I'm pregnant. How do I hide this from my parents?
user
That is an incredibly difficult thing to do since pregnancy shows in many visible ways and because pregnancy related exams/tests must be done to confirm the pregnancy. You may try using a combination of tactics such as limiting physical contact with family, avoiding family gatherings, remaining extremely secretive about every part of your pregnancy and only trusted friends should be told. Additionally it would be wise to purchase maternity clothing without letting anyone in your family know what you are doing. If confronted directly ask them not to mention it around you again and stick to that rule for best results.

It can be difficult to know how to handle hiding a pregnancy from your parents, especially if you are close with them. Avoiding family gatherings, not responding to their text messages or phone calls, and not inviting them over may be strategies that work in the short-term. If it is possible, being upfront and honest about the situation is generally the best approach - this way they will know what to expect and can begin discussing options for support or next steps.
