Pregnant Teen ForumsGeneral & SupportI actually told my parents...

So, I somehow managed to tell my parents that I'm pregnant. I didn't plan on doing it at the time, but I just blurted it out. I couldn't keep it in any more and the longer I thought about how I'd tell them, the more I realized that I wasn't going to be able to sit them down and break the news lightly. I'm supposed to be "mature" about this now, but they've sent me to my room like a little kid. They aren't talking to me right now. My mom is crying. My dad doesn't believe it, like literally refuses to believe it. I feel so bad. I feel like I've ruined their lives. I begged them not to call my boyfriend's parents and tell them. This is going to turn into a mess. It's all my fault.

Its better you tell them now then when your 20 weeks pregnant and they find out. Everyone has to know sooner or later. In the end it will all be well. Dont worry too much.

like the other girls said, you had to do it and it's good that you did it. hopefully, with a little time they will start to become more supportive. try to tell them that this has not ruined anyone's life and that you will continue with school and that you have a plan (whatever that plan may be). show them that you know this is hard and that you're younger than anyone would have wanted you to be as a first-time mom but that it will be okay because, sweetie, it WILL be okay. :]

I feel so ashamed. I just want to stay locked in my room until this is over. My mom has taken off work today and I'm going to the doctors TODAY! I'm panicking now. I thought we'd at least have to wait until next week. I'm really scared now.

definitely, let us know what happens. trust me though, nothing is going to happen at the doctors that is scary. you just have to be calm. and it's really important that you get to one so it's good that you aren't waiting.

and don't be ashamed. there is nothing wrong with being a teenage mother. we're all doing it and we aren't ashamed. i guess i felt bad when i first found out but it didn't last long. within a couple of days i was refusing to get an abortion and i was buying toys and strollers and whatever i needed. it's hard but it's not the end of the world at all.

I'm always scared of the doctor. I'm feeling really sick over it. I've been sort of sick with morning sickness lately, but today I've been puking non-stop, mainly because of nerves.

There is a lot wrong with being a teenager mother in my world. My mom is already like, "What am I going to tell my friends?" That doesn't make it any easier for me to not be ashamed, you know.

And you were buying strollers and stuff a few days after you found out? I don't even want to buy any baby things. I don't even want to go to the store to get them. I want to hide from the public.

well, to be honest you're going to have to get over that. you don't need to hide from anyone. i went out with my aunt about a week after i found out to garage sales and got a stroller, a few books and some other things.

and there is nothing wrong with being a teenage mother. you're going to have to get over what other people think. people will always be rude but it doesn't matter to us.
