How did You tell you parents and parents-in-law that u was expecting?!

Hi yes i was the same, married house etc. I got my mum a birthday card to grandma and wrote in from bump of ...weeks. How silly it is being worried about our parents reaction it's not like we are dependent on them but still nerve wracking x

Also i think its abit different when it actually happens. I know a lot of parents that say they wont be happy but when it comes to it most are amazing and just remind them, they're gonna be grand parents. Usually hits the soft spot! Lol! X

I was 21 when i found out i was expecting and hadn't been with my partner that long. it was my dad i was scared to tell. I waited until i got my scan and gave both my parents (as they're seperated) framed scan pictures, kinda of eased the pressure as didn't really require words. Both were awesome about it! x

Awww thanks guys. was just wondering what ppl said thats all! Its only coz i am only 21, but prob just me going mad!! Only good thing is. my mum said if i was to ever get pregnant and still living at home-she wud kick me out lol. At least she cant do that!!!xxx

sooner you tell them the better. within reason like if you dont want to say anything til like the 3rd month dont but when i was pregnant it did cross my mind that i could tell the baby and the baby could then tell my dad... well didnt do that in the end phoned him up and just came out with it. he didnt speak to me for weeks after til my stepmum made him ring me up, he was the same all the times my sister has been pregnant though. my mum was fine she just rolled her eyes sighed and said "didnt you read anything i gave you bout contreception? the withdrawal method dont count you know!" x x

I was only 19 when i fell pregnant and was dreading telling my parents as my boyfriend was a complete waste of space. My mum wasnt happy but said she would support me, my dad told me to leave and only come back when the baby had gone. He didnt speak to me for about 5 months but now my son is nearly 10 and he is a proper nannie and bampies boy!! Im not pregnant yet (unfortunately) but i have been trying for 11 months and i was really worried about how i would break the news to my parents if / when it happens. My sister told my parents 2 months ago that she was pregnant and my mum asked me why i knew about the pregnancy before her. I told her that i knew as we had both been trying to concieve at the same time and she was jumping around like a lunatic!! She is very supportive and now knows my cycle better than i do. Cricket i dont half rant on lol. Anyway what im trying to say is just tell them, they may be shocked at 1st but im sure it will all work out fine. Your an adult and your settled and i think your mums reaction will suprise you.
Congratulations by the way xxx

OMG i told my mum straight away and she was fine however in the last week she has turned into a complete nightmare and on sat says she doesnt think i should take maternity leave in the current climate as my company might not like it and sack me!!! What planet does my mother live on!! What with my up and down hormones and her menopause i think i will be avoiding her for a while or else world war 3 will start!! My dad is over the moon btw!!! Good luck and just tell them you are an adult and if you get any negatives just try to ignore them!! ha ha Nicxxxx
