Sharing the news of an unexpected pregnancy with your parents is not always an easy thing to do. Take a breath and find clarity before diving into this sometimes scary step of the process.
We want to share some practical tips to prepare you for a better conversation with your parents. While you can’t control your parents’ response, you can control how you prepare beforehand.
Be Sure You’re Pregnant
Confirm your pregnancy details with pregnancy testing and an ultrasound to help answer questions and concerns.
Oasis Medical Center offers medical-grade pregnancy tests and limited OB ultrasounds. An ultrasound will help determine essential pregnancy details and alert you to potential complications. Our team is here to walk you through the process.
Have a Tentative Pregnancy Plan
While it can be difficult to know what’s next, do your best to come up with a tentative pregnancy plan so you can feel prepared to go into your conversation with your parents.
Creating a pregnancy plan can involve researching options you’re considering, talking to your partner, and having an idea of your next steps.
Choose a Good Time & Place
While no time may seem like a good time, choosing a more convenient time for parents to respond benefits everyone.
Try figuring out when your parents are off work and schedule a time in a safe environment. This could be in your home or a private setting so that everyone feels comfortable responding to the situation at hand.
