How did you do it and what where the reactions?

[dizzy65]

i was 19 when i found out i was pg i went and called my parents right after and they said they saw it coming hehe they wernt mad just in shock for the first little while DF told his parents too the same day his dad was a bit angry and his mum was happy for us.. we were really old enough so they had no say tbh

 

[x__amour]

I was 18 when I found out but I will be 19 when I deliver.
I just told my Mom straight up and she was really great. My Mom told my Dad which bothered me a little and he was really irate at first but came around a few hours later and was super supportive. They've been great ever since. Definitely feel it's better to tell them to their faces but it all depends on you and your parents.

I called them, it wasn't a big deal since i already have a son. First time i told them i just showed up at their houses with my big belly, they never had anything to say ( I didnt live at home either time.)

With Jaymee I was 18 and It wasnt a Very good thing OH told his mom first who Came down to my parents house and Started screaming at me saying I ruined her sons life and she was actually the one who told my parents My mom was upset but after the shock excited and my dads Reaction was Maybe youll have a Boy that is really all he said lol

With this baby I am 20 and My mom Came to the hospital where I had Just found out myself 10 minutes Before and OH just blurted it Out and my sister accidently told my dad but he was Happy about it anyways. We told OHs mom with a Picture Frame that said Grandkids on it and OHs step dad caught on right away His mom had to Read the card before she understood. But her reaction was Well Better to get them out young lol and beside you did better then me my kids are only a Year and a half to the day apart So with this baby all around better reaction Although everyone LOVES Jaymee minus Dans biological father but hes Not a very nice man and I hate him anyways

I was 16 when i found out, my step mom suspected it as i was throwing up on a daily basis, very sensitive to things. She went on a trip and i was just mad at my dad and i screamed at him and ended up telling him, his responce was "im not suprised" yeah, he's awesome. and he demanded to see the test and took me to the doctor. but before all that he decided he'd call my boyfriends parents and inform them too. he also posted it on facebook saying " i was just informed im going to be a grandfather before the age of 40" so then i got emails and messages from ALL grandparents , aunties ect. i was not impressed, i told my mom on the phone as she lived a province away, and she wasnt mad or anything she got pregnant at 17. 2 weeks after i told her, i moved in with her, my boyfriend came with me too, leaving his family and friends behind. we have our own apartment as of nov 1st.
His parents... his mom suggested adoption
His dad just wanted to make sure we were happy, he made sure we knew he loved us but that doesnt mean he was happy with all our decisions. Lukes step mom, was very rude (i think) about it. she told us we werent ready, and i told them at 4 months. and she insisted i knew all along, and she kept informing us it would change our lives, good thing she has NO kids to put this information to, she married my boyfriends dad when all his kids were over the age of 7. She kept saying she knew all this, and that god doesnt want this.

i'm 17 and will still be 17 when baby comes.

i haven't told my parents, haven't seen them in 2 years. told OH parents, his mum had him at 15 so is really supportive, they were both shocked but happy

I found out on monday morning and my mother knew it one day later - but i don't know why? and by who?!

My parents were angry! Both!
We had no really conversations. When they talked to me, they were telling me that there is no chance to keep my baby ! That I should have an abortion!
That I have to move out and they won't contact with me anymore.

The result of everything. My little baby boy is 3 month (on sunday) and I live still at home.

Im 16 found out about a month and half ago. Mum kindda found out twice.. I had an argument with her ( a big one) and i threw my laptop and she took it away, i left the house and she decided to snoop through all my emails with FOB which said everything. She asked me the next day if it was true, i just kept denying it (i was swinging towards abortion back then) then she kept asking and i got nervous and said i got rid of the baby. A week later i realised how much i wanted to keep the baby and got my bestfriend (shes like my mums other daughter) to text her, she didnt text back, came home the next day she started shouting about how it would ruin my life and so on, i left the house again, came back the next day and she was like a completlyy different person. Talking about how i could move into her room, how her and my sister could look after it when im at college, how shes going to try find me a job with people she knows. Then she told all my family for me my sister and her have been really great, i wish i could say that for all my family! but hey i guess some people need more time to come around then others

I was 17 when i found out i was pregnant.
I had an argument with my boyfriend, and told him to f**k off... then sat behind my bedroom door crying. My mum was home, and came in and asked what was wrong, i told her i think i'm pregnant

she called my boyfriend back, then told my dad, they went to get me a pregnancy test, i took it, they were shocked, and said i'm young, but they fully supported me, and my boyfriend, and to this day i couldn't ask for better grandparents to my boy! I know they are going to be fantastic when he is here

I was 19 when I found out.
I was rished into hospital a few days later as they thought it was ectopic, I ended up staying in a few nights so OH told his mum as she wondered why I wasn't there lol, she took it well.
When I was around 7 weeks we told my parents (I wanted to wait as I had a previous miscarriage at 6.5 weeks) they took it very well.

[young-mummy]

i was 17 and told my mum in a letter and left it under a pillow - she took it really bad but has come round so much- i asked my mum to tell everyone else.. now everyone is exited and helpin out xxx

 

[MissMamma]

i was 18 and told my parents face to face. they took it so well i ended up crying, i had expected to be told off
telling them face to face is much better imo, i think they'll respect you much more if you can..xx

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

Gee, our mothers are great, huh?
I'm glad you have your OH's family supporting you though... I don't even know if FOB has bothered telling his parents >.>

Are you still planning on going to Uni or have you rethought things? I know that nothing is gonna stop me from going and it'll be the best move for LO too.

My mum said "have you got some good news for me?" and i said "yes the scans on tuesday" and she was happy about it.

Oh I might go, I might not. Depends on what I want to do. I'm a writer/editor at the moment so I might just do that. lol who knows!

My mums always been a bitch. Totally expected!
Bloody FOBs! I hope he sorts himself out soon!

 

[icantdecide]

im 19 and i cant tell them!!

they will be so unbelivabel dissappointed as ive just landed this amazing job and ill have to give it up....

when you do tell them let me know as i need some tips toooo!!

 

[holly2234]

It seems that its best face to face. Good luck! How come you have to give up your job? You should be able to get some sort of maternity leave

 

[Srrme]

I'm 20 and had to tell my mom through text messages since she lives 3000 miles away. She took it pretty well. I haven't told my dad yet, but I suspect my mom probably has and they're just keeping it from me. We're telling OH's parents tomorrow when we visit.
