Hi cyber space
I'm 15 and pregnant I didn't want to have sex or anything like that it was just wow and it happend, trust me I'm the first in my family to ever be prego at this age! I come from an awesome very normal upper middle class family, my mom passed when I was 13 but I have such a supportive family its kind of okay, so I'm okay as far as the family situation goes. Me and my cousin are literally sisters I love her so much and her and boyfriend are in town and everyone is joking and making fun of teen pregnancy and here I sit 3 months prego just laughing pretending like its funny. Her boyfriend is suspicous or so I think because i wear very peasant maternity looking clothes. My cousin would be the first person I'd tell please help I don't know what to say!

okay do you instant message with her? well if you do just type "i'm pregnant" that's it see what her response is. Than you can move on from there

Just come straight out and tell them, to get it over quickly. My advice would be to tell them via phone or email--I know that it seems really awful and impersonal, but that way you can just get an idea of their reactions before actually having to see your family in person. I'm sure they'll be happy for you though, so just ask if you can talk to them one day after dinner or something, and just say "I'm going to be a mom," or something. Good luck!

I am 16 and am pregnant. I told my mom by sitting her down to dinner and just talking to her(in a busy restaurant). It worked. She was surprisingly calm and didn't make a scene. Maybe you should take your cousin out to a busy restaurant. Just an idea!!

I'm now an adult and married and expecting our first child....but when I was 15 I too got pregnant. Telling my family, especially my father was the hardest thing I ever had to do. They didn't yell or make a scene, but I think the disappointment I saw in their eyes was far worse than any yelling match we could have had. But, as bad as it was, after about a month of neither of my parents speaking to me I was sitting at the kitchen table one morning, and my dad finally came up to me, put his hand under my chin to raise my face, and said to me, "You can't walk around staring at your feet forever." Only a month later and that was my dad's way of saying he forgave me and it would be ok (he wasn't ever very good with us girls). I miscarried the baby about two months after that, but that moment with my dad has never left my mind. You're family will love you, support you, and help you through this no matter the outcome. Just be honest and as calm as you can be when you tell them, don't wait.

I agree with xpecting. Your family will love and support you. it will be hard and they will be dissappointed, but it would be better to do it now than 3 months from now. It will only get harder.
