I'm 20, how do I tell my parents that I'm pregnant?

Question

Like I said, I'm 20 and 6 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I am beyond excited and happy about it but I am so nervous to tell my parents. I was raised in a very conservative household and was expected to wait till I was married to have sex. I don't know what to say or how to say it. I feel like I am going to be a disappointment to them. Any suggestions and or advice? I don't want to stress about this any longer.

Update: I told my parents last weekend. My mom cried and told me that she wished that she instilled better morals in me growing up and that this wasn't how she wanted my life to turn out. My dad on the other hand was shocked but told me that he was here to support me and the baby and prays for a healthy pregnancy. I think my dad is secretly happy but doesn't want to show it because my mom is so upset. But thank you everyone who commented on this post and encouraged me to just tell them.

Answer

Just pull off the band-aid
I got pregnant before marriage at 20 as well, literally on my 20th birthday I conceived haha. 
My dad was mad, my mom was surprised. But they saw that I was happy and that all in all, is is what I have always wanted. Once the baby came everyone was excited.

Answer

It will be a lot easier to tell them now than it would be to wait. 
They love you, they will love your child.

Answer

Tell them in person and make sure you tell them how excited you are! You don't need to be married to be a good parent. They might be very surprised and maybe a little disappointed at first, but hopefully they warm up to the idea of a grandkid quickly and are very excited too!
Good luck!

Where is the man?

Answer

I know it might sound scary but sit down with them when you all have a good half hour/hour spare and be honest with them. Tell them you're pregnant and you're excited about this. Be honest about all your feelings.

I got pregnant at 20, didn't tell my parents until I was 27 weeks because I was terrified of their reaction. Honestly keeping it hidden that long was a stupid mistake I regret. It made things worse and I wished I had just told them from the get go.

I had to write my dad a letter because I didn't know how to tell him. He never read it. I explained I was adult enough to have sex so I'm being adult enough to step up to the consequences of my actions. I would be raising my child with or without his consent/support and that's how it'll be.

Good luck Hun. We worry it'll be a bad reaction but you never know, they might just surprise you in a good way.

Answer

Just tell them. They're you're parents. They have to support you.

Answer

I gave my mom a coupon book telling her

Answer

They might be disappointed you didn't wait but in the end they are going to have a grandchild and I see that most times parents over look that and get excited about the new baby. I grew up in a small town and went to a very conservative church growing up. A couple of my friend got pregnant right after high school and everything turned out fine for them and the parents were very involved with the baby. I know it doesn't always work that way but hopefully the positivity gives you courage and your parents are happy in the end
