Some of these conversations are really tough...
Grounded … For A Different Reason
I skipped school that day and went for a blood test to verify the result of the home test. After that I went home and my mother asked me why I wasn’t in school. I told her that I needed to talk to her about something. She said “I know your pregnant. I found the test. That doesn’t mean I’m going to let you get away with skipping school”. So I was 17 years old, pregnant with my own child, and grounded for a month. (Future_Cat_Horder)
Do You Smell That?

It looks like I’ve got a bun in the oven” (carolnuts)
Confessions Over Dinner
I told my parents over dinner that night, my dad was silent but my mom freaked out saying that I wasn’t pregnant and she wouldn’t believe it until a doctor said so. I was a typical good kid before this, I was in advanced classes, never got in trouble, and wasn’t a party-er so my parents were pretty shocked. My dad ended up coming to me later in the evening and saying that no matter what they love and support me, my mom settled down and told me the same the next day.
My mom scheduled me an appointment with her gyno two days after telling them and to add to the surprise I was so far along (4.5 months) that I was able to find out the sex of the baby. One of the more stressful moments of my life but it has all turned out well, I’m lucky to have a supportive family. (rad1991)
