how do u tell your parents you've fallen pregnant so young?

how do you tell your parents you've fallen pregnant so young?????

                             i fell pregnant when i was 15, my first boyfriend and my first time. At that time i was living away from home and

away from my father's. i spent two months in denial about being pregnant. i went to 8 different doctors and i didnt contact my dad for two months. i was so scared of telling him because i didnt want to dissapoint him. i spent two months like that and then i fell really ill. i was rushed to hhospital. because i had been worrying so much about how to tell my father and being my first pregnancy i wasnt taking such good care of myself. i was 15 and i didnt understand. while i was in hospital the staff called my father and he had to hear from them that i was pregnant. and i realized that ihad dissapointed him even more by hiding the fact the he was going to b a grand father n him having to find out via someone else. n i hated myself for it. maybe if i had of been up front i would not have gotten sick.

                                                                                                     my advice girls ang guys if u guys are expecting a baby you shouldn't hide it from your family they are the ones that can help you the most.

Re: how do u tell your parents you've fallen pregnant so young?

I agree, being upfront and honest is always the best policy.  However, it's not always easy.  

My parents reactions to every pregnancy in the family has always been abusive and every woman has left their house in tears everytime, even when they were married for years and having their 3rd child.

So when I fell pregnant the 3rd time I hid it from my parents too.  I was 32 and hiding from my parents!!!

I guess it depends on the parents and your relationship with them.   I can't control or change the way my parents are, I just know that I have a much better relationship with my children, and that if it ever does happen I know I'll be supportive.

Hope it all worked out for you
