Well, I got it over with! I told him face to face, which I'm glad I did, even though I could barely look at him when I said it. When I said it, he just got this totally shocked look on his face. I know he definitely didn't expect me to say I was pregnant. He was speechless for a while, but then he asked me how I found out, when I found out, etc. He was upset/is upset that I waited 3 weeks to tell him. I just started sobbing because it's the first time I've actually said it to anyone. Everything I've been bottling up just came out. He just held me while I cfried and cried. I asked him about what we're going to do and he said he doesn't know.We went for a drive because we were at his parents house and didn't want to risk people over hearing us. I told him everything I've been thinking since I found out. He didn't really say much, just listened. He said he just needs time to process it. When he dropped me off at home a little bit ago he told me it'd be okay and that he loved me. He's texted me several times to check on me. It's really hard because I have to pretend everything's completely fine in front of my parents, and they're around me all the time!

It sounds like it went really well 
Luckily you have a very supportive OH!

Good for you, you must feel at least a little better. Maybe you and him could talk about how to tell your parents together? I mean he is the only one who is in the exact same situation as you.
Proud of you for telling someone, at first it is really hard to say the words "I'm pregnant" out loud. I managed to avoid it for several days, and when ever OH would say "Liv, you're pregnant" I would cringe.
..Now for your parents?

I feel a tiny weight lifted off my shoulders now. I felt really guilty knowing that I knew and he didn't. It was hard to be around him sometimes. He said he knew something was wrong because I'd been acting different.
I told him I don't think I can tell my parents. He said we'll worry about that later, but that I have to go to the doctor.
It is really hard to even say "I'm pregnant" to myself, let alone say it out loud to someone else. I don't think I'll get used to it for a while.
I'm now only just getting used to it. still for some reason when ever OH uses the actual words "You are pregnant" it still makes me cringe.. I don't mind other people saying it or when we talk about when the babies here and stuff but those words make me uncomfortable

Well I think that is the best way to tell people. Because, they do deserve to know.
Don't follow in my foots steps, and hold it off for about 4 months, and then wait to tell anyone until 26 weeks, getting first and last ultrasound at 28 weeks.
Thankfully my son is alright, but I should have known better to risk my life, but better yet, to risk my own son's life.
I regret it.. I regret it a lot..
After you tell him it will feel so much better.
Just remember no matter what, family is always going to be family, and true friends will always stay true.
good luck.

Well done 
your OH sounds a bit like mine, except it took him like 3 days to talk to me because he didn't believe me and was shocked, but he was so supportive and sweet. Let it sink in for him first, it is very shocking news.

If it were just up to me, I think I would wait 4 months to tell anyone! Now that my boyfrfiend knows, he won't let me go that long without telling my parents or going to the doctor.
Btw, you look exactly like someone I go to school with, except for the pink in your hair. It sort of scared me at first. Anyway...
Oh Sam, that's great! It sounded like it went well! He sounded really supportive. Next to tackle is your parents, as soon as you're ready
. Well done xxx
I don't think I'll ever be ready for that. My stomach gets really tense when I think about telling them.
The longer you wait to tell your parents the harder it is going to get. It is hard, possibly one of the hardest things you'll ever do but it's for the best. Having your bf be there when you tell them will probably be a big help, I know it helped me to have mine with me. You just have to remember that despite their reaction they still love you. Things may not be perfect after you tell them but your baby is what matters now.
We've all been in your position we all understand it's hard but we knew at the end of the day we needed to tell our parents and now it's your turn.

I know. I sort of wish I had told my parents 3 weeks ago when I find out. I'm constantly paranoid because I think they'll find out somehow, like they'll walk in while I'm on this site or they'll find the pregnancy tests. I can't tell you how many heart attacks I've almost had when I've thought they'd found out.
I think about telling them, but I can't do it.

Oh Sam, I wish I could tell them for you
. I know they won't want to hear about your pregnancy from anyone else, so it's best to tell them before someone can get in there! What about writing a letter? Xxx
Oh Sam, I wish I could tell them for you
I wish you could tell them for me too! The thing is, I want my parents to know. I feel like I need them to help me. It' just the telling them part that I can't seem to do just yet.
A letter might be okay.

I was like that too only difference was I was away at college, I would avoid coming home on weekends I was so scared my mom would notice I was gaining weight, or that I was having morning sickness or all kinds of crazy things. My bf is really the reason I told them, he was really good on making me realize I needed to tell them and that he'd be there when they found out it really helped. Just know your not alone, not ever, you have your bf and you have us here on BnB no matter what. Their are a ton of ways you can tell your parents, whatever makes you feel comfortable some girls wrote letters, others told them in person, some through text messages or phone calls. Whatever helps you get through it.

It sounds like it went very well for you sweetheart. At least your OH was understanding of the situation. How long have you two been together? 
Conor was there when I took the pregnancy test so we both found out together. He acted very immaturely at the beginning and was reacting terribly to the news. But he is amazing with our daughter! He is the best father and partner you could ask for
