondering what that could mean? and
also i was wondering, what would be the
best way to tell my parents about this?
Thanks.

The cramps are normal. Your uterus is
stretching. It may feel a little like
period cramps. If you have any bleeding,
you need to go to the doctor or emergency
room.
The best way to tell your parents is just
to tell them. Have a 'plan' ready though
because they will have many questions. Let
them know what you plan to do - keep the
baby, adoption, etc. Let them know how you
plan to finish school. Let them know about
your relationship with the father. It
would help to have these things written
down so you won't forget.
Expect that there will be a lot of shock
and it could possibly come out as anger.
They are your parents and they love you
even if you are pregnant. They won't stay
angry.
Good luck!!!

Well, what is your situation? Are you
keeping it? Ending the pregnancy? Giving
it up for adoption? Getting married?
What does the father think, and has he
told his parents? If he did, how did they
react?
Are you in college? Your over all
situation and future plans determine how
to tell your parents, in my opinion.
