How did you guys tell your parents you were pregnant?
I'm positive I am but I don't know how to tell my mom

I wrote my mom a letter and left it on her bed for her to find one night when she was out and then I "went to bed" and waited.

Lol kimmeh - I kinda did the same thing to steve.

He was going out (shopping I think) and I gave him a letter and told him not to read it until he was somewhere quiet and relaxed.
He came home 9 hours later!

As for my parents I just told them outright - but then I was 24 and in a long term relationship so you know.........

When I got raped at 18 though I didn't tell my dad, because we were having a rough patch then so I just told my mom, but because we haven't lived together since I was like 2years old - she's more like a big sister anyway.

I didn't tell anyone about my ectopic - didn't see the need for anyone to know.

Awww kimmeh.. !!! I was dissplaced from my mom during the time I got pregnant cause I stayed in new orleans with my boyfriend and she left for hurricane katrina. Well once the cell phones and stuff started working again I called her told her not to be mad at me and then broke the news. To my suprise she wasn't upset. Just asked if I was ok and we talked about all my options and of corse I already knew I was going to keep my baby cause we had planned him. Just my mom didn't know that. Lol

it is a pregnancy that occurs outside the uterus - usually in the fallopian tube. In my case the pregnancy implated on to scar tissue on the outside of my uterus and failed to form properly.

I told my dad in person - no letters, no phone, etc. I told my mom about 3 weeks later, but, she was the one to understand. She had, had my sister young. :)
