How do I tell my dad I'm pregnant?

He will be angry, but he has to understand. I mean you are his daughter, just these things have to stop happening. even though they wont, because you feel bad and he will feel bad as well.

I hope for the best

As a Dad who went through this with his daughter I think I can give you some idea from my story.

I knew she had something to tell me because she was so nervous and on the verge of tears. In those few seconds before she spoke, all of the possibilities ran through my head including pregnancy. She said; Dad, I have something to tell you (hesitated) I'm pregnant.

There was a rush of feelings; anger, frustration, disappointment, sadness, confusion, and even some relief. Her Mom was with her for support as she had already told her. I saw so many of the hopes for my little girl go out the window. She was 17 and the rest of her life was destroyed.

My wife and I had talked about this possibility many, many years before and I just said to her that I need some time to take the news in.

I didn't take much, maybe a couple of hours, and we sat down and talked about what she should do now. We covered all the bases from abortion to keeping to adoption. The decision to keep the child was a quick one for all of us. It just felt like the toughest but the right thing to do.

Over the course of the pregnancy we talked and retalked about how the future for her, the child and us would be handled. It became accepted and we just continued on.

BTW, marriage with the Boyfriend was out of the question and he soon proved that decision right not long after the child was born.

I love my daughter very much and if the worst mistake she can make is to give me a grandchild then I have it pretty good.

Lindsay is now 3 years old and a joy in all our lives. My daughter is still struggling a bit with motherhood and is in university continuing all those other plans that we had discussed previously.

I didn't lose my daughter. Her life wasn't destroyed. It wasn't something that I would have picked for her or us but we all adjusted. As a matter of fact, watching my daughter raise her daughter under the watchful eyes of us was something that many grandparents don't get to enjoy. I wouldn't change a thing.

Your Dad loves you and always will. He may be angry at first and you may think that he hates you but that's impossible to happen.

Good luck.

Hard to say how he will react, depends on his personality. The only way to approach it is straight forward. Tell him you need to talk to him about something personal. Tell him you need his advice and his help and you don't want him to be mad. Then tell him straight out. Then you have to deal with it. It may be rough, but it will be for the best in the long run (you can't hide it and if you are considering an abortion, you may already be to far along).

Good luck!

i don't know how he will react as all fathers are different my friend got pregnant at 15 and her dad kicked her out and never spoke to her again and then another friends dad took it with a pinch of salt and eventually came around
you do realize your life will be dramatically changed and not for the good think of what you are going to do and I don't mean an abortion there lots of people out there who desperately want children and can't have one maybe you could help them

No one else would really know for sure how you father will react except you. The day I told my mom, she was definitely mad, hurt, everything. she was so many emotions all at once. but once it was out the way, she was supportive. she wanted to know if I was ready for the baby and I said yes. afterwards, she got used to the idea of having a grandchild. she had to.

I didn't tell my mom until I was 4 or 5 months. its very hard to tell your parents that kind of news.but once its out in the open, you'll feel so much better. I don't know when you should tell him, but I told my mom when I was on my way to school. she was driving me to school. I guess you just kinda know when the right time comes to tell them.

good luck hon.
