I'm 20 now, dh is almost 23, I don't expect any finacial help from family. I have proven myself as a good mom, I wish they could be excited. But, I know they won't be. My family thinks I should be the: go to a University far away, travel Europe, party, date around, then have a carrer; type person.  Mine & dh's family wasn't even at are wedding, because they thought we were too young at 18 & 21. We were dateing for 4 years before we got married.

 With my first pregnancy I told my family as soon as I found out. They said it was early & I could misscary. I did misscary at 12 weeks. They said it was a good thing because I wasn't ready for a baby. With ds I told my mom at 10 weeks & the rest of my family & dh'es family at 14 weeks.They acted like I was ruining my life. I'm having my 9 weekish  ultrasound on Thursday.I was thinking about showing are family's then to just get it over with .But, they may be like, why are you even telling me so soon, you really don't know if you're having a baby, you're not even in the second trimester. 

. Ugh vent over lol.

Tell them now. I'm 8 weeks, and we told our families today. I'm 19, df is 23, I have 6 year old twins. We have been together for four years. We have no assistance of any kind, never have, we both work and are in school. They weren't happy. This pregnancy wasn't planned, I was on birth control. We can manage it, and it'll be ok, they'll come around. But tell them now, the sooner you tell them, the better.

I'd wait. But I had a miscarriage at 15 weeks and was paranoid I'd have another.

Well if your worried about a miscarraige wait. But if your worried about what they will say, might as well tell them. They will feel the same no matter how far along you are.
