Young mums under 16!.. how did your parents react?

right...

i was 15 when i found out (just turned 17 and have an 8 month old)

i was going to tell my parents in person but i got to scared so i went out with my friends and sent my mam a text saying 'mam i have something to tell you, im pregnant and scared im so sorry please dont get angry i need help i love you'

i turned my phone off and waited a few hours and went home.

waiting a few hours give her time to calm dowm, think and tell my dad.

they was upset, disappointed and angry at me.

i hated that i dont that to them.

it took them a little while to adjust but not long after they were really happy about it, couldnt wait, feeling my bump etc...

the sooner the better.

i told my parents the day before my 16th birthday party so they were a bit more angry at me for that.

you will be fine once they have come round to the idea for it all.

i hope all goes well and dont leave it to long to tell them!

If you want the baby, then tell your mum straight away. Youll feel so much better and she can help you with things. Theres no point holding back as things might get worse. She will give you the best advice as mums do. And just sit her down, and tell her, just say something like,

i know you might not be too please but im pregnant.

My mate got pregnant at sixteen, and thats how she decided to tell her mum. Her mum didnt go mad or shout or anything, she just told her what she thinks she should do.

If i was you though your really young atm and you wont have a good chance of doing what teenagers do best at 18 19 which is clubbin going on holiday.

Its alot of responcebility, and you need to make sure that you are fully aware of what you need to do and provide for a child.

My friend had an abortion and although she was very upset at the time she is glad she did what she did now. We are both 20 atm and we are going abroad alot doing what us girls do best.

But as you know most people are different. Its completely your choice whether or not you have a baby. But mums know best so listen to your mum she will be able to help you alot so really do make sure you tell her chick.

all the best hun ♥

Yes

My cousin found out she was pregnant when she had just turned 15. she found it hard to tell anyone, me and her are close, but she still found it hard to tell me incase i thought less of her. I kinda guessed though when i found a baby name book under her pillow once staying over at hers! She told me how far gone she was and i made her tel her mum and dad. They where very disapointed but she's due in a few weeks time and their very proud that shes carried on with her education and going onto college next year.

Heya

Well all my sister have had kids by the age of 17 and im currently 17 and pregnant .

My 3 sisters that live ages away got pregnant at 15 , 16 ,17. My dad was not happy but he couldnt say anything because there idiot of a mum had been letting their boyfriends sleep over sinse the age of about 12 and their mum was happy for them.

My other sister whom lives with me is 14 and 28 weeks pregnant , at first my mum wanted her to get an abortion and chucked her out , 2 minutes later my mum chased her down the street , gave her the biggest hug ever and told her to keep the baby.

Im 17 and dont live with my parents , i live with my boyfriend. My mum was happy for me because i had been trying for one for 3 months and we are in a good position. she knows its what i wanted. She also knows that when i was in school (16) my boyfriend wanted me to have a baby but i said NO. Wait until im out of school and she respects me no end for that. =] xxx

Sit them down with the father or if your not with him anymore, get a best friend to sit down with ya, so you dont feel so nervous.

Just tell them the truth, they will find out sooner or later...better sooner than later id say.

Just be like 'mum, dad ive got something to tell ya'

Obvious there gna be abit angry and dissappointed at first but they will get over that and become supportive for your decisions.

Good luck babe xx

i got pregnant at 16 and told my mum the day i found out, i was soooo scared but when i told her she gave me a cuddle and we talked and she said it was up to me what i wanted to to do. i now have a beautiful 4 1/2 year old girl. hopen u get the support u want n need x good luck

As a parent of a teenager who got pregnant under 16 all i did was told her she was a bloody fool and should have known better and not tell her the wrongs and rights of what she had done. My generation forget that we had unprotected sex at your age to, tell your Dad to welcome the baby he's going to be a grandad and be pleased that he is

I am not pregnant, nor have I ever been. But I am here to help you, and I think that this website will give you advice and help on how to tell your parents. Good Luck and Take Care. =)
