You are 24 and married so that should go down well with them. I'm not sure I understand about the insurance but it sounds like they include you but what about your husband and does it cover antenatal care and childbirth? Most prospective grandparents are excited at the thought of their first grandchild though I would maybe make a plan with your husband on how you will cope so you can show you have thought about it.

Most putative grandparents are pretty thrilled when there is a real pregnancy and the promise of a grandchild. Presumably you live somewhere where there isn't free healthcare and that could be a worry for all your family. I hope all goes well.

Maybe this is from the US where you have to have medical insurance.

Congratulations! But why do you need insurance?

Hello! I am not a grandparent but needed to turn somewhere for advice. I am 24, married and 8 weeks pregnant. I have a full time, post college job, and my husband is job hunting as he just finished school. For some reason I am terrified to tell my parents I am pregnant. I think they will be happy, but I am still on their insurance and feel like I’m 16 and telling them the worst possible news. My parents can be a bit judge mental towards others and I’m afraid they won’t be happy since my husband isn’t employed yet, we don’t have our own insurance, and we’re still saving for a house. We are married so I know it’s to be expected but I’m so worried. Reassurance or advice please?
