Why am I so nervous to tell parents?

tovachava · January 2009

I am freaking out. We're telling this morning (via phone). I just kind of wish I could keep it to myself. anyone else?

lol, because it's finally admitting to your father that you're not a virgin?

If you want to keep it secret for now, go for it. It is up to you and your SO!

Keep it to yourself for a few more weeks!

I was nervous to tell my parents because I didn't want them to know I was having sex. LOL. Even though I was married....

The only nausea I've felt so far was because of waiting to tell our parents when they were all in the same room. It was exciting, but I did say to DH that it was nice to have just the two of us know for a while. That's why we didn't really start to tell others until this week and next, because then everything is open to questions, etc. I kind of wanted to wait until co-workers just started to notice my bump! Good luck.

Because it's weird to infer to your parents that you and DH had lots of sex and now you're having a baby because of it. Also, for years and years as a teenager you were trying to keep from getting pregnant.. Sometimes it's a little weird to get into the "It's OK and totally acceptable and a wonderful thing that I'm pregnant" state of mind..

Do you think they may not approve? Like they think it's a bad time for you and DH to have a baby.

I am not as scared to tell my in laws as I am my mom.

Especially since dh and I have been together since we were 18 (now we're 30). Maybe it is the sex thing. Dh is telling his parens first while I hide under the blanket. Embarrassed

Oh no, they'll approve. we're in a fine place for a baby. I kind of felt the same way when we told them we were engaged. I think sometimes I forget I'm that I'm not 17 anymore.

I know what you mean. I was nervous to tell them we were engaged as well!

I remember my brother explaining to me why my father was crying so much on my wedding day...."Because now he's sure, and everyone knows, that you've had sex."
