Today I found out I was pregnant

my husband and I are 24-25 and have our little boy who just turned 9 months. I took a pregnancy test and it said I'm 2-3 weeks pregnant. I'm terrified yet so happy all at the same time. We both wanted another but the kicker is we live with my parents and I think they are going to kill me. I'm so happy I just want them to celebrate when they find out but I know they won't and that's a sucky feeling. Surprising my hubby after work with the test in a gift box. I just need some support telling my parents

Re: Today I found out I was pregnant

  • I was really nervous to tell my parents (esp. my father) when I was pregnant with DD#2 because he watches my kids, and I wasn't sure how he would react to two / could he watch two. Maybe have your husband with you when you tell them. Also, don't go into the discussion afraid or apologetic. Be happy and enthusiastic and it will probably rub off.

  • First off congratulations! How exciting for you. Do you have a plan for getting out of your parents and into your own place? I just can't imagine how stressful it will be on you to be living with your parents and have them be unhappy. And how many kids should be between you and your DH, which is hard when you're at home with mom and dad. I don't know about you, but I've never been able to outgrow getting in trouble with my mom (or grandma for that matter). Have your DH with you for support when you tell them and have a plan in place to address any concerns they might have. 

    I second the above poster, don't apologize for getting pregnant, you have nothing to apologize for, you're an adult. 
  • Awww congrats!! Don't let them ruin the joy of a new baby. They will come around if they are disappointed. 
  • Every baby is a blessing!! Congrats!!
  • Yay!!! Congrat!
  • I know the feeling all too well.  We stayed my mom and step dad while we looked for a house.  We ended up staying there for 3 years and in that time had 2 kids.  We were trying so it wasn't a surprise to us but it was to them.  The hardest part will be telling them.  What is your end goal to move out of there?  Remind them you won't be there forever.  And talk about how lucky they are and the baby is to have a special bond.  In 5 years they will look back and wish you all still lived there and all they will remember are the giggles, cuddles and milestones.  You got this!
