It was just my mum & I at home, I went up to her room while she was reading before bed and just told her. I cried, she didn't yell at me or cry or anything just asked me some questions and hugged me and she told me she loved me. She told my dad and he was waiting for me when I came home from work the next day. He was upset and I had to talk to him for awhile, but they both came around and helped me, and still are helping me & OH, a lot. They are completely in love with their granddaughter too.

My OH just told his parents.. he just said I was pregnant and they didn't believe him at first, but then his brother said "would he joke about something like that?" and they just said to him we're both adults.. we might have been stupid.. but they'd help us however they could.

I waited 7 weeks to tell my parents, i wouldn't recommend it! I told my mother first and that's all she could say is 'ok' over and over. I think she was quite shocked. She told me she needed some time to process it but after a while she came round and told me that we'd work things out etc. She came with me a few times to buy things when i was pregnant. My mother told my father and well he wasn't too pleased the words abortion came up a few times but as that wasn't an option in my mind he eventually was ok about it.

Get it over as soon as you can, don't put it off like i did. Good luck x

As soon as my

shown up i burst into tears and called my mum up, showed her the stick and said sorry about a billion times

, she just hugged me and called my dad up, who was a bit more upset but both were really supportive, told me theyd stick by me 100x and that there was noway i could get rid of their grandchild ( which wasnt an option anyway!)

The longer you leave it the harder it will be so its best to just come out with it x good luck!

aww that sounds lovely, i dont know wether to show them mine or not cz i still have them ( i took two to make sure ha) i think it may make it more realistic, i know i sound stupid but i just dont want to stress or upset them to much. im tellin them tomorrow for definate anyways cuz there suspicios as it is, rung my auntie up (who ive told) and asked her if i was and what was i drinkin today as i was at a party and sed to her its not the end of the world if she is and i just want to be ther to support her which has made me more eager to tell them cuz i just want a big cuddle of them both. and be able to show my bump off and be excited x
