I've been wondering how to tell my dad that I'm pregnant.
I am married, but he wasn't exactly excited about the wedding. In fact, he didn't come. Anway, I just texted him to tell him that I wanted to stop by tomorrow because I have some news. He responded by telling me that he would ask my step mom and ..."You know alcohol is bad for you, right?". 
Will I be able to read my childs mind like that? I think he's prepared for tomorrows conversation.

Well, prepared is good. I'm sure that he'll be thrilled to learn that he's a grandpop even if he's a bit gruff on the outside. I remember when I told my mom that I was pregnant, I was married and thirty and she still gave me the evil eye! LOL.
Just go in with a positive attiude and tell him the good news. Or you can present him with a pin that says New Grandpa -- that's how I told my husband. I put new baby balloons in his bathroom and a New Dad pin on his robe.
I remember when I told my parents I was pregnant, the first time. I was extremely nervous, I thought my mom would be thrilled, my dad would be very upset. I was seeing my kids dad, not for very long and I was in my early 20s trying to go to school and work full time.
I went home, told my mom, she was the one who was upset and started lecturing me, my dad was at the bar, as always(alcoholic), I called him and told him he needed to come home, that I needed to talk to him. He came through the door, I told him I was pregnant, he is the one who gave me a high-five. The first step is always the hardest, and even if they are not happy, by the time the baby comes, I am sure he will be thrilled.
THERES NO EASY WAY TO SAY IT.
MY DAD DIDNT LIKE IT WHEN HE FOUND OUT.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME TELLING HIM NOT MY MOM
I think you just need to come out and tell him! I know its hard to not act like your nervous but you need to tell him with a positive attitued and show him that you have no second thoughts and that your excited. People tend to feed off of other peoples energys so if you are happy and excited when you tell him it may change his perspective a little. I know what your going through though, I got pregnant with my first daughter when i was seventeen! Telling my parents was very hard for me to do but it had to be done. They didnt react the way i thought they would ................... sometimes people surprise you!
Relax, time heals all. Your father probably knows but it will be nice to open conversation with him. I was married to someone that my entire family disliked, we had a daughter after three years of marriage. This did not work out but in the end my father fell in love with his grand daugher. She is now 21 and ready to finish college I could not have made it without his support. Believe me it's there just takes time and patience. If he does not act like you expect keep trying....
YOUR A MARRIED WOMAN THAT DONT DEPEND ON FATHER SO JUST BE REAL WITH HIM.. GOOD LUCK
it will be ok he loves u very much and by the time the baby is born he will have come around
