How do I tell my parents I am pregnant?

I am planning on getting pregnant. I am 18 and feel if I beleive my boyfriend and I are ready for this commitment I want to go through with it! My Aunt is my legal gaurdian and she told me if I ever got pregnant she would kick me out of her house… I plan on moving next summer but till then I need some where to stay while I am going to school. If she kicks me out when I tell her I am pregnant what am I going to do. This is what I want and am going to do but I can’t hide it for 10 months obviously! PLEASE HELP!

Answer #1

:)) You are 18 and stupid, I hope that helps. No, generally, that is NOT a good idea. Just fuc*ing wait, you are 18! You know, young, unemployed? What are you trying to prove?! Think about school! About your future! Damn, speak to an adult close to you. Bad idea, girl, I’m telling you! Don’t do it. Not now. Reconsider. You have all the time, so why hurry?

Answer #2

I agree, Go for it!! I’m also 18 and planning for a family right now. Awh the excitment!! Just hide it from her until you move out. It might not be that hard, depending on your body. Good luck!!

Answer #3

I’m 16 and pregnant…so forget all those people that are trying to say crap to you girly. It’ll be a hell of a hard tme, but if you want it, and your determind. DO IT. But MAKE SURE..you can do this. you need money and love. So just remember that.

Answer #4

you should try moving in wwith your boyfriend if you really want to have a baby and your aunt us going to kick you out if you do get pregnant now. the best advice i can give to you is to do what your heart tells you to do or wait until you move out and then you can make your own decisins and not have second thoughts about them!! hpe everything goes well!!

Answer #5

it will be very hard!!!! just come out and tell them they will be shocked and mad at the same time i am only 16 & have to tell my mom & dad!!! so i no what ur going thro it sucks..but if this is what u want then write them or tell them over a phone! that would be the most easyest to do! and i have been reading ur other anwers most of them make it sound like its this BIG BAD think but its not yes it will change u life in a big way!!! u asked for advise not to be bitched at so i hope that every thing goes great for u! good luck!! ~ashley~

Answer #6

You should be 100% sure you want to do this at your age. Having a baby is not easy, it is a lot of hard work. Without the support of your family, it would be even harder. Raising a child is more than a full time job, it is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Would you still want this child if your boyfriend leaves you? If you are not even done school, why do you want to get yourself pregnant????

Answer #7

hiding your pregnancy will not do you any good, in 9 months your going to have a baby then what are you going to do hide the child till its 18? if youre planning on having a child(which is not the best idea) then you need to be a mature young lady sit your parents down and talk to them like an adult. if your ready to mazke the decision to become pregnant then you gotta deal with the circumstances that come along with it. I have never been pregnant myself, but I have raised a 2 year old girl and a 3 year old boy and I am only 20 YEARS OLD!! they are my brother and sister and let me tell you its a lot of work, getting up every 2 to 3 hours to feed them, doctors appts. late night emergancy hospital visits its really really hard!!!so just think twice or maybe even 3 times before you get pregnant it takes a lot of time, dedication, love , money,and hard work its not easy hun.

Answer #8

Listen, I’m very young, to you I am a little kid, but I don’t care, you should have more class for a 18 year old!!! You should finish college first, listen, your aunt is on the verge of kicking you out why would you do something stupid like this??? It’s a horrible commitment, and If I were you I’d wait till I’m thirty

Answer #9

why are you determined to get pregnant now, unmarried and 18? Are you not satisfied with your life? You should seriously consider the core reasons you feel that its appropriate for you to intentionally become a parent at 18 years old.

I’m sure you have a job, but can you support a child? Who will take care of the baby while your working? How will you pay for that? Do you want to be a mother or just “have” a baby (like “having” an iPod or a nice car)? If you want to be a mother, you should plan on raising the child, not just having it and handing him/her off to someone else all day long.

Can your non-committed boyfriend support you to stay at home with all the expenses that go along with that? I’m not saying wait until you’re thirty, but I am saying think about what your doing. Babies are not objects to be owned to improve your life. You are embarking on a 20+ year committment to sacrifice everything to raise a human being. If you have gotten pregnant, that’s another story, but to plan on it is a bad idea.

Answer #10

I am not unemployed, I have a great job. I can afford a place to live but if i am moving in june whats the point of having to rent a house? Honestly…you ppl are just being a$$holes! Sorry but thats how i feel….i just needed advice on HOW TO TELL MY PARENTS…not how to get a damn job….

Answer #11

Why are you in such a hurry, to get pregnant, at the age of 18? Are you and your boyfriend commited enough to get married, move out on your own, and pay all the bills? If your aunt does kick you out, and you don’t have a place to go now, how are you going to be able to properly care for a child? You are still too young, and have plenty of time to become pregnant. What you need to concentrate on now, is securing your relationship with your boyfriend, moving out on your own, supporting yourself and paying your bills first. If you can handle that, and your boyfriend and you are still together, then start concentrating on having a baby! You are going to want to give the best to your baby, without having to deprive him/her of anything. Get yourself secured and settled first, and after that, you can have as many babies, as you can afford to take care of. You will be happy and thankful you did wait, in the long run!

Answer #12

Ok I know you can sell icecream or hamburgers. Just kidding, girl. My appologies and forget about the job thing. I know you can work. Your parents will take it bad, trust me. But you already know it. Why? Because they will think it is not good 4 you. And it isn’t. If you really want to screw up your life now, who am I to stop you? I suppose you earn a lot, have a stable relationship with your great boyfriend and decided that after many years it was high time to make a baby to support you later when you will be old. It’s odd how girls nowadays decide to smoke at 10, have sex at 13, give birth at 18 and die at 25?? Nice going, this looks good! Well, if you really want it so much, despite everything, then do it! Let me guess, you are a very responsible person already. And the young father also. Then why do you ask for advice? Good luck with your big plans! Why tell your parents? Aren’t you grown up already? Why the hell did they make laws? I REALLY hope you know what you’re doing, because I have seen some cases going sooo bad! But who knows, you might even be happy. If you have no hesitation at all, tell them straight. They will kick your little ass, but you have to be prepared for the consequences, right? All the best!

Answer #13

ALL OF YOU PEOPLE OUT HERE ADVISING HER TO HAVE A BABY AND MOVE OUT OF HER AUNT HOUSE YOU ARE STUPID LIKE balamuk SAID. SHE IS YOUNG AND YOUNG MINDED. IF YOU READ HER STATEMENT YOU SAID “I am 18 and feel if I beleive my boyfriend and I are ready for this commitment I want to go through with it!”. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS ASK ALL THE PEOPLE WHO COMMENT ON YOUR QUESTION THAT UNDER AGE AND HAVE A BABY IF THERE BABY FATHER IS WITH THEM TAKING CARE OF THEIR BABY, IS IT A EASY JOB, DO THEY HAVE ANY FREE TIME. ASK THEM IF THEY ARE STILL WITH THEIR BABY FATHER I BET THEY ARE WITH ANOTHER GIRL PROBABLY THEIR BEST FRIEND WHICH IS THE GODMOTHER. YOU HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO HAVE A KID BUT YOU ARE STILL GROWN SO LETS GROW

Answer #14

Answer #15

Answer #16
