I just turned 19 and recently found out I am pregnant. My boyfriend and I are both full time college students and both of our parents had huge plans for us. We couldn't be any happier about this baby but neither of us know had to drop the news to the parents......any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
 
leave a pregnancy test out, so they find out, - i had no other way in telling them i was so scared, but they approached me about it, i just nodded my head & it was over
 
I also had my boyfriend tell my parents. We all sat down together but I couldn't come out with the words. You'll be surprised how supportive your parents may be. I thought my parents would be disappointed and look down on me forever, but they are still proud. And don't for a second think you have to give up on your dreams. If I can keep going to school, so can you. A baby will make you work that much harder - you will want to provide for him/her forever and in order to do that you need an education. Your parents WILL love this baby. Regardless of when he/she is born or how young you are, this is still their grandbaby. Good luck & congrats!
 
Just tell them that you have something to tell them. It wasnt planned but you couldnt be more happier about it. Then just go ahead and tell them that you are pregnant. Tell them that just because you are pregnant it doesnt mean that you are going to give up doing everything that you were going to do before you were pregnant. They might be mad but in the long run they will actually be happy about it.
 
There really isn't any certain way to do it. You just have to come out ans say it, make sure you let them know how happy you both are about it though.
 
Im 22....and when I found out I was pregnant I was very terrified to tell my parents..because like you said..they had big plans and im their baby girl...it was very hard for me to do..I actually think my boyfriend ended up coming out with it when we sat down to talk to them because I couldnt bring myself to say the words lol..but let me tell ya...their reaction wasnt the best but right now they are very happy and excited and can not wait until october when the baby is born.... you will be fine... might not get the reaction you want..but youll be surprised... =) goodluck and congrats!
