everyone makes mistakes, but obviously God wanted you to have a baby. Of course she is going to be upset, and she might give you a lecture, ask you why you were so stupid, she may even cry, yell, just prepare yourself. BUT please dont hide this from her, if you tell her then she will have a little bit more respect. Just say Mom, I have to tell you something, and this isn't going to be easy, but I'm pretty sure I am pregnant. I got pregnant at 18, thank goodness I graduated high school first, but i straight up told my mom that i missed my period, and she took me to the health department to find out the facts. I was indeed pregnant, and she was disappointed, and she cried, and she gave me a lecture, and it was a really emotional time. but after a while she started to get excited, and now all she talks about is my baby.

I can't stress to you strongly enough that you should go get some books on pregnancy, baby care, and breast feeding (if you're going to nurse). Read everything you can to prepare yourself on what to expect in your pregnancy and delivery as well as how to take good care of your baby. I can't tell you how many people deliver their babies and then expect the nurses to teach them everything in a couple of days. That isn't realistic. The more you know, the less you'll be afraid. You'll be a good mom because you WANT to. Congratulations!

EVERYONE feels like this, because almost everyone begins to understand, once they are pregnant, what a demanding and important job it is, to have a child and raise them well.
Make sure your idea of "a good enough life" is realistic. "Good enough" doesn't mean "the best of everything." As long as your child is loved, disciplined, and educated to the best of his ability, you've done the best you can. You'll make mistakes -- we all did and still do, because we aren't perfect and neither are our children. But you learn, and you go on.

The feelings come and go with pregnancy. You always are wondering, am I going to be a good mom? Will I make them happy? Will I be able to care for them like they want me to? Those all came with my first, and now I know what I did wrong with my son and I know what I'm going to do different for this new baby! Good Luck!

Yes. I feel that way. And its weird because Ive wanted a baby my whole life but now that its happening, Im scared! I dont get it. I think its normal and its hormones. You can do it, trust me. Just believe in yourself and take this time to prepare by reading books and searching information online. Thats what Ive been doing and I am feeling better prepared.

Dear Sam, Parenting is intuitive & u wl definitely do well. Just give as much attention to the baby (get all the help u need too) to help her/him grow into a strong individual. U wl know what NOT to do, from ur own experience & others'... so, go on & create the ideal (according to u) environment for ur child !!

I think everyone has feelings like this. Sometimes I feel like I am not a good enough mom, even though my husband and his friends say how well-behaved and happy our son is. Just do the best you can. Everything will work out.

sweetheart weALL feel like that when pregnant. You will be an excellent mum, just u writing this tells me. Age has nothing to do with whether u can care for your little one, its to do with who u are and u sound like a great mum already. Don't fret, u will be absolutely great at it. Good luck to you and believe in yourself. Its going to be a lucky little baby xx
