How to Tell Your Boyfriend and Family You Are Pregnant

If you just found out you’re pregnant and it wasn’t planned, your mind is probably racing with questions, especially about how to tell the people closest to you. If you’re still living at home or at college, it’s important to tell your parents about the pregnancy. Figuring out how to tell them can be tricky, but we’re here to help!

At Crossroads Pregnancy Resource Center, we offer a calm and confidential space to process your thoughts about your pregnancy and explore your various options. Here’s how you can approach these critical conversations with confidence and care.

While you’re sorting through these details, your girlfriend can receive no-cost pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and support at Crossroads. Insurance is never require ...read more
