I'm 17 and i'm pregnant due in April which makes me about 6 and a half weeks, which could be more after the booking appointments which is next week so they can make the exact dates and was wondering if any one could give me and advice on how to tell my parents and when to etc.. considering ive only been with my OH for about 6 months! :l Help?

Thats upto you hun, but sooner the better maybe, so it has time to sink in.
If you tell them sooner, they will be able to support you and give you advice, after all, they was there once, and first time is scary, no matter how old you are.

.Congrats on your new expecting baby....
I know how you feel. Even though im a little older its still hard I will be 20 on sept. 30th and found out i was pregnant at 5 weeks 2 days. And Now im a little over 9 weeks pregnant. I still live with my mom and have yet to tell her. I need to so I know how you feel. But the sooner the better as everyoen says it true i know i should . It will be easier if you did it sooner so you will have support for weeks to come cause trying to hide morning sickness is not fun trust me.
Good luck with everything and everyone is here to support you
:hug:

Perhaps that may have been an ideal time to tell them? Maybe now wait until after your appointment and then tell them then so you can tell them exactly how far along you are. Good luck for when you do tell them, i imagine they'll be shocked at first but will probably come round :hugs:

I called my mum, asked her not to get mad, made her promise, then told her. Parents aren't as scarey as you think. They get over the shock so, so quickly when they know you're set on having it.

I was 16 when I was pregnant. Moms kinda have an intuition....i just told my mom I had something to tell her and she was the one to ask me if I was pregnant. She was ok with it .......my dad however wasnt but eventually he came around. The thing is youll have to tell em eventually so the sooner the better I guess. Good luck

Have you told your boyfriend?

If your parents already suspect then I'm guessing it won't be such a terrible shock to them.They might be upset and confused but in the end of the day they'll be there for you! :hugs:

Congratulations
