First of all I’m very sorry to hear that about your mom…I am the same age as you and I thought I was pregnant there for a while too but I did my test today and I got the all clear…before doing the test I had told my boyfriend what was happening and how I was feeling he was very understanding and supportfull…but thankfully I don’t have to deal with anything big yet, I was s relievd after doing that test because it came out negative. I know it seems very difficult at the moment and I’m sure it is, but you need to be honest with your family they are your family and all they can do is support you, it will be a shock to them in the beginning but with time to come they will understand you just need to make sure you tell the people closest to you because you need all the support you can get.

Answer #2

well,I think you should tell them in private.just sit them down and let them know how you feel,and your plans of being a mother.I wish you the best and I pray you have a healthy baby,and hope your mom gets better.just have faith and keep god in your life and you will go far.

Answer #3

Don’t worry. Their your parents. Yeah they’ll be disappointed but they won’t hate you. Just be honest, you can tell them anything

Answer #4

I am so sorry to hear about your mother. Well, they are your parents, you should be able to tell them anything. They may be a little upset, but they will want to help you as well. It seems like a difficult time, and they probably will know once you tell them, what the best way to take care of it is. It shouldn’t be a surprise to you if they may start crying. It also depends on how far you are into your pregnancy. if you are over a tri-mester, then it is really time to tell them. I don’t know much except for school and TV. I am only 13, and so, there you go. Wish you luck!
