Telling my parents I’m pregnant today

I’m pregnant! First time, scared, anxious, over analyzing. Based on my last period, I might be due December 30. So I’ll be about five weeks along tomorrow. My first appointment is on the 23rd of may, and my 21st birthday is on the 15th! Lots going on.

My parents, mom especially is old fashioned. We’re really nervous to tell them, we know my mom may not take it well. So I decided that we will sit down, I’ll hand them a card, and I’ve prepared myself for any reaction the may have.

UPDATE: GUYS IT WENT SO WELL. We stalled for a while and eventually handed them the card. We planned on moving in to their house in July when our lease it up so I said something like “we want to tell you something and have you decide if you still want us living here..” my mom gave me a really odd look but I could tell she knew. As soon as I handed the card over, I start crying OF COURSE. I watched their faces so intently and once my dad got to the last line, I could tell he was trying not to burst with excitement. He was so happy. My mom smiled too which was something I never expected. I’m crying so they both come over and hug me, then go to hug my boyfriend. They say we have a lot to think about and plan for, but that we’ll be okay. And that of course they still want us to live there, my dad make a joke about how he should retire early to help😂 (he is due to retire in two years or so, so not totally out of the realm of possibility) so yes!! We breathed a huge sigh of relief, and my dad said “I don’t know why anyone could be mad about a baby, that’s your grandchild.”

Overall it could not have gone any better. Thank you everyone for all of your support and kind words!❤️
