How about a card for Mother's Day which says Happy Grandmother's day instead?
Not sure when Mother's Day is for the US but its this Sunday in the UK.
Or just buy a Tshirt and get it printed with World's best Grandmother
Then you just sit back an watch as she opens it and she slowly realises!

First, how old are you?
Second, do you have a good relationship with your mother?
If you're an adult, who cares what anyone thinks about your pregnancy. Therefore if you're excited about this pregnancy, let everyone know your enthusiasm.
If you're not an adult, you'll have to tell one/both your parents. Unless, you plan to abort.
Most importantly, if you have a good relationship with your mom, then telling her (no matter what your age) shouldn't be too traumatic. If you're an adult, it makes it soooooo much easier though.
Creative ways to tell Mom she's gonna be a Grandma:
1. Frame the first ultrasound image, and give as a gift.
2. Make a shirt that states she's going to be a Grandmother, and give as a gift.
3. If she knits or crochets, buy her some yarn and needles and tell her she'd better get started on that baby blankie.
4. Ask her what she's going to be doing on so-n-so date (due date).

That depends partly on the relationship you have with your mother, your age, and whether you plan on carrying the pregnancy to term-and it's ok if you have not decided that yet, too. Since you are stressed about how to tell her, I would imagine you are young, so I'll go with that.
If you and your mother are close, I think that you should tell her when you are alone and not already in the middle of a fight of anything. If you are really uncomfortable doing it alone, ask a friend who is close to you to sit in for moral support. She/he does not need to say anything, but sometimes just sitting next to you is a relief.
If your relationship is not very good, and you fear it could be an ugly conversation, maybe you should ask your father or and aunt or someone to sit in with you, again, just as moral support.
The best thing to do is just be honest with her. Tell her what your plans are, ask her your questions, discuss the options that you have for the future. If it were me, I would likely talk to my mom at the kitchen table over tea or something. Remember that it may be a surprise for her, but that she only wants what is best for you. I know my mom was really caught off guard by my sister's pregnancy years ago, but it all worked out.
If I am way off base and you are just looking for a cool way to tell her, let us know- I have a few cute ideas about that too.
Good luck with your mom and whatever you decide to do with the pregnancy.

Well that depends. How old are you?? Are you underage and afraid on how she will react to the news? If that's the case, I would suggest you have someone else with you when you tell her. A trusted friend, teacher, or other relative, to help you break the news. If your an adult, single, married, whatever, ask her, if she ever had a grandchild, what would she like to name it. Then maybe she would get the hint. Good luck.

Assuming this is something you wanted, how about making a pregnancy announcement card? One of the best ideas I ever saw was a friend took a newspaper and made a fake headline for it about her and her husband having another baby. Maybe something cute like a small treasure hunt and have a baby rattle at the end?

Tell her where you are in life and how you are successful right now and making strides to a great future. Then tell her and she will feel better about the news.

show your mum some cute photos of babies... and then ask her if it's wonderful to have one...then the next thing will be telling her of your pregnancy
