You should buy a home pregnancy test first and see if you can find out for sure before you stir anything up with your mom. If it turns out that you are pregnant, of course you need to tell her, you don't say how old you are and that makes a little difference, but if it were me, I would sit down with her when there is nothing much going on and tell her that you are pregnant and tell her exactly how you feel about it. You mentioned that you are far from ready to have a baby and still in high school so are you sure you really want to be a mom? It is a lot of responsibility! Your mom might worry that at your age, that she would be the one who will end up taking care of the baby on an every day basis and that is a very valid concern for her, not to mention the expense of raising a child is huge. If you turn out not to be pregnant, maybe you could ask her for some sort of pet that would be all yours and you could practice up on taking care of another life that way? I am sure that if you are pregnant and you and your mom decide to keep the baby that you will be a fine mother, I had my first at 19 and did okay, but I missed out on a lot of things my friends were doing that I could no longer do. I had a friend who had a baby at 15 and she struggled, she is still struggling and I wonder how her life would have turned out had she not gotten pregnant so young. If your not pregnant take some time to think about things, your mom knows you better than anyone in the world and she probably knows best. I know thats not fun to hear but you are young and have so much time ahead of you to have babies under the right circumstances in your future, if your not pregnant take the time to enjoy your youth and do the things that young people are supposed to be doing- going to the mall, to the movies, spending the night at friends houses, getting your first car, getting your first job, all of these things and even just the smallest things like going to visit a friend down the street will not be so easy if you have a baby. Anyways, good luck to you and I hope it works out for you no matter what happens.

I would say first off, take a test at home if you can.

If not- be honest with your mom. Very honest. If you are indeed expecting, it's the most important habit to adopt- being totally honest at all times especially with your mom.
Sit her down, and just say "Mom- I have to talk to you."

She may freak out a bit (I would TOTALLY expect this, my Mom did and I was married for a few years before my first). If you are indeed pregnant, you need A+ prenatal care for your baby and your young body.

There are new young women out there everyday becoming mothers. Its nothing new. You may be shunned by some, but that won't do anything but cause you stress so just try to just focus on staying positive. Stay healthy. Keep an open line of communication with your family and doctor.

Best of Luck. It will be hard, but you can do it. (((hugs)))

If I were in your shoes, I would take a pregnancy test and then I would (if it was positive) write a little note to my mom that says something like " Mommy, we really need to talk, I know you might be mad at me but just listen..." that might kind of break the ice a little. I like doing things through notes it makes it easier on myself. You can't hide it and your mom might be furious and she may say things she doesn't mean but in the end it is her grandchild and you are her daughter.

If I had to tell my mom I was pregnant she would probably cry, but my dad would probably act like he hated me. After a while, they would both come sit down next to me and talk about why I did something like that, and if I wanted to put it up for adoption. (abortion is never the way to go) They would be with me every step of the way and I am sure your mom would be too.

Of course you can take care of the baby. It is almost instant for many mothers. As soon as you hold that baby in your arms you will do the best you can to raise him/her to the best of your ability, and you know that you will.

You have all my support! I pray for you.

First you should go to the drug store (CVS or something like that in your area) and get a home pregnancy test. Take the test, if it comes out positive, you NEED to tell your mother. I mean you are only in high school and thats young!! If you choose to keep the baby, good luck. Life as you know it now is going to change. No more coming and going as you please. I am sure you will love the baby, but speak with you mom ... you are going to need all the support you can get. Good Luck!

Take a test first, if it comes out positive then tell your mom. Talk to her like she was your best friend.
But first think of how the baby is going to change your life forever. Think about where you are at right now, still in school, still very young. Are you sure you can handle a baby. They are a lot of things to think about.
Not only you should tell your mother but also the soon to be daddy. Well that's if you are. If you are or no Good Luck!

It sounds like she already knows you are having sex, so I am assuming you have an open relationship. Either you can just tell her and have her take you or tell her you are not feeling well and need to go to the doctor for a checkup, who knows she may go for it. I wouldn't suggest lying though, just tell her. She is your mother and she loves and does want the best for you. It will be easier if you have her support. Good luck and ignore all the people on here who won't be able to help themselves from stating the obvious, like you should of used protection. My guess would be is that you get that now and do not need to hear it from a stranger.
I am concerned though about how you feel about having a baby. It will not bring you happiness or give you a feeling of something of your own. Babies are a lot of work, not just cute fun. Just please think about that.

Can you get one of those home pregnancy tests at a pharmacy and test at home for yourself? If you are pregnant, no matter how hard it is, you have to tell you Mom so that the two of you can decide what to do.

A baby is just so much responsibility and hard, hard work. It would mean giving up all the freedom you should have at your age just to learn and grow and enjoy life. I know you would love your baby, but honestly think about what kind of life you would have to offer this baby. You have to love this baby enough to maybe put it up for adoption. I can't answer that question. You have to look in your heart and see how much love you have for the baby and answer it.

I would just tell your mom that you are scared and you need her. Any mom I know may be mad but they will take care of you. That is what being a mom is. Unfortunately any mom in that situation will probably be shocked not much you can do about it.

Well for you sake i hope you are not pregnant. A baby should come into this world with better reason than you would enjoy it. Babies need so much and a child to take care of them is not the answer. Do not consider abortion. If you decide you cant keep it adoption is a great solution. So many women want and can care for babies and are in a much better situation than a girl who is just starting to figure out who and what she is.

Good Luck.

You want to be a mother.Good. It is a position of responsibility and commitment. You must understand that first. If you are afraid of your mother, then it shows that you have committed a mistake and you have guilty conscious. Never mind. Decide first that you will be a responsible person not only for yourself and even for those who depend on you. Then go to a drug store and buy a pregnancy test kit. If the result is positive, have the courage to show that test result to your mother. Acquire enough courage to tell her that you are pregnant and you will be responsible for the baby. Can you do it?
