I had sex with my boyfriend and got pregnant, confirmed by 7 tests two months ago (yeah LOL i didnt wanna believe it). I have morning sickness sometimes but not too bad I don't think. Anyway I know Im going to start showing some time and get a big belly and dont want my parents to know I'm pregnant. I was thinking to tell them like right before I give birth and then they can't really be that mad because the baby will be coming so quickly then. How can I hide that I'm pregnant? I want to hide that I'm pregnant from my parents so I can't figure it out. They don't even know I had sex. Should I wear big sweatshirts and oversized hoodies? A girl at my school said it would work. I was also thinking of like trying to gain a bunch of weight so they think I'm just getting fat? help
Realize that inside of you is another human being.
That human being needs to be taken care of properly. It needs things like prenatal vitamins, things you can't take in secret.
If you wait until you're about to give birth to let your parents know you're pregnant, you're doing that baby a disservice.
It would be incredibly selfish of you to neglect that baby's health just so you don't get in trouble with your parents.
Did you stop and think about what you're going to do once the baby is born? Whether it will be healthy or not? What about the life that baby is going to have to live?

The best idea is to tell them, most parents find out because that is really hard to hide, just tell them that you think you may be pregnant even though you alrady know! Not only will it take a huge load of your chest but they can help you, you need a lot of nutrituion and vitams and your mom can help you, i'm pretty sure she will understand if not just go with your boyfriend and his family. But please the best way is telling them you won't regret it because it's almost impossble to hide anyway.
However, if you are throwing out telling them as an option i think you should start gaining a bunch of weight so you're parents won't notice just make eat everything, fast food is good and try not to have much excersize. And also like you said wear big clothes and try to stay as much time as you can not around them. Like go out to your friends, always sleep over as someone else's house and when you see them wear big clothes and stuff like that!
..Good luck-SandyDandy(: [ SandyDandy's advice column | Ask SandyDandy A Question ]
imperfection000 answered Tuesday September 7 2010, 12:36 pm: I think that you should tell your parents that you are pregnant. It's the best way because you can't hide it forever and things will get complicated if you tell them at the last minute. They are your parents and they will love you now matter what.

Razhie answered Monday September 6 2010, 10:42 am: Sure, and then you can dress the baby up as a kitten and pretend you picked up stray!
Everything, and I mean everything, will go better for you and your baby the sooner you tell your parents. You need pre-natal treatments, vitamins and checkups. You need to start making plans and getting support.
No matter what you do to hide your pregnancy, it's only going to work for so long. It's selfish and wrong to tell them at the last minute because you rob them, and yourself, the time to prepare properly. AND they will be more angry that you hid it, oh god will they be more angry! And your new baby doesn't deserve to be born into this world as an unpleasant surprise.
Suck it up and do the right thing: Tell your parents. They are financially and emotionally on the hook for you and your child - they have a right to know what they are in for, and you need their support now, not in a few months. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
kristamikele answered Monday September 6 2010, 9:46 am: Well, it's not all about you, anymore, and so you don't have the luxury of being an immature baby and lying to your parents. You have to think about what's best for your child. Judging from your words, it sounds like you have chosen to have this baby, and so he/she is going to need medical care. How would you feel if you were to lie to your parents until you had the baby, only to find out your child suffers from a condition for the rest of it's life that could have been prevented? OK, I might be making things sound a little serious, and chances are, your baby is heathy and beautiful, but you are a mom now, and you have to act responsibly.
One more thing. Remember--NOONE has the right to tell you what to do with your baby and your body. This is legally YOUR decision to make, but I would want to hear what my family had to say so they could give me advice.
This is not a test, this is real life, and you want your baby to be born with all of the things he/she is going to need. The longer you wait, the less time you have to prepare. Your parents have jobs and lives and you are being completely selfish by thinking it's ok to throw this at them last minute. Stop being a baby and start thinking about what's best for your baby. You have to be the strong mature one because this baby is an innocent life, it didn't ask to be born, and it deserves the best mom you can be.

kacibinkley answered Monday September 6 2010, 3:24 am: If you are going to have sex, you should automatically know what the chances are of getting pregnant. The longer you wait to tell you parents, the less prepared you are going to be on the items you need for your child. I know your parents are going to get mad, and they might even yell, but they aren't going to hate you, and they can only stay mad for so long. Don't lie to them at all; and you could always put the child up for adoption, but abortion should be out of the picture considering the fact that you had sex with your boyfriend; if your old enough to have sex, you should be old enough to face any consequence that comes with it. Good luck. [ kacibinkley's advice column | Ask kacibinkley A Question ]
laynemayhem answered Monday September 6 2010, 2:40 am: its not an awesome idea to just waltz up to your parents one day and be like "mom and dad, i'm pregnant. and by the way, i'm in labor, so lets go" no, no, no, no. bad idea. if anything, they'll just be more pissed. you can hide it for the first trimester, but you will be showing and it wont be easy to hide. the big hoodies thing might work for a few weeks, but you need to tell them. the longer you put it off, the madder they'll be. tell them in a few weeks. they'll be mad at first, sure, but every parent would be. but overtime, they'll get used to the idea, and be able to rejoice with you when the child is born. when you tell them, be sure your boyfriend is in the room and your dad is a great length away from him. (your dad may try to kill the kid...it happens)
nikitathecheetah answered Monday September 6 2010, 1:59 am: I think you should just tell your parents the truth, because eventually they will find out. You need to really be honest with them and also talk about your options such as an abortion, adoption, or if you want to keep the baby. Hiding it will do you no good, and they'll find out and be even more angry. I hope i helped. Good Luck. [ nikitathecheetah's advice column | Ask nikitathecheetah A Question ]
