How old are you??? Do they know that you are sexually active

well your going to have to tell them soon.. Bc your probably going to shown some signs very soon....
Just remember that your parents may be mad for a while... But they will and have to accept it... The best idea I can tell you on how to tell them... Invite your bf over.. Tell your parents that you two have something to say... And simply tell them.. Hey we made a mistake... And your pregnant... I know its going to kill ya.. And take you forever to do it... If you dont feel comfortable about telling them... You could alway write them a letter... It might be a lil easier on ya... Keep your head up... You definetly dont want to stress right now....

Smile!!

Telling your parents is really hard....I know!!! I had to tell my mom and dad. Not fun. However, the mature responsible thing to do is tell them. It's really important that you get to a Dr. To make sure everything is going okay. Good luck hun!!!

You need to tell your parents. I know it is scary but your parents will be there for you no matter what.

Tell them and be prepared for them to either cry or yell at you. Then talk about it rationally after the initial shock. Everything will be okay and eventually they will grow to love the baby.

I know how you feel. I found out I was pregnant right after I turned 18, by then I was already 5 mths & I know that was stupid b/c of prenatal care & all (thank god my son was born perfectly healthy) but I was scared and I guess in denial. My mom took it alot better, my dad not so good, but they got over it and they both are very close to my son now. He'll be six in a couple of months & he's probably closer to some of my family than I am. Tell them early, this way they have longer to get over the shock & they can enjoy the baby when he/she comes !

I'm sorry hun but I dont support keeping it from her at all. I got pregnant at 18 and when my parents found out they hated me pure hatred yelling and screaming and wanting an abortion the whole nine yards! But they accept it now and are excited... A baby changes everything especially if your young! You need to face your fears and tell them and get in to see a doc asap! Hiding it from your parents isnt fair to this new baby! And please get some prenatals!
