It sounds like you have some pretty bad edema. That's odd for someone only 6 weeks along. You sound like you're retaining a lot of water, and probably wanna get that checked out!

Id go to the dr's now. You should go to the drs as soon as you find out anyways, and tell your parents when your ready. Id been to the drs to have my pregnancy confirmed and even went to my first prenatal appointment b4 I ended up telling my parents.

You should tell your doctor right away. Fluid retention in pregnancy can result in a condition called preclampsia(not sure if spelled right) if left untreated it can result in serious complications for you and your baby.
