There is unfortunately no easy way, especially since they do not like him. Have you decided what you are going to do (during the pregnancy, with the baby, with your boyfriend, after the birth)? It might help to give it some thought so that you can at least discuss the options with your parents.

Do not delay, it is important that you see a doctor soon.

Best of luck!

That is all the more reason to tell your parents now. You need their support.

This is as much her grand child as it is your baby. Do not expect things to be all happy at first. It is however time to mend your relationship with your parents. You need that to support you and get you through the pregnancy. Tell your mom that you are sorry your relationship deteriorated but you need her support. Ask her for her support. Very few parent will refuse if asked.

Keeping it a secret does not serve any purpose, except delaying the neccisary. Write her a note, send her an email, speak to her, do whatever you have to do, but get it done.

Saige, did you tell your parents yet? It is important that you start taking the neccisary vitamins now, so if you have not told them yet, do so now! Delaying is not going to change anything.
