How can I tell my parents I want to be an ob/gyn?

I’m enrolled in college already well on my way to a medical career. But I want to change my major from nursing science to gynecology.

I want to specialise in adolescent gynecology, pregnancy and breast health.

But I don’t know how to tell them “hi mom, I wanna be a  gynecologist.” it would be really awkward. Any tips?

Answer #1

act normal and say mom I need to talk to you please support me in my dision I want to be a gynecologist. and see what she says but watever you wanna be its ok so dont worry and im glad your out there to help women thanks. good luck

Answer #2

Given that you dont actually specialize till you’re 4th or 5th year in medical school, and you havent even started yet, I wouldnt worry about it. You’ve got about 7 or 8 years and by then you’ll be an adult, and things like this wont be all that embarrassing.
