I was in a very similar position as you when I was pregnant. I was so worried about my church and my family and thought they would shun me. When I told them everyone was super supportive and my church members were extremely nonjudgemnetal about the situation. I am able to finish college now and everyone at church and in my family constantly wants to babysit. I really hope things work out because I remember how hard it was for me before I told my family. If you need to talk about any of it let me know!!!

just5 tell your mom you love her by doing little things to show her you do. like ask her to have a girls nite out or go shopping with her...but try not to push the baby thing

Well I told my parents today that I was expecting and it went really well. I know my dad is going to be very supportive. My mom didn't look at me or talk to me the whole time, but I know its going to take awhile before she gets use to the idea that this is happening if she likes it or not.

Just let them know the truth from the start, the church doesn't have to know ur personal business. There are too many backstabbing people in church that call themselves christians. I had to deal had to deal with one. she had the nerve to call my aunt and tell her she don't appreciate babies being born out of wedlock. this is a matter for you and your family. you should worry about what anyone else thinks. your parents will be mad at first but trust me when i say this they probably going to be happier than you are. my family doesn't know who my baby father. but he'll be meeting with my sister today. I believe this was a blessing from god. whether are not the father is around you and your child will be ok. I should know

I'm 24 and found out I was pregnant with a guy that I was dating two weeks when I conceived. It was the worse feeling on earth but I told everyone and that was back in Feb when I told them. Since then the dad left me about 2 weeks ago and my family is pretty much supporting me but not at the same time. I just can say if they don't support you just remember its not about them its you and the baby and no matter what God loves you. Fortunately, I have my dad looking down on me everyday and that gets me through and my due date is really close to his bday and I hope I can hold out till November 3, I'm due Oct 24... Keep positive!!!

I am about 4 yrs older. My parents very strong in there christian faith. I knew my mother would support any decison I made. However, it all boils down to it is your life. Your parents will always love you and most of the time once the child is born; they become involved.

I prayed and read the word for weeks for peace. Honesty is the best policy.

I think that god put this baby in your life for a reason . Yes your parents will be shocked but when it comes down to it if your truthful and honest with them as you are with yourself they will be a great support system for you to have. people can speculate on anything so if you hear whispers don't assume its about you. And also you never know everyone might shock you and be supportive from the start. God never gives us anything that we can't handle. on your pregnancy by the way !!! another angel is making its way to earth

So I was raised in a Christian home. My dad is is a pastor and I just found out I'm pregnant. The bd was a onenight stand and doesn't know yet. I'm 23 and will be able to finish college in decemeber but my biggest worry is how my parents are going to react. I know they love me but they are going to freak. Especially since I'm not with the bd and I don't want to be. I'm also worried everyone at our church is going to assume the bd is my ex-boyfriend who also attends my church. I'm confused and trapped right now.
