The best thing to do is make it short and sweet...

"i'm sorry grandma but i'm pregnant" will do fine...And she will probably cry but then she will want to ask questions...

Just don't beat around the bush, tell her straight up.

Good luck! I hope everything turns out great for you! And congrats on the pregnancy!

Well first of all, congrats on the baby! You will make a wonderful mother. Second, how to tell your grandmother....Well, there is no easy way around it. It is hard telling somone who has high expectations of you that you are pregnant. I know, I had to deal with it w/ my parents. And my grandma was upset w/ me for a while. It is hard to explain to old ladies how things are now a days. I would not say, "sorry grandmother, but im pregnant" because are you really sorry? I am pregnant too, and this is not when I wanted it to happen, but I am not sorry for my child. I dont think you are either! Like I said, there is no easy way around it. Say it bluntly, "grandmother, im pregnant" see what she says, and by her reaction you will know how to handle it from there. Anyway, that is just my opinion! You know your grandmother more than anyone else! I wish you good luck and let us know how it goes! Keep talking to us for support, this is a great place to come to in times like these! Take care!

Thanks for the support ladies. I'll take y'alls advice and just tell her in a respectful manner, "i need to tell you something. I'm pregnant." do you think my boyfriend should be there when I tell her? He wants to make sure everthing is going to go okay, and he's worried that she won't except the good news. He wants this baby to be excepted by my family as well as his. His mom is even worried about me telling my grandmother. Let's just say she's a "tough cookie"!

Still worried

If you think it would make you feel better to have him there, then by all means I suggest you do it! If not...And if you think that it might bother your grandmother for him to be there, maybe you should do it by yourself. Either way, good luck and let us know how it goes!

Definatly will keep y'all updated on the "tough cookie" situation!

Lol...Good. I know this will work out for you.

Just be honest no waiting be straightforward

The sooner u tell, the better. We're here for u dont worry. Just tell your grandmother, and sometimes they will get upset at first, but she'll understand ur scared and ur sorry.
I hope it all works out!

By the way, u have my due date hehe! Well.. My due dates past but that was my baby girl's first due date hehe!

Thank you so much ladies! My grandmother didn't flip out at all...She just wanted to know when the wedding date was! I'm so glad that you ladies were here to give me that advice. I dont' think I could have done it without you guys! I thank you sooo much! I'd give all you ladies a great big hug for being there and giving me the advice I needed, but it's a cyber hug!


Thanks again,

Just to let you know too girlie, you're 19, you're an adult, so you should be able to have your own decisions from now on. I mean you should know what the responsibilties are and everytihng. You're old enough to have a job and it seems like you have a good guy standing by you and i'm sure he'll be a great help as well. But you are an adutl and you are able to take care of yourself and a child. I knwo that you alreayd told your grandmother, but I do want you to know that even if she did shun you for it, that it shoudln't matter, because it is your life. I just had a little one a little over a month ago and we're planning number 2. I too am 19 and I know my family, well my dad's side, won't be too happy about it, my my hubby's family will just be over joyed with it!! But I don't care what they think, they're not hte ones taking care of the child, I am, you know?

hey I live about 30 minutes from you.

Mrs_shipley - I knew u could do it congrats sweetie.

Yay! Good girl, im happy for you!

Is it scary to have a baby? Does it hurt or is it just uncomfortable? I am 14 years old and want a baby, so I am trying to recieve as much advice as possilbe. Congrats to all the young mothers out there! Good job, keep on being strong, because you give courage to all of us who are confussed and scared.
