Name: question [ Original Post ] Hi girls I just want to encourage any of you afraid to tell your parents that it won't be as bad as you think.I told my parents like this. (over the phone) "mom,I really don't want to upset you and dad,but what I am going to tell you will anyway.I just left ___________ clinic and I have bad news.I am pregnant" My mom just said well you knew the consequences of what you were doing.Then later that night she called me to see how I was feeling.It was great knowing that I am not hiding it from them anymore. I can call my mom any time I have a question and she is there for me.It is an awesmoe feeling.However I have not and will not ask them to approve of what I am doing because I know they don't.I know they had higher hopes for me than this,but I know now it will be ok.So please tell your parents they will be disappointed at first because they will think that you are throwing away all thier dreams for you,but prove to them that you are seriuos about life and that you want to raise your child to be a stong person and that you will still aspire to achieve their dreams and will still make the proud.You must have a humble attitude and tell them you screwed up but you want to make it right. ↓

I took until I was 25 weeks to tell my mum.. and an extra week for my dad.. Mum could tell anyway and only said that it was about time I told her. Dad asked me and I spent a good hour denying it. Later on he asked when did I plan on having one then and without thinking I said april.. All he did was give me a hug and say congratulations. Now to think I spent all those weeks scared and worrying!! ↑
