The best thing to do is to just tell them. Yes they are going to be mad but things will be alot worse if you wait on it.

I know I need to tell them n waitng is bad. When will I start showing the slightest bit? My stomach n breasts are swollen a bit even though I'm not far along at all but on both side of the family the babys tend to be very big.
I wouldnt doubt it if I turn out to be ALL belly!

Well, you could hide it...some girls can pull it off. But it's going to be a lot harder to tell them when you're in labor then if you tell them when you're a little ways along so they can have time to adjust. I think the question is whether or not you want to keep the thing, though - being pregnant is one thing, but wanting to keep the aftermath is another (that's the part parents are concerned about).

I meen obviously I will tell them eventually...my mom got pregger at 17 had my brother at 18 so her of all people will understand except she was merried...my moms mom also got preger at 16 so maybe they wont be to mad...its my dad Im scared of telling n chas's parents.

Honestly, the longer you wait the harder it will be. If you just do it and let them adjust you can enjoy your pregnancy much more instead of having to worry about them findingout and what they will do about it. Just because your mom had the same thing occur as well as your grandma does not mean they will be more understanding. They could be even more upset since you didn't learn from there experience.

Just sit your family down, and tell them. As hard as it is, as much as you'll stutter they need to know. Your family love you and sure they might be mad at first but not because they don't want the baby, but because they are worried how you'll cope and how you feel deep down.

I sat with my mum and told her first and we rang the family members together and she told my dad for me, they were great when I thought they'd flip but honesty is always the best policy. My mum bought me an extra two tests and we sat by the fire just after christmas and when my dad came home from work, first thing he said was "where we gunna get you some expandables" lol.

Your parents could react anyway, you won't know if you don't tell them.

well which one of your parents would be less mad? your mom or dad? telling the less upset parent may help first
then they could help you tell your other parent

no one can really say when youll start to show because every one is different
im all belly and you can tell now that im preg but i started really showing around 16-17 weeks

hi im rose and i was 16 when i fell pregnant. i actually posted on here aswell, asking how to tell my parents. the truth is the longer you wait the harder it's going to be. bobby told his parents first, on boxing day. his mum was gd with it as she had been in the same shoes as me, she got pregnant with bobby at 16. and i told my mum over the phone. you'll be surprised by their reactions. they'll be shocked at first but will get used to it. the one thing id advise you is to say 'im having a baby' rather that 'im pregnant' so they know you're not guna get rid of the baby. good luck and let us know how it goes. i bet you it wont be as bad as you think x
