You just have to tell them. Your parents love you and your pastor will understand. Your parents will help you make the right decision. Pregnancy isn't the end of the world, infact it can be the beginning to some one elses long awaited journey into motherhood. Consider adoption over termination. The process of terminating a pregnancy could ruin your chances for ever having children again. Because one day you are going to meet the man of your dreams and you are going to love him so much that you will want nothing more than to have his children. But right now tell your parents or at least another trusted adult who can help mediate between you and your parents. You have the opportunity to bless an infertile couples life, take that opportunity!!!

Talk to them asap. Do not wait. See a doctor to confirm. Start thinking about your options. My advice, look into adoption. It is a really good alternative for anyone not ready to be a mother. And you can do an "open adoption" so you can have contact with the adoptive parents and know how the child is doing (maybe even visit every once in awhile). Adoption is not the same as is was 30 yrs ago.

And start taking care of yourself. Take prenatal vitamins and eat healthy and get prenatal care so your baby grows big and strong.
