Anyone else’s nervous about telling family?

I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant. We’ve told his family but haven’t told mine yet. I’m really worried about telling them and don’t know how they’ll react. I haven’t known my partner long (8 months) so think that plays into it. My parents are very traditional and we aren’t married or living together. He is moving in in April though. We have a rocky relationship growing up but it is much better now. Anyone else going through the same or has any advice? My friends know and I was excited to tell them. Thanks :)

Show your support

I think if you’re excited that’s all that should matter. You can’t control how others will act in the moment but they will eventually come around and love your baby even if they don’t have the reaction you hope for in the moment. Hopefully it will be a great reaction!! Ultimately, this is your life journey :) be happy if that’s how you feel and don’t let anyone take that from you. Congrats on your new baby!

How old are you?

@Kirsty thank you x

@Chelsey 29 x

I’m 29 too, you’re almost 30 they shouldn’t care that you’re pregnant and even if they do, once a cute little baby is here no one will be mad 🙂

@Chelsey I really hope so! Thank you x

I’m experiencing the same kinda thing, we’ve told my family but not his. The reasoning behind not telling them is totally different tho. I think once the baby gets here they won’t be “mad” at you. Congratulations!!!!🎉

I’m sorry 😢 - I get that. Ultimately you have to do what feels right and it’s totally your decision. If you’re not comfortable letting them be a part of your new family, don’t feel like you have to. If it’s weighing on you by not telling them then rip the band aid and let them react however they might. Hopefully it’s in support of you but if it’s not, it’s not the end of the world. Sounds like you have supportive friends, and ultimately you and your baby will be okay.
