So.... I am pregnant. I found out a few weeks ago and I'm terrified of telling my parents! I'm 25 years old, have been with my partner for 3 years, we live together, both have good jobs, I've graduated from university, we run a home etc. We're engaged and have booked our wedding for 2018 too. The reason I'm so scared to tell my parents is because they're christians... like traditional African Christians. I'm so scared to disappoint them even though me getting pregnant isn't in the 'worst' of situations. We hen I moved out of my family home and got a place with my now fiancé they weren't pleased but have come to terms with it and are ok with it knowing we're getting married and actually serious about one another, as opposed to thinking it was a 'fling'... I know I upset them then but I'm scared this is going to absolutely make them hate me. Can anyone help as to how I can tell them ?

Frist of all you are living with this guy, parents are not stuiped. They are going to know you are sleeping together. That is why they were upset. that was the start to a sinful life and they know what it can lead to. Tell them they know it's coming just don't know when. Trust me. Yes they are going to be mad at you but, they will forgive you as God tells all of to do. Go about it use the word to tell them and let them know that you and him made a mistake not them nor your child made this mistake. That we all fall down, but, we can get up and learn from this. They may not surport how you went about it though they will not danie your baby. Know that God did not make a mistake, He know you were living in sin and gave you this child to teach to walk with Him and disciple. He knows you can teach your child and has alound you have this wonderful gift. GOD BE WITH YOU!
