Teen Pregnancy Support Group

im 17 and pregnant snd i dont know how to tell my parents.. please help?

hiii girly. (: my names taylor and i'm 15 and have a baby boy whose four months. (: i would just sit down with your mom or dad.. whichever one you think will take it better and just tell them and what your plan is. they will probably be mad at first but it'll get better. (:

Yea I agree with her just sit them down and have a talk with them hun. My name is Amber I am 21 and have a little girl that will be 8 months on fri.

Hi and welcome! My name's Megan, I'm 17 too and 33 weeks pregnant with a little girl. (:

Telling your parents is one of the hardest parts, but honestly it's best just to sit them down and tell them as soon as possible. If you think one parent will take it better than the other you might want to tell that one first. It makes the whole pregnancy easier to deal with when you don't have to try to hide it from people, especially your parents because you'll probably be relying on them for a lot of support and stuff through all this. Good luck! (:

I agree with megan the first step which is telling someone is so hard but at some point u will have to better sooner than later so that planning for whatever you do is a breeze

hey girl. i'm isabella, i'm 17 and i have a 13 month old son. just sit them down and tell them. try to have some kind of plan to tell them so you seem more responsible about it and if you think one will take it better, definitely tell that one first. good luck and let us know how it goes! and welcome to the group (:

the easiest way is to just tell them and get that part done and over with my name is maire i have a 2 week old son thats still in the Nicu i got pregnant when i was 17 it wasnt hard for me to tell my mom cuz we are so close i was just worried what my dad would think since i disapointed him so many times before i got pregnant but now everything is ok and my dad is so proud to be a grandpa if you need someone to talk to PM me

im 18 and im 28 1/2 weeks. and trust me telling my parents when i found out felt like i was going to be better off dying. i was sooo scared to tell them. ( and my parents are divorced so id have to talk to them separately) but i told my mom first. ( maybe you could have a sit down with her first and then both of you could talk to your dad. ) and i thought my mom was gonna be upset and frustrated but even as complicated as the situation was she was shocked but she was still behind me all the same. and actually telling my dad was hardest ( cause hes really old school) but he took it a lot better than i thought he would. He was shocked but (i heard from a friend, who works with him(( hes a fisherman)) that my dad was excited to be a grandad.) best way to do it would be just take a deep breath and sit down with one or both ( depending on how you feel itll be handled. Cause some parents are a little overreactant)and just be like " we need to talk." maybe even before you talk take a pregnancy test as proof. and when you sit down hand them the test. ( that what i did with my mom. she got a i cant believe this smile on her face and she asked me what happened. then we just started talking. it wasnt nearly as bad as i thought it would be. )

omg lyssa your mom SMILED?! i was like 'mom, i know why i've been sick' and she just stared at me for a long time and then left to go buy me a new test cuz she didn't believe mine. lol. she wasn't really mad. just shocked. she definitely didn't smile though. lol.

yeah but it wasnt yay shes finally having a baby, you could see the irony behind it. i took 3 test before i talked to her ( not the same day of course) and all over a weeks time and they all said the same thing. so she couldnt argue. but she was pretty chilll about the whole thing. like she even opted to adopt her if i wanted her but didnt feel i could take care of her on my own ( shed still be mine and id take main care of her but mom would cover most of the expenses.)
