Pregnant at 17

how do I tell my mom and dad that im pregnant at 17??

Answer #1

I dont think there is really any good way to tell your parents this, it maybe hard at first but if they love you they will support you. hang in there.

god bless

Answer #2

Sit them down, and explain to them, and if you are too scared, sit someone else that you trust, like a best friend, or family member, and then tell them.. anyhow.. good luck. :]

hey I went through the same thing at 14 though I made a whole plan on how I was going to take care of my child and support it and I sat done with my mom and I told her it was the hardest thing I had to ever tell her cause I wasnt with the father at all I was raped and thats what I told her but she didnt beleive me and kicked me out and I lived by myself since then its the best thing that could of happeaned to me I love being a mom and im about to give birth to my 3rd & 4th son I love it its a hrad rode to take but make a plan and stick to it and stay in school and finish that is the most important thing you need to do I am graduating this year from high school and I will be have four kids by then its very hard to do everything I gave up my whole teenage life just so I could be a great mom to my kids and I would never do anything to take it back my childern are the most important things in my life next to my husband

yea I told her and I couldnt believve how calm she was.. omg.. it was unbelieveable..lol… but I feel way better now that she knows.. and she just wants me to be more healthier for the babys sake.. THanks guys…=]

Answer #6

I think that you should just tell them like straight forward. my best friend went through something like this when she was 15. her parents were really disappointed with her and they were up until her first ultra sound where they saw the baby. and they fell in love with it then and accepted it. hopefully that’ll be the case with you too. just whatever you do, please don’t even consider an abortion.

Answer #7

I’ve been through exactly the same as you. I was 17 and I hid it from my mum but then I realised the best things to do is tell her. she is extremely strict about things like this. I told her and yerh she went mental at first but then she calmed down and has now accepted that shes a grandmother. if you want to tlk just funmail me and I’ll help you as best I can.

Answer #10

I’ve been there && well, it’s not easy!! my sister && I have lived with our grandparents for almost my whole life && well – they had 4 kids before we came to live with them && then when katrina hit , 2 more grandkids to deal with – so you can imagine how hard it was for me to tell me that there was going to be ONCE again another grandchild (in their case a GREAT-grandchild).. living in the house. but after a few months, they were more understanding then I thought they would have been && they do help. So of course she’s going to be upset, but she’ll eventually forgive you – that’s what parents are there for! (= Good luck!

Answer #11

I don’t know guys my mother is very strict and she isnt very understanding… like.. im not stressing over it or any thing but when it comes to a big situation like this she would be very MAD and I wouldnt know how long it would take for her to accept it… she wouldnt support it either and I wouldnt want her to because it is my baby but I juss dont know whut to tell her and how to tell her…I cant just sit her down and tell her because she would get up and slap me or something!! omg lol I don’t know

Answer #12

hahaha thats very clever of your wife bastrdassinjun. Um… im not sure what to tell you to do. If she is that bad at accepting things then maybe you could write it in a letter and leave it when your going out one morning and then by the time you get home in the afternoon hopefully she has had time to process it in a calm and rational way. The hard thing is is that your going to have to do it. Your going to have to take the rap for it sometime so get it over and done with. It will suck for a while but they will get over it. I had the worst of all strict parents and grandparents and they were mad at first but then when I miscaried at 3 months they were so sad for me. you may be suprised by the reaction you get.

Answer #13

my friend was pregnat too and 2 months she had a miscarriage due to stress …I think you should tell your mom because she might be mad at first but at the end she loves you and she’ll support you its not worth hiding it because you can miscarriage if your stressing about it so I guess you should sit down with her and whatever happens happens everything happens for a reason

Answer #14

I went through the same thing. my parents are extremely strict. I was 17 and pregnant. I know you think she’ll flip… but just sit her down, and say mom, I know your going to be disappointed in me, I really need your support through this, and im sorry but im pregnant.

of course shes going to be mad at first (what loving mom wouldn’t?) she will get over it! trust me…

Answer #15

I was a father at 17 and I told my parents right before I ran off to school and my wife(girlfriend at the time) told her dad on april 1 (april fools) I thought it was very clever of her lol
