How did your family react?

This is one thing so many girls who have just found out they are pregnant are scared of doing: telling the family. Some parents react in a completely unexpected way which puts yourself in shock.

How did your family react?

  • Heyy, Tbh my family weren't bad and i thought i had the strictest parents especially my mother!
    I told my dad who i was living with at the time and he burst out crying cos he was so happy but pi**ed off with me at the same time, I then told my mum and it took her longer to get used to the idea as she really didn't like who the father is , but now im 29 weeks and i am now living back with my mum again - she really is amazing.
    So tbh without my family i wouldn't of been able to cope this far in my pregnancy on my own.
    :D xx

  • yeh everyone was horrible to me my mum cried and i dint tell my dad till i was 20weeks gone n i got kicked out at midnight but i was lucky my partner/boyfiend was really good to me my friends were idiots but i suppose im really unlucky my family are all really good now but they made horrible judgements on me as a person and i think thats where my strength came from is to trust yourself and be your own fan and anyone else who supports you is a bonus things allways get easier in time and no one stays mad forever trust me i thought my dad would do but when he saw his beautiful granson i even think there was a tear in his eye best thing to do is reassure people your strong enough to do this and no matter what anyone ses or thinks this is your life to live not theres xx

  • i had a siminliar experience to @STEPHANIEZKM everyone was a complete dick to me!! was accused of all sorts! I was 28weeks pregnant when my parents n the bfs parents found out. They were all nasty!! I was thrown out when i was 7months pregnant, me n my parents fought BADLY but they took me back in cuz no one else would take me :'(. I was accused of plannin my pregnancy, i was told i would be a crap mum n my daughter wouldnt have a great life, they said i was bored n did it for attention. ALL complete bollox! i got pregnant on the pill n despite what everyone said i love my daughter more than anything n NOTHING will ever change that! I may not be able to continue my education right now n my life has changed forever, but its changed for the better!! I love her soo much she brings tears to my eyes when she smiles at me. Everything people said doesnt matter to me anymore (it hurts when i really think bout it) i have more important things to concentrate on n im proud to be a mummy to my beautiful amazing daughter!! xx
