On my previous discussion, it was about what age someone got pregnant. Now, it is about how our parents reacted when they first knew our situation. On my part, i told my sister first the she told my mom and my mom told my dad. i was scared of what they will do to me at that time because i was only 19. at first, they were very disappointed of me and there was somewhat i called 'a silent world' between me and my dad because we were not talking anymore, it was like he didnt want to see me but later on, he did accept me....being pregnant.

Hi Shaunken, I am a traditional girl that I will not let that kinds of things happen without the garantee of marriage. If I am pregnant at a very young, saying 19 years' old, my mum will be mad at it. I am a nice girl that my mum always leture my sister and me not to stay the night lonely with a boy, and we take that advice just for protecting ourselves. The age of 19 is not mature if she is pregnant, no economy source at least after the baby comes out of the world. The age of 19 is not old enough to take the mum's responsibility. Have a nice day.

Well I was 18 when I got pregnant with my first son. I was 19 when I had him. I didnt hide it from my parents I went right to them and told them. I thought they would be mad or dissapointed in me but my mom jumped of the couch, screamed, hugged me sooo hard I thought I would pass out. So they were very excited for there first grandson. It made it much easier on me that they were ok with the whole thing. I did have a boyfriend and he said he would take care of us. Here we are 8 years later still together and we have 2 wonderfull boys! ~May The Kisses Of An Angel Cover And Protect You Always!~ Copper

Well, I'm still young so I'm not pregnant...yet =). Just kidding. But I know how my parents would react if they found out I was pregnant at a young age. Well, their SUPER protective and have high standards, so they would flip out at first. You know, yell, scream, rant, all that stuff for a couple of days. Then, we would start to grow distant, maybe for a week. I would have an immediate abortion (we're athiest, so abortion is ok for us) and I would be grounded for the rest of my life. But I'm glad you parents accepted the fact that you were pregnant. I bet my parents would too, but still be disappointed in me.

My family is very traditional. All of us feeled have baby is the thing after married. I'm 21 now, but I have no boyfriend ,becouse I'm still a student. I think love happened have better become in the work time .That time, we have money and the right thinking, we become mature enlough to welcome a family and a baby for ourselves .But in the young age,we can't take care of ourselves but how can we raise another child . But ,love is a beautiful ,if you have a man that you love him than your life ,have a baby with him is a brave thing .Your parents will love the baby like love you afterdays .I holp that you will happy ~

I was 22 when I was pregnant with my daughter. My mother wasn't really happy with me about it because I wasn't married at the time. However, on the other side of things she was excited to get to be a grandmother for the first time. She went to many of my doctor's appointments with me and along with myself and my boyfriend, she was the first person to know that I was going to be having a little girl. I was surprised about her initial reaction, but I really like how things turned out.

pregnant girl - a girl is pregnant at a very young age.
It is really unbelievable that a young girl get pregnant at only 19 years old. In my country, it is next to impossible for young girls to be pregant when they are just less than 20 years old. You see, in my country, China, most people are very conservative and they may not accept the reality if their daughters get pregnant at such a low age. If parents meet such a bad situation, then they may become very very angry and disapointed of their daughter. It is not allowed completely in my country to addept such a situation.

I to was 19 when I got pregnant. My dad had already passed on at this time so no response from him. My Mom on the other hand was shocked, she really didn't know how to react. For the first week or so she stayed distant. I think she got over it quickly and Grandma mode kicked in.
