You should tell your parents now. Good luck !
If your parents love you then you can freely walk up to them and tell them anything like anything you did wrong, anything you accomplished, anything, anything! Don’t be scared to tell your parents. They are allowed to be upset but if they love you they will never punish you, never throw you out, never anything bad.. they will have to be supportive of you& your decisions. Again, let them be upset it’s normal! They tried their best to protect you and raise you right but be assertive and don’t let nobody tell you what to do! You got this! I’m sorry you are pregnant but congratulations!! You are brave already! 💜
Example: tell them there is a family emergency meeting. You know they will be upset but you want to tell them something important… you got it! I trust you! I know it’s hard because you don’t know how much your parents truly love you or not but.. your energy shows they do love you!! So you got it!!
Are you able to go to your boyfriends as a back up plan if things don’t go well? That may be something the check first. Or just at least make sure you have somewhere you can stay. Good luck x
Aww congrats lovely 💗 I’m sure if your parents really love u they will accept the fact that ur pregnant im sure they will love being grandparents ☺️
Congratulations on your new baby! The journey is tough but amazing and so rewarding when you hold that beautiful piece of you. If you know you have a place in case they kick you out, then there is no worst outcome right now. I think every parent’s brain shifts over after you tell them and it may take minutes or a day or two, but it happens. You will look back and think how silly you held on for so long. Look, dig down deep, this is a very new and scary time and express to her how much you need your mommy right now. It’s confusing and your body is changing and what person would know how to help you learn but your own mother.
Have u been receiving prenatal care for your baby if not your putting yourself and baby in a dangerous position also I was 17 and pregnant the sooner u tell them the faster they have time to get over if they love u they will took my mom and dad about a week and a half to accept what was happening and that was that
@Mashailah I think she in the beginning stages where she found out. They usually won’t take you in for about a month.. although it took me to get to my appointment in a week or two weeks after taking a test with them. Otherwise I would have waited more months to be taken in
Heyyy I’m also 17 and pregnant 28 weeks I think you should tell your parents I had strict parents to but if you wait till birth they would be very upset to miss so much already I thought my family would kill me but in the long run they help me so much they showed me love that they never showed
@Lisa she’s 20 weeks. Ideally she should’ve had 2 midwife appointments and 2 scans by now
@Adelle its 6am I was feeding baby already tired and being helpful. I didn’t read the details. As tired as I am yes assuming she just found out. I didn’t find out until 6-7months lol. I guess it counts regardless if she in the beginning stages of pregnancy or the stage where she found out.
@Lisa alright, I was just making you aware.
Tell your parents now
@Adelle yes, I know. My offspring is adopted.. but I still have 3beautiful babies. Sometimes wish I had all four. I found out when I was 6-7months pregnant. I was 8months when I had my first appointment and all was good and I gave birth with no issues. They did an ultrasound and I was good thankfully. I carried small and I was not paying attention to my cycles so I assumed they were on time. I eventually noticed and since then I keep track. But my cycles were also irregular at the time when I wasn’t taking care of myself so my hormones were unbalanced.

I had my first child as teen congratulations wish you luck Learn about labor & postpartum as much as you can and your life isn’t over you have to fill your cup to fill the babies so don’t believe people when they say your life is over and it’s no longer about you
Hello I also found out that I’m pregnant with 16 in week 19, so I didnt have the choice if or if not to keep it. I’m so glad I kept him now he’s the sun of my whole family. I was very afraid of telling my mom, but after I found out I said ok two weeks and then I will tell her. I read somewhere that stress isn’t good for the baby and mother so I wanted to get rid of the stress of keeping such a secret to myself. Of course she was furious but after a while she warmed up to me, we thought about what I would need and now she’s in love with him. He’s the best boy and my whole family accepted him. So don’t worry, the start will be hard but if you have ur bf family as support system that’s very good. Be strong, it will definitely be worth it!!!!
I definitely know the feeling i am also 17 and 25 weeks
i’m 17 with a 1 yo and i’m also 15 weeks pregnant 😆 congratulations on your new journey in life 🥹 i know it’s hard, and it’s definitely very scary telling your parents but eventually, you’ll have to sooner or later. my mom was very iffy in the beginning, but after a bit she warmed up. i do understand it’s very scary and this is a new part of life you have to go through. but that precious little baby will be so loved 💕 congratulations new mama!!
My cousin got pregnant and literally did not tell a soul until after baby was born. Her parents are super judgmental and are nose in the air type of people. They resent her still for not telling them (even though I don’t blame her one bit due to how judgmental they are and it’s totally on them) and her baby is 3 now. I’d feel it out. Weigh the pros and cons but I’d encourage you to tell them. They will have to find out sooner or later anyway. But if you think it’s going to cause you a ton of stress, prepare yourself for that and figure out the best way to tell them. Maybe write a letter and leave it in a visible place so they can read it when you’re not in the house, so they have time to think before they see you when you get back.
Congratulations ❤️. I'm glad to hear that you decided to keep your bundle of joy.
