I'm 18 And Pregnant And I Don't Know How To Tell My Mom. How Should I Tell Her ?

Your mom is going to find out very soon so it's better to tell her as soon as you can.
Most mothers will be shocked, suprised, sad, disappointed and a whole range of other emotions but remember she is your mother and she loves you. If you are finding it difficult to approach her can you have a word with a doctor or pregnancy advice councillor who will help you go over some of the things that will be worrying you at the moment.? Are you in a strong, supportive relationship? If so perhaps you can ask your partner to be with you when you tell her? Do you have a brother or sister or close friend or relation who'll support you when you tell your mom?
Although you are young, you are also an adult and have the right to make your own decisions but you do need the loving support of your family.
Tell her before someone else does and make sure you get the proper maternity care you and your baby deserve. Being a young Mother can be tough but your baby will be a wonderful little person and of course a grandchild your Mom can love and hopefully help care for if you need her to. Very Best of Luck

Sooner or later the thing is going to be found out. So be fast but not furious. If you are friends, I mean (you and your mother) things are going to be less tough but as for expecting the other side; you have to develop in yourself a new kind of personality and new responsibility. You have to reconcile the matter with yourself first and try to heal the situation. The least actions to resort to is to go for an abortion if things are messed up of course under the care and attention of your mother. In both cases; I recommend that you MUST resort to her advice and honesty.

It's a very difficult thing to do.
Be prepared for what you might expect. And what you might not.
Prepare yourself.

You have to see a doctor.
Maybe see a doctor first and talk to them.

There isn't no easy way to tell your mom that your pregnant. I know alot of things are going in and out of your mind right now because you're scared. Which is quite normal. Don't keep on waiting it out, tell her as soon as possible because the sooner you tell her the more pressure it is off of you. Even though she may be disappointed in you at the time, i'm sure it will pass and she will support you through your whole pregnancy. Just be honest with her and tell her that you need her to be ur friend, not a mother right now....Meaning, get her to listen while you talk. I hope all will work out for you...Good luck to you and your baby!

I know that has got to be a very difficult thing to do but you should just go up to her and say " mom I have something very important to say and there is no easy way to say it but I'm trying to be real mature and I'd rather it come from my mouth before you heard it from someone else..I'm pregnant" and sure she will cry and prolly be a little upset but remember your mom was once a teenager to and she will understand and still love you no matter what just be honest and hug her and tell her how much u love her good luck!
