You and your boyfriend need to tell her together. Say "We're expecting a baby. This wasn't planned, and we're nervous, but we're also excited. We've decided to keep the baby and raise it together."

Well, you just need to be honest with her. Tell her "mom, i dont want you to be disappointed but we found out we are going to have a baby and we want to keep it" Tell her you would love to have her by your side through this and you need her support. Tell her your plans to take care of the baby as best you can while finishing school, finding a job, getting your own place, ect. Assure her you know it will be hard but you know you can find a way to make it work. A child is a wonderful blessing and I wish you the best of luck!

Please don't be afraid. Take a close friend with you and ask her if you can speak to her in private. Then break the news as gently as possible. Prepare yourself - she will be shocked out of her mind. With your friend there, she may contain herself until the truth has settled in. You are in for a long ride, lots of judgment from family and friends etc., but good on you for wanting to keep your baby, you have already made a fine choice and what's a bet your mom will be the one to stand by you and be there for you no matter what?!! This is what usually happens. When the baby is there, everyone forgets. It's just another baby to love.

I would just tell her. She will probably be mad at first. Just give her time. She will be thrilled to be a grandma. The sooner you tell her the better. If she is any kind of mom, she will give you the best advice she can give and help you get through this. It's so different when the baby finally comes. She will love you and the baby no matter what. Whatever you do, I wouldn't abort.

I was in denial for the first trimester of my pregnancy with my son. I finally got up enough courage to take a pregnancy test and when it came back positive, I had to figure out a way to tell my parents.
I chickened out and wrote a letter (just watched the new Drew Barrymore movie Riding in Cars with Boys) instead. I drew up a letter of resignation to my current job at the time, and also wrote a letter to my parents. I left one manila envelope at the top of the stairs, and took the other with me to give to my employer.
When I came home that night, my mother had scribbled a note on the envelope advising me that they needed to speak to me and to not go to bed until they had a chance to talk with me.
The worst of it happened that night, and really, it wasn't HORRIBLE, just really uncomfortable. The biggest problem that I had was trying to make them understand that I COULD be responsible enough to be a good parent. My mother did ask me if I had "Thought" about all my options. I advised her if she thought I was going to have an abortion, she had another thing coming. I had made my decision long ago that if for any reason I became pregnant, I would take responsibility for it (even if it was due to unforseeable circumstances).
I never think of my son as an accident, he's now 5.5 years old and I cannot imagine my life without him. I am currently pregnant with my second child, not very far along either, and this time it was much easier to tell my parents (also for the fact I don't live with them, am married, and have a full-time job). My parents cannot imagine their lives without my son either.
It takes a strong person to raise a child properly, and you will need all the support you can get. By telling your parents NOW, and letting them know your wishes, you will have them on your side.
If, for some reason, your parents do not condone your actions, by all means, let them know your intentions, carry them through, and always leave the lines of communication open with them...there will come a day when they come to their senses and realize the err of their ways.
Just because you think you're too young, it doesn't mean you can't handle it. If you've made the decision you want to have the baby and raise it as your own, you aren't too young. That's a very mature decision. Make sure you get to all of your prenatal visits (so important to the well-being of you and your baby), and speak to a trusted adult about your situation as well and reach out for the assistance that has been made available. Do your best to educate yourself...make sure you finish High School...take correspondence classes through your local community college...providing the best life for your child also means providing the best life for yourself.
Congratulations on your pregnancy, I wish you all the best, and just remember, nobody but you can make you feel badly about any of this. You have the choice to not let anything anybody else says to affect you.

Well deffinately keep it. Don't let anyone talk you into an abortion. Just sit her down. And tell her calmly that you made a big mistake and you are pregnant. And that your bf knows and he is going to be there for you and you both are willing to pay the consequences for having sex. Tell her that you're scared and that you will do what ever you have to do to make it work. Good Luck you'll get through it.

Well you need to tell her as soon as possible. Sit her down and say you have something to tell her, and that she may be upset. tell her you are pregnant and that you have thought it over and would like to keep it. If she has a go at you about getting rid of the baby, just say that you will think it over. A few days later you can tell her that you have thought it over and that you would still like to keep the baby.

If you are grown up enough to make the decision to have unprotected sex and get pregnant you are grown up enough to tell your mom. Its a scary thing to do, but its not something that you are going to be able to hide for long. Maybe you could sit down with her when you two can be alone and tell her that you need to make an appointment at the dr because you think that you are pg. She will probably be freaked out a bit at first, but will probably be there for you. Good luck..

Is he capable of supporting you financially if you keep the baby? Are you ready to give up going out with friends, getting up whenever you want on weekends? Are you prepared to go to class during the day, work after school, homework after that and taking care of a baby that may cry all night, and then doing it over the next day, and the next....? Talk to someone soon your mom is a good choice. Be prepared to get yelled at and lectured. Then when she calms down you can explore the decisions together.

You are going to have to tell her. If you want to keep the baby, do not let anyone talk you out of it because you will regret it later. There are lots of places that will help out young mothers.

Wow! you're in a rough spot. If daddy is going to stay with you and baby, Get your boyfriend and mom together. Help them get along, it will make it easier when you two have to tell mom. Mom will be a bit at ease knowing a good man will be there for her daughter and grandchild.
