How should I tell my family that I’m pregnant?
Q: It’s kind of a long story! I am 18 years old, I moved out of my parents house when I was 16 and I graduated college with my associates degree. I am now in my junior year of college. I am from Utah and that’s where all of my family is but I recently received a scholarship to attend any school in the United States so in July, 2009, I moved to New York. Before moving to New York I was living with my boyfriend and he moved with me to New York. We have been together for going on two years now. He has already graduated college and has a good job. My scholarship gives me money every month for my food and rent and I only work about 10 hours a week (my scholarship prefers me not to work more than this so I can focus on my studies). Having my baby will not affect my scholarship in anyway, they will still pay for my schooling for 4 years. I plan on getting a double bachelors degree and then going on to law school. My whole life I have been 100% focused on my education and I will not stop because I am having a baby. I intentionally went off of my birth control in August because me and my boyfriend were thinking of getting pregnant, we just didn’t think it would happen so fast (only 1 month!). My boyfriend is extremely excited, this will be his second child, his first is now 6 years old and lives 25 minutes away from us. I am very independent and I have been my whole life, I was an emancipated minor. The only reason I am nervous to tell my family is because they are going to assume I just ruined my educational plans, which is not the case. I am also nervous to tell my father because he is in prison serving a 10 year sentence and not going to get out until 2011. So I don’t know how he’ll react. My sister is 22 and she just miscarried a few months ago so I’m scared this will make her feel bad. She also called me a few days before I found out that I was pregnant and told me she had a dream that I was pregnant and that I better not be (kinda weird lol). Also, I feel like this will just stress my family out and they already have enough stress in their own life’s. I also know they are going to be shocked but they will get over it within a week but then they will be sad that they are going to miss the whole pregnancy (since they are in Utah). I also should mention I have a brother who is 29 along with my sister who is 22 but this will be my mothers first grand-baby. She does want grand-kids but I don’t think I’m the one she wants them from! Any advise on how to break the news would be greatly appreciated:). Also, me and my boyfriend are fully capable of taking care of a child so please don’t bother with anything along the lines of, “You’re too young!” because I really don’t care to hear it! Thanks:)I think I miscarried:( Won’t know for sure until tomorrow but hcg levels went from 215 on 10/12 to 207 on 10/14.
A: Well first off, I was 18 when I had my son and he’s doing great so whoever has a problem with your age obviously has no heart. And as far as the family thing, I think the best way to go along with this is just to tell them straight out and hopefully they will react with love. Just let them know you are not going to quit school and that you and your boyfriend couldn’t be any happier. Everything happens for a reason. Like most families, they may react in their own way but once it sinks in and they realize the baby isn’t going anywhere, they’ll come around! Good Luck:)
How do I tell people that I’m pregnant……..????
Q: im only 18 and i am in my last year of secondary school (what americans basically call high school). i WAS going to go to university in the fall, but now i dont think that will work out.What is a good way to tell my parents that I’m pregnant???And also,about the “father: We both were under the influence of alcohol when we had sex. He is my friend’s cousin, and we aren’t even in a relationship. We hardly even know each other really. We have talked a few times before, though. should i tell him that I’m pregnant with his child???? that would be so awkward!!!but i just want to do the right thing and tell them the right way.and to my contacts: SORRY. this will be the last pregnancy question for a while!!! i bet i’m driving you all insane…..
A: The father should be included in this.. If he wants to be part of this child’s life thenthat’s great but if not then he has to help you.Just tell your parents that your pregnant straight out.. You will be okay.. and don’t worry if theydon’t support you. there are many programs thathelp pregnant women.P.S. I’m really glad to hear that you are keeping the kid! =]
How can I tell my parents that I’m pregnant?
Q: I’m 18 years old and approximately 12 weeks pregnant. I’m in my first year of college, since I graduated from high school early, and I’m “employed” by the Army. I feel as if I should just be confident and tell my parents, since I am an adult and it isn’t as if I’m asking to live with them, or even to have them pay for any expenses. However, I’m worried that regardless of my age or position in life, that they will simply treat me like a child who has disobeyed. I’ve tried to get things on track before I tell them, such as talking with my superior officers and working things out with them, making and paying for my prenatal appointments etc., but for some reason I am convinced that these things will not boost their confidence in my ability as a parent. Both of my older sisters (ages 35 and 37) have children, but they both were married and 25 or older at the time. This will work against me, because my oldest sister (my mother’s favorite) was 30 before she had her first child. My parents, like myself, do not believe in abortion, and I think this and the fact that the baby’s father and I are in a committed relationship may be the only points that I have in my favor. Any ideas on how to make things easier, or at least lessen the blow for them?
A: If I’m doing the math correctly and your oldest sister is 19 years your superior, then your mother had to have been fairly young when they were born. Since you don’t mention your mother’s age, let’s just say she was 20 when the oldest was born and a whopping 39 when you were born. Twenty is not too far from 18 when you’re both in college. Stress to her that you and she are not so different (if that’s a valid argument).As you said, you have the advantage of being in a committed relationship and being employed.If you want to bolster your stance, insist that the boyfriend propose. Showing your parents that he’s interested in doing the right thing may help soften the huge blow.Good luck.
