I am only 19...how do I tell my mom I am pregnant?

Answer 1

Ask for her help. Tell her why you think you are pregnant and ask her what you should do next.

There are resources for unplanned pregnancies if you can't raise a baby right now.

Don't be too scared; if you do decide to keep the baby there is assistance you can get to help with expenses. This is why welfare exists, to help people through emergencies. Whatever you do, don't just give up. You're life is not ruined. It may require hard work but you can finish college and support yourself and your baby.

Where is the father!? You should let him know right away. If he is a decent man, he will help. If he is not a decent man, tell your social worker at the welfare office who the father is. They will deal with getting support from him without you having to sue him yourself.

Answer 2

Tell her.
If your afread of your mom doing something drastic tell her later, and stay at a friends house (that way you can keep the baby. But you are 19, she doen't have any legal hold over you, only if you let her).
If you don't want the baby tell her now or not at all, but I'd sugest tell her now and tell her what your plans are.

Either way, it's your choice to tell her and your choice for the future.

But telling her will make your life easyer (even if your mom turns out to disown you or something, at least that way you'll know what type of mother she is and you can move on).

I was 18 the first time i had to tell my mom and i sent her a card in the mail that said Grandma on it and she got the hint. My mom was very understanding i was scared to tell her in person because my older sister was 16 when she got pregnant. Do it how you feel your mom won't be offended. My cousin made me sit with her on her lunch break at work to tell her mom. lol

Answer 4

Just Tell Her You Are Pregnant..She Have To Know..

Answer 5

Well, I was 17 when I got pregnant.....It wasn't easy but I called her on the phone and told her I had left school becuase I needed to talk to her about something....she said okay....When I got home...I said mom, I am pregnant....she knew by the sound of my voice when I called her on the phone what I was gonna say...just tell her, be open and honest

Answer 6

Just open your mouth and say the words. 19 is a hell of a lot better than 14 or 15... You at least have your HS diploma or GED, right? And you are old enough to get a job to support the kid later on.
Good luck...

Answer 7

You say, "Mom, I need you to sit down for a minute because I have something to tell you." Then whether or not she does sit, you have her full attention. You then say, "Mom, I'm pregnant." Do not fear her reaction. You have no control over that. Allow her cope with the info you have given her in her own way.

Answer 8

Well depends if your still with the guy that got you pregnant or not, if you are I would suggest that you sit down with your parents and your boyfriend and talk to them about it. Another good way to go about it is to find the more calmer parent. I.e if your father has a tendacy to over react then I would suggest going to your mother and have a heart to heart discussion with her about it. You will only be able to hide the pregnancy for so long before its noticable.

Answer 10

I was in the same position at nineteen. I lived with my parents and thought I'd found my knight in shining armor (he was more like a jerk in tin foil but that's beside the point). Anyway, I went to tell my mother and when she saw the look on my face she knew. She screamed at me and told me I ruined her life! We went to tell my dad and he started yelling at my mom and sticking up for me (the only time I've heard him yell at her or even disagree with her). She calmed down and even went to my first appointment with me. Her and my father were both by my side in the hospital room when I was told I lost my baby.
The only advice I have is to just get it out now. She'll be understandably upset but she'll get used to the idea. Good luck.
