So ever since i discovered i was pregnant, I have been trying to get the courage to tell my parents. Yes I'm a grown woman and a run my own life, and yes my parents love me but they are very old fashioned and im not married yet (i am engaged). I have a feeling my Parents will be dissapointed with me, and try to move the wedding date closer (the date is set for june). Not only am i afraid of their reaction but i just dont know how to bring the subject up and break it to them lightly they are pretty old after all, i dont want my daddy to have a heart attack lol. sorry this post is kind of everywhere. any advice would be great thanks guys!!!

I think you should just tell them belive me they probably will take it better than you think! I was in the exact same situation that you are now and my parents are the exact same way. When I told my mom she freaked at first just because she was afraid on how my dad would act but suprising enough he took it extremly well and then the were really happy and excited to be grandparents. Now they just adore my son and wouldnt know what to do without him!

Just Do It!!

It really isn't going to be as bad as you think it is, promise.
Ever seen Knocked Up? Where the girl and the guy have a one night stand and she gets pregnant and its all this big disastrous albeit funny adventure?
Welcome to my world. I am the Katherine Heigl in this one. Except, much to my chagrin there is no Seth Rogan, real or alternative, in my life. My one night stand left the day after said event to go home to his home... halfway across the world... in Austrailia. There was protection, but sometimes things work in mysterious ways!
Now, that you know the baby backstory, let's flash ahead to a couple weeks later. I am literally hours late, and I KNOW what's up. I just had a funny feeling, ya know? This was on a Friday night. I couldn't do anything until the lab opened on Monday. The longest weekend ever.
I go in, I find out, I freak out. How The Hell am I supposed to tell my raised a staunch catholic stepfather?! A man who hates me even at legal age being out past midnight! How is my mom going to take it?! I am twenty two years old and single and I live at home and I have bills to pay and OMG what am I ever going to do?!?!?!
I tell my mother first. She is ELATED. She phones stepdad immediately... He can't believe it! And not in a bad way either! By the time a ten minute phone conversation was up, they had already picked out colors for the nursery they were putting into their house. (A room, I might add, they renovated entirely, top to bottom specifically for this purpose.) By the time the third trimester was done, the crib, dresser, and change table were in the room, and there was already talk of 'when the baby comes.' They were AMAZING when it came to the whole process, I wasn't allowed to lift a finger, and shopping trips were interesting to say the least.. they supported all my cravings lol.
Now, baby is twenty five days from due, and they couldn't be happier. This will be the first grandchild for both and to be honest I never seen them taking it as well as they did. Yet, here we are, and I couldn't have designed better parents for the role!

So, don't worry, chances are they will be thrilled, even if you think they are really obscenely old fashioned.

Well, I can totally understand how you feel right now. But you just gotta do it. In my case, it was difficult too, but im glad i did it.

Before I went on the trip to visit my boyfriend in another state, my parents were so nervous and they kept telling me to be careful. But guess life is just full of surprises. I got pregnant, while i was half way through my last quarter in college.

I called up my dad, and I said there is a good news and a bad news. He asked me what the good news was, and I said I got a baby. Then with a very disappointing and sad voice, he said "how is that a good news? it's definitely a bad news." Then later, my dad discussed it my mom, and they both suggested me to have abortion. I could totally understand how they felt, they felt betrayed, by their one and only child.

My parents and I immigrated to the US from China about 8 years ago. (You can imagine how traditional-minded they are.) We have gone through a lot of hardships together, and we used to be very close. But after I went off to college, they often felt distant from me. Now they feel even more distant when they have learned that I am pregnant with an Irish guy, whom they have big language problems with and never even met before. However, I insisted keeping this baby. And I told them that I just couldn't do it, it will be a big regret in my life if i give up this kid.

A few weeks later, my dad called me up when he was at the airport, about to fly back to China. He told me that he wants to support me on my decision. He said when my mom was pregnant with me, some doctors told her to abort me because she was having some skin rashes, which might suggest that the baby was defected. Because of the one-child policy in China, the doctors advised them to give up on me and have another "good" baby since they could only have one. However, both of my parents couldn't let go of me, and they decided to let me come to this world. And it turned out that I was a healthy good one, who also brought a lot of joy to them.

So now I am 6 months along, and of course, there are also a lot of other issues going on in my life. But my parents are giving me 100% support, although they still nag about things sometimes. Anyways, here is my story. I think parents love you after all, and they will do whatever they can to make sure that you are happy. So don't think too much, just do it.

I told them today,
they didnt take it so well at first but i think they will come around eventually. My Mom seems to be taking it better than my father though, im a bit worried about him
