well if she plans on keeping it... then its a no brainer.. she made her decision, just tell her.. flat out. there is really no wrong way. "mom, i have something to tell you, I just want to let you know that i have already made a decision, and that i love you and need to to be here for me. im having a baby"

Its easy for you to say that. But her mom wont take it easy especially when she is in the process of getting her ready for university. Thanks

I can really understyand.. Believe me. I got Pregnant at a early age.. and my father is a very, VERY srtict man. If i look at myself beck then.. i think to myself "i cant believe you told him" but i had made me decision already. and the more you wait... it only hurts yourself. ididnt want to come off rude or anything. But her mom will HAVE to get over it. i know it will be hard... but i promise once its out in th open... will your friend feel relieved = ) goodluck!

You are right. Its best she just make up her mind and tell her mom because the longer she waits the harder its gonna be. Most if not all parents are strict and in a situation like this the most they will do is get angry with you for awhile.

I had to tell my mom that. I was 17 just starting my senior year in high school. There is no right way or easy way. You have to just do it. My mom cried, it broke my heart. But things worked out. I finished school, got a job, got my own place. Now my son is 27 yrs. old with 3 sons of his own.

My experience as a mom is, first let her be sitting down and with nothing to drink or eat (no since in having to call 911 is there) and just telling it like it is. Be an adult and tell her mom what it is she plans to do about it or say mom I need your help. Better now than later because there is a lot to her prenatal care that is very important if she plans on having this baby. Stay by her side I'm sure she will need her best friend too!!!

I was afraid to tell my mom too, i am still in university and not married, but one day i just told her and i was suprised by her reaction she was so happy for me... i totally thought she was gonna be mad and call me irresponsible...
