Well, your going to have to do it no matter what. Although you and your mom are not so close babys do tend to bring people closer...
Don't expect anyone to be happy at first... If they are, thats wonderful. But telling parents that you are going to have a baby, is pretty shocking news, and your going to have to give them time to think about it. Since you are obviously going to keep the baby, don't be upset if they suggest abortion. Or even suggest paying for it. (we were ttc, and when we got pg we were offered this from both sides of the family, and we are 20 and 23) just give them time to think about it. And, also, don't get flustered if asked, and what do you plan to do?? Make sure you have a plan... Also, try thinking about finding a place, or whatever without needing the help of roommates... First off, how many people want to stay somewhere with a screaming baby?? Second, you don't want people around all the time, ie parties and stuff... Make sure you have at least alittle of this figured out before you even approach your parents... But, tell them before they find out on their own.

Well the roomates that we wanted to get were one of his friends and his girlfriend thats pregnant too, so it would be like 2 crying babies all the time. I dont know, we have talked a lot about it but im not sure if I got all the details that I need. I did want to try to make it with just me and him but him and a lot of my friends keep telling me to get as much help as I can.

Does he have a job? Do you?? Are you going to school still? Do you plan to go to school still?? Just asking...

Right now hes trying to get another job, he got laidoff from the last one. I kinda have a job, I get paid under-the-table right now. Im still going to school but since im pregnant, I decided to graduate in december (this year) instead of may so that I can be home when I give birth and I dont have to miss any school. My parents know that im graduating in december and they dont mind. I still want to go to college afterwards, like in the fall. My bf says I should still try to go but one of my best friends says im crazy to think about school at that time. I didnt want the baby to get in the way of everything I wanted to do and I hope it doesnt.

Where are you from valley girl?

If you think your father will be supportive, then tell him first, talk to him, and ask him for advice on how to tell your mom. The only best advice is from your parents, esp if you already know he's gonna be supportive

I think the sooner you tell them the better! Even though its going to be hard, they need to know. Sure, they will probably be upset because you are their baby and they hate to see things happen to you, but hopefully they will be supportive and help you out. Just let them know that you are scared and need their support. As for how to tell them, i'm not sure because I havent ever had to do it! Maybe some of the other girls can help ya out....

How did you guys tell your parents?

I want to talk to my dad but lately hes been too busy. I want to tell them soon so that I know if I will be getting their help or not. Nippz, how did you tell your parents? I dont know how or when im gonna break it to them yet.

.

For me I didnt have the guts, so I went to my cousin for advice and actually offered to tell them for me, which I think is a big mistake. It's better off if you tell them yourself and soon! Have you gone to a doctor yet to have an ultrasound and some vitamins? If not, go to one soon! But anyway, if your dad's busy, if you ever get the chance to even see him, just sit him down and tell him you really need to tell him something important, cause if you wait, they're gonna eventually find out from your tummy getting bigger, and if they find out instead of you telling them, they'll be even more angry. Just try to relax your mind and talk to them when they're in a really good mood.
