I think the only way you can do this is to just be totally honest hun, know what you want to say and do together with your bf. If she's anything like my mum when i was preg with my first aand you don't tell her soon enough she'll guess....my mums responce was ' I was wondering when you were going to tell me!' Good Luck hun x

we are just really scared cause in the last couple months both of our lives have been going downhill...his parents dont like me mine dont like him a lot. his dad has been yelling at him alot cuz of me..and all i have been trying to do is please his parents and everytime i try harder they seem to hate me more...
my boyfriend and i have both got kicked outta school this year and are going back in september. im not sure what school to go to and he is going to the learning store. we are moving in together soon...
we just dont know how to tell the parents...and i think they are gunna start to notice soon cuz ive already started to show((i used to be kinda small)) a little and i pee like a million times a day...

All I can say stay strong for each other and you know you will always have someone there to support you. It will be hard and if your parents are upset they will gradually get used to the idea, I know mine wanted me to have an abortion but as soon as they realised i wasn't backing down they supported me 110%. Alot of things will probably be said in the heat of the moment i imagine but don't take any of it to heart...you never know you may get a reaction you're not expecting and be winding yourself up for nothing. Easier said than done but try not to stress as it's not good for you or the baby

Hey hun, a little older than you but I had to tell my rents when I was just 18 (which still felt quite young then) now i'm 20. I wrote everything I wanted to tell them down in a letter, that way they would listen / read everything without shouting / interupting or walking out....it gives them an idea of how u feel, where you plan to go from here etc..... I left the letter somewhere I knew they would find it - in my case the telephone table, lol.
Then I went to my b/f for a couple of nights while they had some time to get used to it and calm down.....
I went home, yes, they were upset, dissapointed (always the worst) but there wasn't much they could ask me as I had already answered / told them everything in the letter.
I ope you find a way which makes it a bit easier for you. I know it's not easy but the sooner they know the less worry for you and baby.
Good luck hun xxx

Honey, the best way is just to tell them. I don't think there is an easy way but the best thing to do is tell them right away.

I hope it all goes well for you!
