About a month ago I found out that my boyfriend's mom is pregnant! :) I'm so overjoyed, as is everyone else. At first it was a little secret, so I couldn't tell anyone. My boyfriend finally asked his mom if he could spread the word and she gave him the a-okay. This happened a week ago. I'm no longer happy. Everytime I try to tell my parents she's pregnant I feel sick. Not disgusted, literally sick to my stomach. I also feel embarrassed and ashamed and a bit hateful. Not at all hateful towards the baby or his mom but me. I chicken out. Now my boyfiends starting to get a little annoyed with me, as you can imagine. Just writing this makes me feel sick. WHAT SHOULD I DO?! Please, any advice would help Thanks. 13/F

adults getting pregnant is very common, its sort of what adults do when they want kids.
isis answered Sunday November 19 2006, 12:38 pm: You've just had the realisation hit you that your boyfriends mum is a sexual being with all that that entails. That then transfers to your own parents, which is a difficult concept for most people to grasp, worse when you're just starting to develop in that direction yourself.
You have a lot of emotions whirling around in your head and it's difficult to deal with. Feeling bad about the way you've reacted is not surprising, but give yourself a break. Take some time to come to terms with it all first, then, if you can cope with it tell your parents. Try out different ways to tell them, see what feels more comfortable. Maybe something like, "........'s going to have a baby brother/sister". You then don't have to say pregnant, or having a baby.
Once the baby arrives, if not before, you should be fine with the situation and be on hand with lots of cuddles.
Hope that helps and all goes well. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]

Just realize, that your parents will be mature adults about it, and that they'd understand, since they've obviously had a kid before. =P [ XkittyOkatX's advice column | Ask XkittyOkatX A Question ]

Sure your boyfriend's parents are having sex, your parents would probably assume that anyway. Don't lose sleep over it and when the baby is born bring him/her over to meet your parents. It will be fine, I promise. [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]

Nine months from now they will know whether you say anything or not. [ rick505's advice column | Ask rick505 A Question ]

At first my boyfriend wasn't excited.. and when he told me I was sooo excited. but I didn't want to tell anyone because they were just thinking of having a kid, she's not pregnant yet. But I was sooo excited I had to tell SOMEONE you know.. so I told my mom because I talk to her about me and my boyfriend alot. I'm 14 so I can relate. But anyways if you really want to tell her this is what I said to my mom "Mom oh my goshhh guess what ?!.. _______'s mom is gonna have a baby! Her and _______'s step dad decided to have a baby!!" maynn I was sooo excited. I'm still more excited than my boyfriend. Sorry I was kind of leaning towards what happened with me, but I understand how you feel. If you aren't comfordable with telling her and your b.f wants her to know so bad, then he can tell her too.
Hope I helped.
