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.
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!
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.
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 =)
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...
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?
