If you were pregnant would you tell your mom?

Question

i am pregnant

Answer 1

You should always tell your mom no matter how difficult it is. I had my first 2 kids without being married. It was also 2 different relationships I was in. My kids are 4 years apart, so they have different dads. Yes it was hard telling my mom I was pregnant again and in yet another bad relationship. she was happy after a few weeks though as was I. I would not give my kids up for nothing. It does not matter how they got here I am glad that they are, as will your mom.Good Luck telling her.

Answer 2

depends, how old are you? if you're still living w/ her and she's taking care of your basic needs, then you have no choice but to tell her. i mean, if she's a nut in the funny farm, then there's no reason to tell her anything. do you guys have a good relationship? are you going to keep the baby? does the father (of the baby) know? do you even know who the father is? assuming you're under age, single, and still living at home, then good god woman!!! tell her!!! why would you keep this from her anyway? sure she might be pissed off, she might even want to send you away, she may disown you, she may even never speak to you again, but if she's genuinely good, she'll be mad (if you're just a teenager) but she'll eventually come around, and support you, both morally and financially. after all, you're carrying her grandchild. how do you think she'll react? is she a calm carrying person, or do you suspect she'll blow her top, and try something physical? does she have a history of abuse? if she's violent, stay away. if you decide to tell her, do so in a letter (stay w/ a friend until she's cooled off!), or a phone call. if you believe she'll handle it calmly, then sit her down and tell her, be gentle, don't get hysterical, don't mouth off, don't curse, etc. try to come up w/ a plan (provided you want to keep the baby), show her you're not just some ditsy teenager, but that you understand the emotional strain you're about to undertake, and make every effort to carry it through. she'll worry about the financial burden. she'll worry about your general health, you'll have to get medical insurance (opt for medicaid if under age and low income), and get prenatal care. you'll have to continue school, possibly night school, or get your GED. or take independent studies in your area. there's a lot to consider, telling your mother is just the first step. so in answer to your question, yes, by all means, tell her. tell her now!!! (by the way, how far along are you?) good luck. and dang it, consult a health website like http://www.mayoclinic.com or something and get the basics on pregnancy and what to expect.

Answer 3

Yes, tell your mom. You can only hide it for so long befoe your body gives away your secret. Parents are there to be supportive. Your life is about to change in a big way, wouldn't it be nice to have someone that loves you help you along the way? She's been through this before, so she should be able to give you some pointers too.

Answer 4

Well. She going to know sooner or later so its best to just get it over with. She may be pissed at first but she will get over it. If it helps. Do what i did. I wrote my mom a letter and told her about my first pregnancy. I was 19 and with the person i married so she didnt freak too badly. Good Luck =) and congrats.

Answer 5

I wish I could have...she died 6 years ago. Being close to your mom and sharing with her this joy should be your top priorities. No one realizes how precious life is until it's gone. I hope she supports you emotionally through this like a mother should. Good luck.

Answer 6

Of course. How would you plan on hiding it? There comes a point where she will find out on her own and be very upset and disappointed that you were unable to tell her.

I was 15 when I had to tell my mom.The reaction wasn't nearly as bad as I had figured it would be.
Tell your mom, NOW!

Answer 7

if you are under age 18 and live with her, then yes. she's going to find out sooner or later, its your job that she finds out from you and that you do it as gently as possible- you will need her help. if you are over 18 and on your own, then wait until a the right momment. the holidays are coming up, give her a pacifier or rattle as a gift and ask her what she would like to be called!

Answer 8

I would. I am married with 2 kids already i don't think she would care!!! But when I was pregnant with my second for whatever reason I was scared to tell her!!!! and i was married then too!!

Answer 9

Definitely yes

Answer 10
