I hadn't thought about telling them all together. I think this would be the best option - to tell them all at once. I know I will start crying, and it will be emotional. and I think I will be better to do it ONCE, than three times. Thanks for your advice.

To be honest, I strongly suggest you tell your boyfriend first with you two alone.  

There's a possibility that he may want to tell his mother himself, and you would just have to tell your mother.  Also, if he decides not to tell your mother, he can be with you for support when you tell both your mother and his.

I love how you think you can go around popping out babies and expect your parents to take care of them.

LMAO! Slut!


She's a slut for wanting to enjoy intimacy with the man she loves?

I'm sure OP can handle herself. GTFO.,

You're not stupid..accidents happen. Just think...it could be worse...I would consider adoption. And also just call your boyfriend and tell him the news...tell you mom and his mom should find out on her own. Good luck! everything will be ok and if you want to raise your child yourself.

Everybody needs help at one point or another in life. And I never said I would have my mother take care of my son or daughter, I said I am sure she would HELP. You know, there are ALOT of mothers who would kick their daughters out. I was simply stating that my mother is not this kind. And another thing, you can go ahead and call me a slut - but unlike many other teenage mothers, or teens who are expecting, my boyfriend and I have something serious. 1 year and 3 months is not alot, but it is enough to know. We also have good grades, and high expectancies for out futures. AND jobs. So you can call me what you want, I am just doing what's best for ME, and asking for advice. Your harsh words are unnecessary. And I don't go around "popping out babies." My boyfriend and I did not have sex until we were together 9 months. So excuse me.

It all sounds fine and dandy until you see what it's like to go to school full time while working full time.  When do you have time for baby?  You need to look into going to school part time.  You can still graduate on time and all of that good stuff, but you'd have a bit more time for the little one.  Your child needs its parents to be with it more than just a few minutes before one of you passes out for the night.

As for telling everyone I suggest you tell your boyfriend before anyone else.  Not only may he want to tell his family rather than you, but he may not feel comfortable that you told everyone else at the same time you told him.

If he doesn't believe you or just kind of avoids you at first thats pretty much just as normal as any other reaction.

Just know that having a baby is HARD on you.  You WILL be tired and you WILL get frustrated, but it's all worth it.  It costs a lot of money, but if you're both working full time you will be able to pull through.  Especially if you stay with your mom for now.  Don't let any idiot tell you that just because you live with your mother, or his, that you're not taking care of this child.  In fact don't worry about what anyone says to offend you.  You will end up getting a lot of crap for it.  Be it looks or words.. it happens no matter how good of a parent you are...  Remember, you are young.

If you'd like you can PM me.  I'll try to help however I can.

I think you should tell your boyfriend before you tell the others. That way you and him can come up with a way to tell everyone, and you'll have him to lean on.

Maybe tell your boyfriend first - as he is the father. Then get his mum and your mum together; so you and your boyfriend can both tell them with one another?
That's how I'd do it. Then they'll pass the word on to siblings, etc., as long as it's okay with you?

you are young. you and your boyfriend have so much potential to have amazing lives. you probably feel like you're becoming an adult way too young. would you ever consider giving up the baby for adoption? a wonderful married couple who have been desperate for a baby for years, compared to a teenager who isn't nearly ready for the responsibilites that come with having a baby. which one would be better off with the baby?
just think about it.
