returned from college at 3pm and mum and dad got home 3.30 told them the news my mum cried and my dad walked outside. i was crying my boyfriend was crying. my mum told me that she would stand by me with whatever decision i make. i left my dad to cool down a bit and he told me he was in shock as i was his baby and he couldnt beleive i would be having a baby of my own, he then held me in his arms and we both cried. im glad iv got it out in the open but i still cant beleive my life is going to be over in 9 months, its so scary, my boyfriend works full time but i go to college and only have a saturday job at the bakers, i dont no how we will cope, or where we will live. my boyfriend (19) was thinking of moving into his own flat (before we found out that i was pregnant) now he doesnt no if we will be able to afford. thanks for giving me courage to tell my parents all the best to all of you.

Awww Im so glad your parents have reacted so well. Yes its gonna be a scary 9 months (it was at my age of 32 as well) but you seem to be a responsible and mature young lady and you have supportive parents. Please dont give up on your goals, try and continue to study / work and build yourselves a future together


I wish you all the best.

You've been really brave so far kerry-ann and incredibly mature. I don't know if i'd have been able to show the strength you have if it happened to me at your age.


These things have a way of working themselves out so try not to worry - you have lots of love and support from your family and your boyfriend, not to mention us lot on here.


Sending big hugs!

Well done kerry-ann, I had my first son at 17, but I never told my parents (family probs, mum depressed, didn't want to make things worse!!!) till I was in labour, luckily the baby was fine, can't say it wasn't a struggle but things worked out in the end Good luck.x.

Hi Kerry-ann, couldn't have been easy to do but you're not the first and you won't be the last and it sounds like you have a great deal of support behind you. You're very lucky!


Please don't think your life will be over in 9 months!! In 9 months you will have one of the most special things you could ever wish to have! Yes life will be different to how you imagined it to be and it will be hard but you can still achieve everything you want to, you'll just need to work harder to get there. If you want it enough, you'll manage.


Best of luck to you and your boyfriend and I wish you every happiness, as scary as this may seem, its also a wonderful time. Enjoy it!!

you seem like a lovely person, and very mature and level - headed. i'm glad you've told your parents and have got their support. i wish you all the best for your pregnancy. xXXx
Good luck to you sweet heart, i can understand your dads feelings, my daughter is34, she has twins of her own, they were born by ivf, but even then i thought, my baby is not a baby anymore, its just because he loves you, best wishes to you.
Ah petal, that's good. I'm sure your life wont be "over" - you seem like a smart enough person to come and ask for advice when you need it, and I think the fact that your parents are standing by you (and you bloke too) will be a huge help. My friend is due soon, but she's working right up until 2 weeks before her due date, so you've plenty of time to work and save up the pennies ;)

best of luck to your new wee family xxxx

Hey kerry-ann - I am so pleased you have got this hurdle out of the way sweetheart!


You will be fine, honestly. It is a big step, but you are obviously more than mature enough to deal with it, and your family will stand by you, now that the initial shock is over.


Stay in touch - we are all here for you, always.
