Im 18 and recentley found out Im pregnant.
My boyfriends 24, and so happy about it,
But Im having mixed feelings, Im so scared about having this baby,
I just dont know how Ill cope!

Another massive thing is telling my mum,
Which is one of the scariest things I think Ill have to ever do.

Help.. :wacko:
 
Wow, I'm in exactly the same situation. I'm 18 and my boyfriend is 24. Telling my mum was pretty easy because she promised she wouldn't get mad if I told her what was wrong. She didn't get mad. She just got upset. I'm not sure what would've been worse. Now she's the most excited person in the world!
 
How long did it take you to tell your mum?
Its just Ive known for a month now, and Im thinkin the longer I leave it the worse it will get :(
 
Yeah that's what I thought, so I told her the day after I found out. I did it over the phone though, I was too scared to tell her to her face. I think if you're happy about it your mum will come around. Just make sure you're sure!
 
Oh, honey, I can imagine how scared you must be about everything right now.

Firstly, I think the sooner you tell your mom the better. Each day that goes by you will suffer more stress about it. She may be shocked, may be mad, but I believe in time she will come around.

Good luck to you! :hugs:
 
im 22, 21 when i told my dad. i was sh*tting myself over telling him as im the only daughter and its not like me and OH was settled, i was still living at home, just started a new job, OH is paying off debts, id just been accepted for university.... it wasnt perfect timing to say the least. i knew it OH knew it and i knew my dad wouldnt disown me or anything i just really couldnt be bothered with being told what i already know.
so i told him a week after i found out and he harped on mentioning every single thing we was giving up, every problem in our way etc... but i simply told him i was aware of everything he said and under no circumstances was i going to consider having a termination (i personally couldnt have 1) and he'll have to get used to the idea of being a grandad or carry on being negative and risk me not sharing anything with him regarding the pregnancy or the baby when it arrives, needless to say that was the kick up the arse he needed.
nowdays he's so excited.
i think no matter what your situation is you parent/s always mark out the negatives and point out the obvious especially if your not married, living together etc etc... if your parent is negative towards you being pregnant dont take it to heart they come round and if they dont you just go out your way to prove them wrong.
good luck hun xxx
 
Tell your mum sooner rather than later. I was 17 when I got pregnant with my first, & I didn't tell my parents until I was about 16 weeks. I think that upset them even more because they didn't want me to feel like I couldn't tell them things.

She might be upset & angry at first.. but just give her time. I'm sure she'll soon come around to the idea =)

Good luck!
 
Also 18...
I told my parents about 2 weeks after I found out but they're total idiots...I don't want to scare you with their reaction,I don't live with them thank God...
Anyway,I recommend you to tell them sooner rather than later...

Congrats and welcome!
 
Oh blimey!
Im so scared of telling her,
Suppose Ive gotta do it sometime..

I just feel like she'll tell me I'm wrong and Im making a big mistake e.t.c :(
 
She'll tell you you're making a mistake, she'll point out everything you're missing out on and she'll tell you that your life will never be the same (and probably that you've ruined it). When she does that, you turn around and tell her your life won't be the same, that's true, but it will be a million times more worth it than you can ever imagine. Also, you didn't ruin your life, you just changed it! Infact, you could've made it a hell of alot better, who knows?!

Are you definately keeping it then? How far are you?
 
Umm I had my dating scan two days ago and Im 10 weeks and 4 days..
My mum had me at an early age and said she was too young and made a mistake having me so early, I know shell tell me the same. :(
 
Congratulations!

If she does that, then turn around, call her a hypercrit and tell her unless she's a psychic she doesn't know what's going to happen in the future (and you're going to prove her wrong)!
 
Congrats on the baby...I wasnt bothered telling my mum because 1)i didnt live with her, 2) she didnt give two monkeys about me.. however i lived with my nanna & grandad and i was so scared telling them as they were so proud of me for getting a job etc etc.. Anyway i ended up telling them, im not going to lie they wasnt very happy, not angry, just disapointed.. It took 4 months for my nanna to come to terms with it, i jsut had to show her that i was being responsible & mature enough.. Now my son is 6 months and she spoils him rotton..

But anway id tell her soon as it will just play on your mind and cause stress & you dont need that, she will come round and be happy in the end im sure.. Enjoy your pregnancy hun xxx
 
Hiya hun! I understand it's a scarey thing to tell your parents but it's the best thing to do sooner rather than later. Chances are they won't react as badly as you think and in all honesty if they do you really don't need to be around any negativity at this time.

Good luck! I hope all goes well
 
i toled my dad first in a letter that was the best thing i done,i didnt tell any1 4about a week,but its gr8 when its out in the open.
 
Another thing Im worried of is being able to afford everything I need.. And work? How did you all cope?
 
Are you and your boyfriend both working? I'm sure you'll be just fine. I'm not working I had just come out of sixthform. People do it with no job, no house, nothing. If you have a job, that's a start! Also, you get maternity pay and stuff when you have to stop working
 
Yeah at the minute, but after I have the baby I still wanna be workin an stuff? Ugh sorry for all the questions Im just so scared!
 
Depending on how much you earn you can get money for childcare
 
You can get a lot of help.So I've heard,I don't live in uk.

But,I go to college and work,and I'm very sure that I can do this so don't think for a second that everything ends...
I was so scared when I found out,I'm super excited now....
