Long story semi-short:We moved in togeather after being engaged for a year, we are getting married next summer, june 28th, but my fiance might be pregnant. She hasnt had her period in 5 weeks, and she has been hitting the bathroom about every hour or 2. She hasnt been getting sick, and we dont think it's a bladder infection.
She wants to wait till this weekend to take a test just to be sure if her period comes.
we already decided to keep it if its true.
I honestly think she is, and i thik she thinks so too. IF she is, how would you all explain to youre parents if you were in my situation? Or if you already have been in my situation, how did it go?

Well you could invite them over for dinner and during dinner say "We have something very important to tell you. You are going to be grandparents." If your parents are happy about the marriage then they will be happy about the baby too. You can always move the wedding up. Please let me know how it goes and if congrats are in order.

If you both are living together, then it will come of no surprise to your parents. Why don't you just get married now, if she is? It will cost the same if married or not. Just tell them that you have great news, and tell them.

Hello GergOnline. There is really no need to explain. If your parents knew you were living together after being engaged for a year, getting her pregnant is no surprise. It would have just been a matter of time before she got pregnant. Her getting pregnant might be a blessing in disguise. Enjoy the moment. Parents as I have known from my own are forever understanding. You will only learn how much parents love their children once you become a parent yourself. Good luck to both of you. Just break the good news gently and Im sure your parents would get use to the idea of being grandparents. Thanks and have a nice day!
