How do you tell your parents that you're pregnant?

No worries I am not pregnant, just out of curiosity, how would you tell your parents that you are?

Answer #1

I guess it depends on the situation - how old I was, what kind of relationship I was in that caused the pregnancy, what kind of lifestyle I had been leading. Those factors might make different explanations more applicable.

In general, if faced with this myself in my own situation, I would probably just do it like a bandaid - rip it off - just spit it out right away.

Something along the lines of: Mom, I’m pregnant. I am sorry if you are disappointed in the choices that lead to this result, but that is now in the past and too late to change - I am now looking forward to taking care of this new life growing inside and I deeply hope and pray that you will be there to help and support me through this difficult and exciting change I will be making in my life. I love you very much.

Answer #2

It was very hard for me to do at 15 yo. I hid it from them far too long. Finally, when I couldn’t take it anymore, I went to my mom and said “I’m pregnant”

It was rough. Life wasn’t easy and my father was more than disappointed in my choices. The kids made fun and I had to change to a school for pregnant teens. Not only that, but I HAD TO mature.

I made the choice of adoption, which saved me and my son, truthfully. That was 23 years ago and I know that my life would never have been the same.

As a teen, you believe that bad things will go away if you ignore them. Pregnancy doesn’t, it just gets bigger (as do you.) Bottom line, if you (or a friend) is pregnant, the quicker a parent is told… the quicker the disappointment and/or anger goes away and the quicker that child inside can be taken care of by a doctor.
