Been there done that! I had to tell my Mom I was pregnant when I was 15. I was scared to death and wasn't sure how I was going to do it. My boyfriend was bound and determined to be there when I told her. He was going to tell her alone if I didn't make the plans to do it. We went and told my Aunt, my Mom's sister that I was pregnant. Since my Dad was usually drunk and violent, we decided to tell my Mom at my Aunts. My Aunt called my Mom and had her come over the next day. When my Mom saw me and my boyfriend at my Aunts' she suspected something was up. Believe it or not, my boyfriend told my Mom we were going to have a baby. She started crying and was really upset, but not about us having a baby. My Mom was more upset about how she was going to tell my Dad about this. My Dad was really upset, and threw me out of the house. My boyfriend and I wanted to get married, so my Mom signed for us to get married. We had a baby boy, and stayed married for 12 years.
Telling your Mom will not be an easy thing to do, but get it over with so you can settle down. Being emotionally upset all the time is not good for you or the baby. Your Mom may be a little angry or upset with you, but as others have said a Mothers' love is unconditional.

Just like that. Trust me.......any way you try to set up the scenario........she will smell it coming. Just do it. When you are alone with her. Accept that she is going to be upset. That is of course if your a teen. Accept that she may cry, be angry....what ever. She is allowed those feelings. Her little girl is pregnant and that is not something a parent wants to hear because we know what a can of worms that is. So dont be offended by her reaction. If it is a negative reaction, simply wait awhile. Give her some time to let it settle in. She may dive off the deep end and threaten to kick you out etc but they usually get over that with time. Or she may hold you in her arms and cry for you . Just tell her. There is no easy or painless way to do it.

If the father of the baby is in the picture, get him to be with you when you tell her. She may be upset, cry, scream; but she will be on your side after she gets over the shock. I work with teen moms all the time and that has been my experience.
Are you sure you are pregnant? Have you seen a doctor to get an official pregnancy test? Have you started prenatal care? Have you decided to have and keep the baby?

i would say do your home work first. think about what you want for you. DONT THINK YOUR LIFE IS OVER cuz it not. i had a baby at 14 and i am a engineer and graduated on time from high school. one you write out your pros can cons of all the things you want to do sit down and tell her. 99% of parents just want there children to do better then they did. and we all should understand that every one makes mistakes. it's not how or why you fall when your walking but how long it takes for you to get up and how you learn from the fall. ONCE AGAIN IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!!! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP

Just tell her hun. A mothers love is unconditional and though she may seem upset, she loves you. You are her little girl and I am sure that if you give her some space, she will be there to support you every step of the way. I wish you all the best and look after that baby ok?

Yikes. Hard question. I'd assume you're young, or younger than 20 or so.
It's going to be hard. but just sit her down & let her know that you made a mistake (i'm assuming this wasn't planned) and that you really regret it but it's something you're gong to have to live with now.
She may be sad/mad/angry whatever but she WILL get over it and I'm sure she'll help you out as much as she can
THE SOONER THE BETTER.

Well depends on how old you are? But I would just sit her down and tell her straight out

How old are you? I think this is major factor because moms will react differently.
