I am 23, and I have been dating my boyfriend since 16. I just graduated from college and work full time, but I still live with my parents. So my situation is not that bad as it could be.
I have a feeling my mother suspects something, and waiting for me to tell her.
I know my she is not going to be extremely upset with me, but it still will be a shock for my family, as I am not married.
I think the bigger concern is not my mother, but the rest of the family.

It's not a huge drama. You're in a stable relationship, out of college and old enough to support a child.
I would present it as good news, and expect the whole family to accept it as such.
I think if you present it expecting a bad reaction, you'll get one.

Well I would wait until there's nobody else around and find some way calmly to tell her. I haven't had any problem telling my mother so wouldn't know your situation. But I'm 19, pregnant, and unmarried also too.I have my own place with my boyfriend and I work full-time so my family all accepted it no problem. Now his family took it alot harder than mine did though !

If you and your boyfriend have dated that long, and are expecting a child, then the family will probably expect you to get married. There's really no getting around that. Just share the news and let them know that you're excited about parenting!

If you suspect your mom knows then she probably does. Womans intuition + she's your mother.
If you assume she wont be that upset then she's exactly the one you want on your side. Tell her privatly, she's not going to abandon you - it could be easier to tell your father if your mother is by your side.
You graduated and you're working - I think you'll be okay.

if i were you i would just tell her. she probably will be mad at first but she will get over it pretty quick.just invite her to your prenatal care appointments and just get her in valved she will in joy it once she sees that everything is going to be OK. it probably bring you all closer but it will just take time for her to get used to the fact that your not little any more and that you are about to have your own little bundle of joy. and i hope that everything works out for the best and good luck.

tell her she's going to be a grandma.... (i have a feeling she's surprised it hasn't happened before now !) .....and is the rest of your family a bunch of saints, are they so holy ? I think not, because nobody's perfect. Tell your mom ! Let the fun begin !

write her a letter, saying that you were afraid of the reaction, and want to know that your pregnant, and that you are excited for the new baby, and need a good ob/gyn, etc...
good luck! that's how i got along, except im in a worse place than u! im 17, 7 months!
it also helps that u have a steady bf, im single. no1 2 take care of me and my baby! boo hoo

The longer you wait the easier it will be. because she will see your stomach growing, but then that's just wrong.
Just tell her. I hope you aren't the child that goes to church every sunday and preaches about premarital sex.
