Hi everyone, I'm new to this board and wanted to introduce myself. I just found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant. It was unplanned and very unexpected but both myself and my boyfriend are happy about it.
I'm nervous however about how my parents will react to the news. They are both extremely religious and believe that sex before marriage is a sin. I am 30 years old but I have always felt under their pressure to be a certain way in order to make them happy and accept me. I am scared that when I tell them the news they'll be so disappointed in me and never want to speak to me again. I wish that they could be happy for me but I know that would never happen as my boyfriend and I aren't married yet. Its my first pregnancy and I'm scared to go through it without the wisdom and love from my mother.
I don't want to upset them but I have to tell them soon...how do I tell them with ease? (Also - they live in the US, and I live in Canada) so I would have to tell them over the phone...
Thanks everyone...
