This seems to be one of my biggest worries at the moment letting people know, by people I mean like family. The only reason why I am stressing about letting my parents know is because I don't want them to be disappointed in me or feel shame when I tell them that I am going to be a single mother I don't wan to put any more shame on them they mean the world to me but I am anxious about their reaction. In fact I am quite anxious about other family reactions but I know I can't really help other peoples reactions & that what they think shouldn't matter....
Has anyone else been threw this knowing their going to be a single parent & trying to find the way to tell their parents. I know I should just tell them & their reaction either way shouldn't effect me as I am old enough to make my own life choices but I do worry as I will need my family support more than ever. I just don't know how to bring it up with them & keeping it quiet is so hard especially as my mom used to be a midwife & their is so much advise I'd like her help on like for eg what foods I can that are safe.
I know I can't keep it from them much longer, I'm trying to wait until I'm 3 months, which I could quite possibly be at I don't as yet know how far along I am even though a clearblue said 3+ which means I'm 5+ weeks but could be further along than that. I just want to make sure that I am out of the danger zone before having to tell them.
I'm also worrying that I could be worrying for nothing that they will be delighted for me & that I should be letting the,m know so that I've got their support & letting them go threw all this with me, it's so much to be going threw myself that I just don't know what the right decision is.
Sorry for the long post which possibly didn't make any sense I'm shattered
