I'm 17 and I've been going out with my boyfriend for almost 3 years.
We started having sex about 2 years ago.
I took a pregnancy test on Monday and it was positive. I took another one yesterday and it was positive aswell. So,I'm pregnant.
We’ve never had unprotected sex. always used a condom.
I told my boyfriend and he's states that he 100% supports me.
Theres no way I'll get rid of the baby as I don't concur with abortion under my circumstances.
I think I'm about 8 weeks gone but I'm not sure as my periods are always irregular.
I think that I would be a good mom.
Its not the ideal time in my life but I feel that I would cope well.
I don't know how to tell my parents.
and also I'm worried about what people will think and state.
I suppose I'm not the sterotypical teenage mother.
please help!
Thanks in advance

Answer:
At least your boyfriend stands by you which is good, you sound like youve made your mind up and are going ahead with your pregnancy so you need to make an appointment with your physician, they’ll need to know the first day of your last period to find out how far along you’re.. With regards to telling your parents they might be a little shocked at first but will come round in the end.. You have the support of your boyfriend and your parents will def be grateful of that and will worry less! Forget your age… young mums can make just as good mums as older ones.. Make sure you sit your parents down, with your boyfriend and say exactly what youve said on here.. you know it wasnt planned but youve thought long and hard of all your chioces and decided to go ahead and be a mummy.. they will be proud of you for making such a tough decision.. And dont forget… your parents will always be there for you no matter what…. Good luck x
Answer:
hey
i dunno exactly how you feel but my mate fell pregnant at 16 and she was bricking it so i promised while she told her mum i would be in the house not in the same room as her but there just in case all hell broke lose so just take a mate or you boyfriend and just tell her straight off if you’re going to keep the baby of course you can't keep it from her because she will find out if you don't witch might make it worse
good luck

Answer:
Tell your parents in the most honest manner you can.
And also marry your boyfriend. You might as well… it'll be healthier for the child in the long run to know that his/her parents are married and weren't just having sex for 'fun'… even if that's lying.
You don't want that same influence on the child when they get to your age.
Answer:
You tell your parents by saying “Hey, mother and father, can I speak to you for a minute?” And then you just tell them.
I’m not good at sugar coating things so I’ve to be blunt. You wanted to play grown up, and now you made yourself into any adult a little early. Now you have to act care about it. Tell your parents, and hold your head high if you get rude comments.
Answer:
Keep your head up and sit down with your parents and tell them.. There's no easier way to do it. I would pray and ask God to help you through this life changing situation. Everything really happens for a reason. Keep the faith.
Answer:
I was your age when I got pregnant the first time too and telling the parents is NOT simple. Just sit them down and tell them. There’s no way around it. Eventually they’ll find out. Good luck!
Answer:
that's good news for a start that ur boyfriend has said he’ll support you through this time, he sounds like one to keep hold of!, i'll say to you what my nan stated to me when i fell pregnant at 14, (may i just state i had sex once to “see what it was like” i didnt sleep around nore did i plan it) she said to me your not the first one certainly wont be the last! i was 15 when i had my daugher who is now 13, i wouldnt change her for the world, we have our moments as all kids and parents do lol, all in all i think i've done a very good job of raising her, she is polite well dressed does as she’s asked (after the 15th time of being asked!!) when i had to tell my mom i was pregnant i didnt know what to do lol so i sat her at the table and said i have got something to tell you, i told her that i'd had sex just one time with my boyfriend, (he was 18 by the way so he should have known superior!) and that i had missed a period so had done a test and it was positive, she looked very dissapointed in me, and just gave me a hug and said everything would be ok. all u can do is tell them as calmly as you can and on a day where preferably they’re not stressed from work or other kids or stuff like that!!,
good luck hope they take it well… and ideal wishes for you and your bofriend and baby in the future xx
Answer:
Hi, I think your attitude towards this is great and mature and your fella sounds great as well.
Tell your parents, they may be a bit shocked at first but they will support you.
A baby is great but there are hard times no matter what age you are and I don't think you will go into this with your eyes closed anyway.
Please do not worry about what other people think of you, you’re in a loving relationship and sound mature so - stuff them, it's none of their business.
Good luck and remember, please speak to your parents, have your fella with you if that would make you feel superior.
I’ve always said there are worse things your teenager could come home to tell you ie: cancer, aids, drugs etc.
Answer:
first of all theres never a right time to have a baby and you only being 17 doesnt make any difference, you sound like your going to be a perfect mum and daddy sounds like a decent fella to, so make sure you keep hold of him lol and as for what other people will state, it may bother you at first but you’ll soon learn to ignore them as you’ll have the ideal prize possible and become a very proud mummy, and dont stress yourself out about telling your parents, you are in a very stable relationship and im sure they’ll be happy for you both. good luck
