i am 16 weeks pregnant on wednesday and i still havent told my dad as i dont see him or speak to him. we do get along, its just since i moved out of his last year we havent seen each over much, and he lives too far away from me, so i cant just get a bus over to his. and i know i have left it rather late to be telling him that im pregnant.
i know it really bad to tell him by text, but i get confused on the phone and i will get nervous and not know how to say it. but is email anybetter than text?
i feel so awfull about not telling him yet i just dont know how
my mum and step dad already know that i am pregnant
im almost 17
im 16 + pregnant so have been in a similar situation but i think it is best you go an see your dad to speak to him but then again what ever you feel will be better for you, just think of how your dad will feel if your send him a email or text, would he prefer you to speak to him face-to-face? xx

Im 25 and still sent my dad a text! I hardly see him either. He phoned me straight away to say congratulations.......i was very shocked!!!! he never normally says anything positive!
Its abit of a cop out to text but sooo much easier!
Good luck and dont worry, your old enough to make your own decision! xx

You could ask him to meet you near where you live...providing he drives and has a car or transport?! At least then you have given him the option to come up for a chat, (without your step mum there if thats what you want) if not then try to tell him on the phone, or phone him to say you have some news but your going to email him as you dont know how to say it.....
Hope it goes ok, keep us posted
Good luck hun xxx

I think email is better than a text as its easier to say more and maybe then you can also apologise for not telling him face to face and let him know your reasons i.e problems with transport and also explain they you freeze up on the phone. I'm sure he will understand that its not easy for you. The sooner you tell him the better, otherwise he might feel hurt that you have taken so long to tell him.
Good luck and congrats!

Why don't you ask him to go to lunch somewhere with you or meet up for a drink.Tell him that there's something you need to tell him so he's prepared and then tell him in person..
I also didn't want to tell my parents over the phone...so I actually drove to another state(i'm in US) to tell them...

you can always explain to your dad if you have to do it in an email or text your reasons for doing it this way. you could say dad im so sorry to tell you this way but i wanted to tell you privately and its very hard for me to travel out to you. i hope that you are not hurt thats its taken me so long and please know that i have wanted to tell you but it has not been easy for me.

It makes me sad when i see woman afraid to tell their parents. i always say that if my daughter (if i have one) ever falls preg at whatever age that she can feel comfortable to tell me.
