i was 14, and i told my dad first.
he told my mom, then we all sat down and talked about it
both my parents were too shocked to be mad, so they took it pretty well.

i found out at 17, told my mum guess what?im pregnant, but she didnt believe me and was laughing until i showed her the test, i was suprised coz she was exited for me.and was telling me off for crying lol. i was too scarred to tell my dad to his face.coz when i lived with him i literally was never allowed out or to even talk to any guys.so imagine me getting pregnant by one.he was sooo damn stricked. but thanks to the divorce my dad tries to make me like him better, so he was allgood about it...but almost everyone else in my family were angry n wanted me to give it away wen its born and they still do.. IDIOTS!LOL

I was 19 and I told both my parents via text and then my dad rang me crying sayin he was disappointed that I couldn't tell them face to face

 

[we can't wait]

Too nervous.

When you do tell them, tell them to their face. They'll appreciate it more!

I was 19 when I was pregerant. Found out roughly at 6 weeks, I had a MC and MMC before hand and me and OH were not trying as we was still upset.
I told OH soon as I found out, he was really happy.
We told his family (my inlaws) at around 11 weeks, MIL was over the moon as she had just found out SIL was preggers half an hour before hand.
Told my mum & dad at 14 weeks, they were shocked but now are really excited.

Took it pretty well really!

You'll be okay, just tell them straight. If not write them a letter.

 

[mummy x2]

Hey i dont think im classed as a teen anymore but this is my 3rd nd my mum was upset to the point i was in tears but i know she will come around as she was the same with my other children. its best to tell your parents to there faces or atleast be in the same house.

I was 17 when I found out I was pregnant, but will be 18 when the baby is born. I kinda knew before I even tested, but I tested when I was probably about 4 weeks and got 4 positives. I didn't tell my parents until I was about 12 weeks and I regret that because the baby didn't get the care she needed as early as she should have.

Anyways I was to scared to do it on my own so I was going to tell them with OH but we just couldn't do it we were to scared. So one day I called my youth leader(youth pastors wife) and met up with her. I told her I was pregnant and needed help telling my parents. So later that day we met up with my parents and her and her husband help me tell them and work everything out. It went very well, but they were upset that I couldn't tell them on my own.

I was 18 when I found out (and I'll be 18 when I deliver). I was in such denial and would not test even though I was already 4 days late and having symptoms. My mom who has been my rock since I was little was in the bathroom with me. We both cried after I saw those 2 lines. She cried for 2 weeks straight, more because she was scared for me not because she was disappointed.

My dad on the other hand I didn't tell until I was 18 weeks along (bad, I know). I've never had a real strong relationship with him and didn't know how to go about telling him. Our relationship is really awkward now and I barely speak to him as of this point, but he isn't mad at me... he just still sees me as his little girl and I guess it's hard for us to communicate our feelings to each other.

Ergh. I only live with my mom and siblings. I was sixteen at the time, became seventeen when I turned five months. This is the story:

Found out I was 4 weeks pregnant on my sister's birthday - April 26th
Told EVERYONE but my mom throughout the next week.
Spent the bank holiday at my friend's house (we watched Juno and a couple of other DVDs)
As soon as I got home on the Monday (exactly one week after finding out) -
I said "I have to tell you something and I really don't want to"
She said "You'd better not be..."
*Awkward silence*
Me: I'm pregnant
Mom: *Hugs* Well, you can't keep it...
Me: What? Yes I can
Mom: What about college? And all your plans?
Me: They'll have to be delayed by a year...
Mom: I thought you were smart...

Then there was loads of crying. "I thought you were smart" and similar lines seem to be way too common >.>

I'm 17 and 8 weeks. I found out at 5 weeks. I told my dad a few days after I found out. I wrote him a longg letter telling him I loved him and how we'd made it through really hard times and this is nothing compare to those. This is a blessing at a odd time lol. And proceeded to beg him not to make me move out. Blah blah blah. My friend Karen went with me to tell him. He was doing dishes and we walked into kitchen and I was like dad I need to tell you something. He looked at me and I just started crying! Finally I was like I'm pregnant! And handed him the letter. He hugged me and said it'd be ok. Little did I know he already knew. Haha

I was 19 when I found out but I was 19 weeks and 3 days when I found out, and I told my mom in a letter.....she was shocked but so was I!

 

[samface182]

i text my dad and told him. he replied, 'im coming up to see you' he did come up, and everything was fine. they were both really happy!

I can relate to that.

I called mum at work and asked her to come round. She said just tell me you're not pregnant. And I said I can't say that mum.

So she came round screaming about abortion and how I was a total failure at life and would live in a slum etc. I was 18, 19 now. Lived with my partner and independant from her. She told dad who cried.

Now my fucking little bitch of a sister smarms around being smug about how she's going to uni etc and Mum favours her like NOTHING ELSE. I did point out that I was achieving more academically than her at her age and that I talked about uni all the time. Mum just said "Yeah but she's actually gonna do it"

Basically my family are negative fuckers who I can rarely cope with. Especially my mum, who is a constant source of BS. AWESOME!

OH's family are amazing

i was 22 when i found out i was pregnant and i asked mum if i had read the test correctly and she looked at it and just said calmly "oh well that changes things then doesnt it" and since then shes been super calm and excited!
