Advice?

Question

Hi so I'm 17 years old and I just recently found out that I'm pregnant.. I want to keep the baby and I'm nervous to tell my family. I'm scared of what people are going to think of me. Any advice? I'm scared, nervous, and don't know what to do. I'm gonna start my senior year in a few weeks and already stressing out. How do I tell the father and my parents? Any advice..

Answer

People are going to think that you had sex and got pregnant. Plenty of people your age are having sex so it really isn't a big deal to your peers. They will more so be relieved that it wasn't them. You can keep the baby and still go through with all the schooling that you want to. Work hard until the baby comes and once the baby comes work hard to care for it and yourself

Answer

I told my parents over text. It was a lot easier for me. That way if my mom took it negatively, she'd have time to calm down and do what she had to do. 
Luckily she took it well and automatically started trying to problem solve xD figure out what we would be doing. 
We haven't told my father yet as he's getting married August 20th and we're not gonna stress them out more than we have to xD 
My moms told my aunt and my grandmother on her side, my aunt has acted like nothing going on, my grandmother just said she'd be there for me.

Honestly, do what makes you the most comfortable. 
I'm 17 and having a child. I'm planning on doing a mix of homeschooling and online courses to finish. (I'm due mid February)

Honestly, your parents and family might be disappointed, but they should support you and help you figure out what to do when it comes to school and stuff. 
It's going to be hard as all hell, every decision you make has to be based off of your baby. 
But this child will be not only be the  gardener thing you'll ever have to do, but the most rewarding thing.

Answer

Totally be open and honest that's what I would do if I were in your shoes. But I also have an open relationship with my mom and boyfriend. I hope he will be with you and help you get through  this. I would tell your boyfriend first. You are 17 after all you make your choices no one else can.

Answer

You can do it! It's not impossible, but it's going to be hard. You've just got to be 100 percent honest. Sit them down and tell them that you're pregnant, you realize that you're young but you're going to deal with the consequences of having sex. And that you intend to raise the child no matter what it takes. Good luck sweetie.
