Just bite the bullet and get it over with. Isnt going to get any better by waiting.

Answer 2

Oh sweetie. I do feel for you. I fell pregnant when I was 15 (I'm 35 now) so I know where you're coming from. I can only hope for you that your Mum is as supportive as mine was. The only thing you can do is be honest with her and ask for help. Don't be suprised if her first reaction is anger. Give her time to adjust and talk to her again. If you feel safer, have someone close with you when you tell her. She may say some hurtful things but not mean them. Make sure you have someone else to talk to while your Mum gets used to it. Talk to the father of your baby and suggest you tell your Mum together. I really do wish you luck. It's a hard time you face ahead. Just make sure you always talk to people about how you're feeling no matter how silly you might think your feelings are. I'm sure your Mum will come around.

Answer 3

I was pregnant at 16 and am now 17 with a 1 month old child. I was SOOO nervous about telling my mom, I actually practiced telling her with my sister so I'd know what to say and how to say it. I know just where you're coming from. You just need to know that once you tell her you will feel SO much better. I personally said "hey mom, I really hope you don't think any less of me for this, but I'm pregnant." She actually was more calm about the situation than I was. Be honest, and straightforeward. Good luck!

Answer 4

I can understand your fear. But the truth is you need someone by your side during this time. This should be your parent because of your age. Tell her that you need to sit down and talk, ASAP. Tell it's very important and that you need her immediate attention. Try and keep yourself as calm as possible. When you sit down look at her in the eyes and tell her that you love her and that you have something very important to tell her. Then tell her. She might not say much at first but tell her your fears be honest. Don't hold back. Take it step by step. You can and will be able to get through this. Whatever your thoughts, and decision is talk to her. But the quicker you do it the better. If you find yourself having a difficult time starting the conversation show her the question that you put up. Please don't feel so scared that you don't speak up it is very important to get medical help for you and your baby. I will have you in my thoughts and prayers tonight. I wish you the best of luck please post what has happened after you speak with her because I am concerned about you. I send you a hug to get you through this.

Answer 5

Face the music. Be an adult.
Do it Friday night so you have the whole weekend together.
Don't be surprised or hurt or run out of the house if she reacts loudly, etc. - it's going to take her a while to sort it out in her head. How long did it take you to get used to the idea? Same with her - she's going need a minute so don't hold a grudge if she says anything.

You may also want to think about what you want to do about it - don't just tell your mom that you're pregnant - tell her you're pregnant and this is your plan.

Have you thought about adoption? My brother has adopted 3 kids - and he and his wife are grateful everyday to the birth mothers who had the strength to do it.

Good luck to you.

Answer 6

You would be surprised at how well she might just take it. When I told my father (mom had died) I thought that I was going to throw up, but he ended up being excited.
Do you know if you want to keep it or give it up for adoption?

If I were you, I would just tell her so you can get on with having a healthy pregnancy. After all, you have a new little baby growing inside of you. Your mom knows what that is all about. Your mom loves you no matter what. Now, she may just be in shock for a little while, but she'll come around.

Answer 7

((((hugs))))

Ok, now is not the time to express should haves - should have nots.

Go tell your Mom as soon as possible. She is not going to be happy because she knows how difficult it will be for you to take care of a child at your age, but people have done it through the ages. Your first concern is getting good medical care at this point. Be sure to see a doctor, get proper nutrition and take care of your physical and mental needs so you can have a healthy baby. You have time to discuss whether or not you can bring the child up yourself or give it up for adoption. As a mother of an adopted son and birth daughter I can tell you that if you decide to give the baby up, know that there are people out there who would give your child all the love and care that it needs.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Answer 8

Well, the chances are that she will be mad no matter how you tell her, but she should - with a bit of luck - cool off and become more helpful. Be prepared for an argument at first, but don't p*ss her off too much - the less you argue, the sooner she will come round. I understand why you'd be scared, but think of it this way: if you don't tell her now, she will end up finding out when you are sick every morning and you start to get bigger (assuming you are keeping it) - the sooner you tell her, the sooner she will be helpful. Good luck.

Answer 9

Well your parents will always listen, it's just a natural way. Try not to stress too much, for times when I've really done something stupid and bigger than normal, I was almost surprised by the end result. I know this is different, but it carries the same principles. Never be afraid to tell your parents anything, regardless of size, plus sooner or later, they'll find out.

Answer 10

Tell her as soon as possible. You need to be seeing a doctor for prenatal care for the health of the baby, and of yourself. Then if it is available in your area, see a counselor. You need to know the options available to you. I am NOT suggesting abortion, just so you know. I mean whether you are keeping the baby, or giving it up for adoption. You are very young. You need to complete high school, and college. You need to experience more of life!!! Keep your mind open to adoption. It will be hard to give up your child, but you are still a child yourself. Children should not be raising children, and there are so many married, adult couples longing for a baby to take home and love. Be smart honey, and know that my prayers are with you. Think about everyone involved in this situation, especially the baby and try to do what is best.

Answer 11

Take a deep breath, and know that your mom will love you no matter what. I'm sure she would want to know, and it will help you to have her support. Let her know what you plan to do with the baby (keep it or adopt it out) before hand, so she knows what your decision is and can support you with it.

And don't be scared. She's your mother after-all.
