I am single, recently broken up with the father of my baby. We were actually supposed to get married in Sept, and in June I left him. We had continued to be sexually active with eachother after I left. I just recently found out I am pregnant, and now I have to tell both of our families. I am scared to tell them a.) that i was still sexually active with him and b.) that im preg w/his baby!! Im not upset that im pregnant, i just dont want to be a letdown to my family. I am open for any advice, good or bad! Thanks for your help!

It's understandable that you feel a little uneasy about the situation and your probably scared of your families reaction but d'ont stress what ever there reaction they'll get over it and they'll be there to suppport you and when your tummy statrs to get rounder you'll see how happy they are!

i can't say i understand what you mean because i don't but i can tell you that i have friends that have had the same thing happen and after telling her parents they were not so much disappointed as HAPPY! they were delighted to be grandparents. just don't worry about what negative things are said just focus on your new BABY! good luck

NO STRESS!

Now a days it doesn't matter! It sounds like you were in a relationship that just didn't work out. sometimes it is hard to cut all ties if you are in a relationship that was going to lead to marriage or was for a long time. Chin up- think about it- your going to be a mom- how exciting!!! Good luck to you!

PS. My parents always said to us kids, "please be married before you have a kid." and then my brother and his wife got pregnant before they got married. Now they tell my sister who is 28, "It's ok to have a kid if you not married. Give us more grandkids!"

Pleople change their minds and veiws- give them a chance before you get all worked up.

Look i cant tell you that i know how you feel because i dont but there is realy no reasson to be afraid even if you didnt want to tell them your big belly would rat you out so tell them and youll see that once they know they will be verry happy that a new life will soon be joining all your lives a baby is allways a blessing God will always be with you

Hey! You might get a lecture or two from your family, but I dont think it would be to much to worry about. I mean, whats done is done and they will accept that. Now if you and the daddy aren't going to get back together, then you will have to deal with child support and custody and all that stuff, but be happy you are pregnant, and congradulations!
