I need some advice. I got pregnant at 17 but it wasn't a mistake, I planned my pregnancy. I told my boyfriend I was on the pill but secretly wasn't. A couple months into the pregnancy, I told him I lied to him...he was mad but still loved me and our unborn child. Our baby is now 6 months and our very supportive families still don't know I planned the baby. Everyone loves our son sooo very much and my boyfriend and I couldn't picture life without him. I LOVE being a young mom, everything worked out perfectly!! Should I ever tell my family I planned the baby or just keep on living life the way it's been?? Any advice is appreciated!!

hi,

i have never been pregnant, but i wouldn't tell my family for now atleast. what if things would backfire and your family won't talk to you? i would wait until you can support yourself and your baby before you tell them, especially since it has only been a bit since they had the \"big change\" meaning their teenage daughter being pregnant, and then a mother. that is a tough decision!

i wish you the best and hope this was the answer you were looking for!

do what your heart feels right, I can understand your fear of jepordizing how well things are going for you but if you feel the need to tell them then you should. honestly I think the only people you need to tell are your boyfriend and your child when he gets older. I understand what you mean about planning it, I manage to convince my b/f to forgo the condom whenever possible and I don't know why. I thought I was pregnant a while back and was devastated to find out I wasn't but I didn't know why because it scared me, now I think I am pregnant again. I know my heart will be crushed if I find out I am not. I hope I helped at least some. If you do tell your family let me know what happens.

Why ruin a good thing? If your family don't know, it won't hurt them...

Perhaps you should tell the father however. Eventually it'll slip out one day, better sooner than later, and he is the other half of your child, doesn't he have a right to know that his baby is not an 'accident', but was rather wanted before it was conceived?

I don't understand why you wouldn't have already told them. Secrets suck. They bring you down. You will feel much better once you tell them. If they don't like it, they'll get over it. Just start by saying, \"It wasn't a mistake I got pregnant.\" They'll get the hint and then go from there. Love, Chanti
