Hi  Tracey

I guess it depends on the relationship, have you and your fella been i
a long term relationship, does he get on with your familiy etc

7 weeks is a pretty early time to share the news with anyone other the
the closest family members but remember the sooner you share the new
the better it will be for everyone. You need all the support you ca
get from those close to you when your pregnant and a bump isn;
something you can hide in the latter part of pregnanc

How you tell them will really depend on your answer to my firs
question

OK hun, well remember where we are if you want to chat, rant or let o
some steam

I can't believe your fella went mad, like it was your fault! Perhap
he'll calm down once he's had time for it to sink in to

Hi Tracey 2

I don't know if it helps, but I knew when I fell pg my DH's parents wouldn't
be pleased, and he dreaded telling them. In the end, I wrote to them, and
told them exactly what was going on - I couldn't phone as we weren't on
speaking terms. They read the letter, had time to deal with it in their own
way, and now can't wait to see their new Grand-daughter later this week.  I
think, since you are excited about the baby, you should present it to your
family as an optomistic thing. My little bro came home, walked in my parents
room and said - "You're going to be Grandparents again sooner than you
think!". They were shocked, but they too looked forward to another
grandchild, and looked upon it as being blessed with a new life, no matter
how early it was! I think if you're honest, have some plan as to what you
want to do, and you are happy to take care of this baby (even if it means
not having its dad about) then they will support you.

Good luck

Lucy x

Hi, I am also 6/7 weeks pregnant so feel free to email me and we can
chat!  This is my second child, but my first one the dad was not in the
picture all that much (long story) and although I did not live at home
I did struggle with telling my parents.  I found it best to just get it
over with and tell them, get the stress over with, they may be shocked
or upset at first but they will get over it quickly (at least I hope!)
and will hopefully be there to support you.  You can email me at
jrta2@hotmail.com if you would like because I am looking for friends
that are due the same time.
