How do I update my parents that I'm pregnant?
Just take responsibility and come out with it. It's like a bandaid. Just do it nifty & painless.. the sting will go away. Source(s): 20 weeks with #2
The only point I will ask you is, are you trully happy that you are pregnant?
Children are indeed a blessing, but so is the ability to provide for one.
Often, young girls are more adjectives at such a young age. Not saying at all that you dont want to be a mom...but most of the time, girls your age are with the sole purpose choosing to keep the baby in hopes of keeping your boyfriend, fantasies something like marriage, etc..
Not everyone is pro-choice, and that is understandable. However, you really will want to take the time out to write down the pros AND cons and especilly know what you are getting yourself into at only 17.
The reason your parents may come across so strict is because well...if you had a teenage daughter, what would your response be if she told you she was pregnant?
Sometimes its not that parents dont want to be grandparents, but then again, they are almost done raising you, and presently they may become granparents a bit too soon then they were expecting.
98% of the time, when a women under the age of 21 get pregnant, her parents are usually the ones who mostly raise the baby (not that you wouldn't).
Its hard to say-so except, at 17, you will be missing out on so much, and may resent the fact at how young you had a infant so young--later on--which might enable you to try and make up for your "lost single life" in merely a few years.
This is only MY opinion, but if I were you, I would consider an untimely abortion (and I'm only for 1st trimestor abortions), but then again, it really depends on the person's personal beliefs. Unless YOU are 100% physically, emotionally, and financially READY to raise a newborn hands on, 24/7, then so be it.
However, know that having a newborn will not always bring a relationship closer. Many men that age especially is never wanting a huge responsibility, and most often doesn't even last or they establish to run away. And again, raising a child hands on far acceeds sending over a simple child support once a month--that usually is only satisfactory to pay for one bill.
If I were you, I'd ask your parents, "what's the worst thing you can envision about me".and if they say, "death, or losing you"..consequently perhaps "pregnant" wouldnt be so bad.
But do know that if they are mad, its one and only because us parents want the best for our children, which includes a happy independent, stable life..in which have a baby so young, is not easy to acquire.
Hope this helps..sorry for nagging..
