Young mommys, How did you tell your parents you were/are pregnant? UPDATE IN RED! UPDATE AGAIN IN GREEN!

[teen_mommy2010]

Hi everyone!! Ill be 19 in April and im around 13-14 weeks pregnant and i was just wondering how you told your parents that you had become pregnant and being so young how did they take it?

I just sent my mom a card (she lives in another state) and i know she hasnt gotten it yet due to the fact she hasnt called me bitching yet lol. The card said stuff along the lines like this baby is a blessing, please dont call to harass me about it, I want you involved in your grandbabys life, and that life isnt fucked up for me now, its just going down a different path. The card also contained a picture of my last ultrasound, so im hoping the pic will calm her a bit.

As for my dad i havent told him yet due to the fact that he lives in the same state lol

But i want to hear your guys stories!! If you dont mind sharing :D

 

So my mom called me earlier today telling me that she was happy for me. She didnt react at all the way i thought she would. She knew that i wouldnt get on birth control so she wasnt suprized at all when she got the card.  I texted my sister and it turns out she is already planning my baby shower! My sister even told me that my grumpy step-dad also seemed to be excited about it! Which suprises me due to the fact he always wants whats best for me. She wants me to keep her updated and once i found out if my baby is a boy or girl, she wants to start buying baby stuff!

One parent down...One to go :D

 

So today i finally told my dad. The only thing he said was "I already knew it, I'm a smart wise old guy." lol hes not mad either...he was worried bout how my mother took it and i told him she was pretty excited. My mom told me to ask my dad if he was coming down to where my mom lives so she could throw me a baby shower and all he said was "well tell me when you want to go and ill make it happen." Overall i guess he isnt mad about it at all. Im guess im in the clear now! Yet, im only talkin to dads through texts so im not sure how his "VOICE" really is right now.

I didn't believe my pregnancy test so I had my mother come look at it. Lol. She took it real well. My dad, when I told him, justed hugged me. He told me things would be ok. I'm glad they took it so well. They love their grandson so much!

Well. my grand was very upset... (I was 14). She tried ignoring me for days because she was afriad I would end up like my birth mom. A druggie that laid beside anyone and a low life that popped kids out but did not want to support and raise them I guess. Basicaly she was upset I was her baby and now I was having a baby really young. I got pregnant with my daughter Katelynn, which is 7 now, at age 14. I had her right after turning 15. I basically when I went to tell her I had my friend call and leave a message on my answer machine asking if I was going to tell my grand. So when I got home my grand ask me was there something important I needed to tell.

I didnt tell my parents both times, I ended up telling my aunt, my aunt told my grandma. And within that day my grandma told my mom lol. At the time with my first I was 18 and now i amgoing to be 20 when this baby comes

[rylansmommy4108]

with my first I told my mom in a note...she was not all that happy but now she loves her grandson...this time I have not told her...Idk if I really want to i know it will cause drama...cause my son is only 2 and im 21 weeks...but I think 2 1/2 years is a really good age gap

i just told my mom. it was on the phone though (then my dad overheard her on the phone and figured out what was happening) .

im really sarcastic and joke around a lot so my mom didnt believe me at first. it took a good 10 min for me to convince her i was being serious.

luckily i have a very supportive family and a mom  who is addicted to babies. i was 19, they were obviously disappointed,  and worried about how  it would affect me and my future. once i told my mom  i was for sure keeping the baby and a few days passed to let the initial shock wear off....she was extremely excited and couldnt wait for my due date. my dad showed less enthusiasm but was also very supportive and accepting of  everything.

I did about the same as you. I was 18 when I got pregnant. My husband and I had just eloped right before we got pregnant but we never told our family we were married. I wrote my mom a letter and as sent an ultrasound picture. I was around 20 weeks pregnant. My mom lived 8 hours away. My mom flipped. I was an adult living with my "boyfriend" at the time, so I really don't know why she got so mad=/ 6 years later my mom and I are close and she is a great grandma=)

I was 19 when I got pregnant for the first time. I didn't actually find out until I was about 16 weeks.. ( a whole other story ) I was so nervous to tell my parent's.. I had a scheduled ultrasound for my 18th week... My mom works in the hospital... and a woman congratulated her after seeing my scheduled appointment.. My mom called me asking if I forgot to tell her something.. and that's when I told her.. She was upset at first, but I think it was more so that I didn't tell her first... then we told my dad and he was annoyed at first but a week later, they were buying stuff and telling everyone they knew about the baby

i was kinda lucky when it came to telling my parents . i got a cyst when i was pregnant (i've had really big ones before that they almost did surgery on) so when i was crouched over in pain at work i knew that pain and new it was a cyst. So i went to the hospital so they could do an ultrasound and make sure it wasn't too big. my sister met me at the hospital to make sure i was ok and speed things up since she worked there. My mom knew that i was going to the hospital (she lived in another state) so she was sending texts every 5 minutes seeing if we had any news yet. So when we left the hospital we were both driving to my sisters house she called my parents and told them. She knew my mom would over react and so she told her that she was taking my phone for the next 2 days so they could cool off and then she would give it back to me and they could call me. That way things weren't said out of pure emotion she would regret later. She told my mom she had one of two options to freak out on me like she wanted to which would ultimatly lead to her never being a part of her grandbabys life, or getting over it and moving forward and supporting me in whatever decision i made about the baby. My mom was still pretty pissed when i talked to her (i was glad there was 5000 miles between us ha). but she mostly just gave me "that was so irrisponsiable" speach and wanted to know how i was going to afford a baby and what i would do about school. She tried to play the "i failed as a mother card and i told her this wasn't about her and hung up on her so she didn't pull that again. It was ruff at first but eventually they got over being angry and dissapointed and were very excited by the time baby came.

I was 16 and I was living with my mom. I sat down while we were in the room togather, and said "mom i have something to tell you.." and she said "are you pregnant?" and i didnt say anything. So she knew. I didnt tell my dad because we weren't speaking, a few months before that he kicked me out because I wouldnt babysit. He found out when I was sick in the hospital because I lost about 25lbs and couldn't keep anything down..not even drops of water. Was horrible. The next two times, I just told um. God married when I was 6mo pregnant with our second. We now have our third who is 6months old and I'm so happy. I love our family and I'm glad to have my husband. 22 and 3 kids, couldnt be more ecstatic!
