Hi, I'm 19, first pregnancy which wasn't planned. And I have no idea how to tell my parents! Does anyone have any advice!?
I know this isn't exactly a medical question, but its causing me alot of stress and restless nights (not good for the baby!!)
Thanks x

Wait for a day when they're in a good mood. Also, who are you closer to? If telling both is too overwhelming start with the parent you feel more open with. Also, if you're scared to tell them yourself, have someone present like an older brother/sister/cousin? Hope that helps >_< Good Luck!

Hi Sweetie! Me Fairy*Godmother
Man up.....ok Sweetie, no sugar coating here...........you are old enough to have sex, unprotected.....and wound up accidently pregnant. You are old enough to sit down with both parents and have an adult conversation. Will the father of this baby sit down with you to talk to them? Yes, stress is a factor that you do not NEED! This little baby does not need it either! not sureof hte situation, parents could be those who fly off the handle irrationally, you may not even be around this babys father anymore. Either way, you are going ot have to face the fire eventually. So this is what I'd tell my own daughter....Put on your big girl panties and deal with it. You are planning on keeping the baby? More details would be helpful!

You must tell your parents about your pregnancy, because parents are always in favor of their child and you apologize to them, I hope they will accept and will give you a solution. They will guide you in a proper way and most of the hurdles, which are into your way, will be solved very easily.

The best way is to just sit down with them. They will surprise you.

I was 21 when I got pregnant and my bf was 20. Unfortuantly both my mom and his found out the wrong way. His mom saw us in the hospital and my mom got a call saying test were in from the doctor ( i ended up losing the baby). I wish i could have told them proberly. Mine were amazing with me and him they offered to help with everything and gave us so much advice.

Your parents love you. BOTH of you sit down with them, show them you are both adults and talk to them. tell them what you have planned and what you are going to do. make sure you sorta have an idea of what you are going to say to them. If they see you are being adults, they should take it a lot better. Good luck with everything and if you need to talk to anyone i am here.
