how did you tell your mom that you're pregnant?

Thanks for the smile! So your bf Got you preg? Damn, eh? That was funny! I was wondering if you were there when he did it. Or did he just slip it in when you weren't looking.(giggles) Anyway you were 19! Thats plenty old enough to be your own Woman. Why bother to tell mom anyway? If she had been on the bit, she would have called you with her "Congratulations."

I was 17 when I got pregnant and so my boyfriend and I decide to marry, I was living with my Dad and his wife at that time. I made a special dinner for my Dad and invited the boyfriend, we told him. He was an attorney and so put on a good act of acceptance. Next we told his wife, who was out of town, she was supportive. We did not tell my Mom until after we were married. For that we took her out to lunch and told her in a public place, we didn't mention the baby at that time. Being in public she did not throw the fit that we knew she would in private. Looking back we did not handle this in the kindest way but we all out grew it and had a wonderful baby girl.

I found out I was pregnant a week or two before graduation for high school. I found out on the friday before mothers day. It was hard to take my mother and grandmother out for breakfast that sunday knowing I was now a mother as well. When we got home and dropped my grandma off i said 'mom I have to tell you something'. Considering I was still in denial I used the words i think. So I said ' I think im pregnant'. She was shocked and a little upset, but today she loves my son and is grateful to have him.

i was 8 months pregnant when i learned that i was pregnant. when i announced it to mom she was very excited. and she gave me a lot of advises on how to take good care of the baby. ann

I called her on the phone and just told her. Being as I was about to be a mom, it is what I would want my kid to do. My sister didnt tell our parents with either of her kids until she started showing and they pretty much guessed it. It hurt their feeling that she couldnt be an adult and just tell them. Sure they might be upset but a baby is a blessing. Who could stay mad when the baby is born and they become Grandparents.

I was also nineteen when I told my folks about our first. We came right out and said it because we knew it would be bad if we waited. Well my father went on a lecture about how I always do good things at bad times and my mother said she was going to vomit and walked out. It took several weeks for her to even acknowledge me again. I mean now she loves my kids but she has her opinions and in her mind I was a disgrace because although engaged and living with my then soon to be hubby we where knocked up. Oh well all worked out now though if brought up she goes on about how I am going to hell.

I was married and 23 when I had mine lol so no need for explaining or trying to tell her, I was 26 when I had my second one I am so glad though that it worked out all very well for you

My parents thought it was a little soon for me and my hubby to be having children but they were happy about it. I had the first grand-daughter in the family. She was a wonderful surprise. I was on the ring. I found out when I was already 3 months into my pregnancy. She has brought us so much joy. She is almost 2. Her grandparents spoil her rotten;-)

When I got pregnant I was a freshmen in high school and the first person I told was my best friend. After I told my best frined I told my boyfriend and my unclest step daughter that told me that she was going to be there when I told my mom so she can help. I was so scared to tell my mom that I liked the idea but after my moms reaction I regreted letting her be there with me. I was vearly going to tell her when she tells my mom "ok your daughter is pregnant and she might be two month" can you imagine. She did not even let it out easy it was just like that. So my mom got so mad that she wanted to hit me but cousin started screaming at her not to do it or she was going to call the cops so that made it worst. My mom told her to get out from her house and that she knew what she will do with her daughter and many other things that I rather not say. But after my cousin left my mom was really mad but she talked to me and told me that I was the one that had to tell her not anyone eals. And yes she kept screaming at me for a long time even after I could not talk because I was crying. But now my daughter is 11 and she loves and I know it because my daugter also loves her. And with my second baby is was ok since I was 25 and all she told me was "are you ready", yes my mom can be cold some times.

I dont know, I am a guy.Sorry for you.

I'm glad it worked out for you, I think it's great that your parents are in your daughter's life. It's important for children to have grandparents and others in their lives. You're very lucky to have your parents around, some wouldn't be there for their kids.

I think it was hard time to speak with whoever in that time.I believe if i was you.I was very serious.I think you were brave to tell your mom.For me i will do alike you too.You were a good mom.

incredibleDNA, I did not tell my mum too when I got pregnant. I go through it myself, with some friends giving the morale support. The father of the child just care less if I am doing well in my pregnancy or not. My mum found out right before the CNY, and was confronting me during the 1st day of CNY with the rest of my other family members. Well, now the baby is 5 months old, and we are happy of this new addition members to the family.

i'm not so lucky as you because when i was pregnant my mom had passed away for 2 years . i really want her to know this and want her to see my lovely boy .

That was one of the hardest things I ever had to tell my mom. I was just 17 years old, just started my senior year in high school. I just blirted it out, I really felt bad too. She sat there on the couch and cried. I did finish school, I got a job, moved out on my own. My son is now 30 years old and I am a gramma.

i was 17 when i had my first child. I don't remember being afaid to tell my mother. I just told her. she was not happy, but she was not mad either. today my son is 19 and just finished his first year in college. my mother has since passed on, but i know she is proud for the choice i made to have my son.

Hello, It sound like not a big trouble at all... since like it is a happy ending, great for you. I got pregnant when I was 20 and was not married yet at the time... I didn't really want my mom to know and we wanted to keep as a secret until we have the baby. my parents live in different country so they will not know how I look either. so, when I became 9 months, my mom came to visit... there!!! she was shock and happy for us. I thought I will get the blame or something but then it turns out to be good. Now, Im married and also have another child as well.

I've never been pregnant so havent had to tell my parents this. However I had a friend in highschool who hid her pregnancy until she had to go in for delivering the baby - she even lived with her parents. They were VERY VERY hurt by the fact that she didnt tell them. (I can see her being scared to tell them at the age of 17 but to put it off that long...it really would have bugged me). I also have one friend who's girlfriend (again the way it was done hurt parents) was telling people on Facebook that she was pregnant with their third child but they hadnt told their families yet. My mom saw it on facebook and called her friend to congratulate her on the upcoming third grandchild and she had NO CLUE. Needless to say that if you dont want things to get around then dont post it on facebook or any other social networking site because it will get around offline too.

when i told my mom i was pregnant i didnt kno i was pregnant..i told her all the symtems i was feeling and she took me to the doctor and she told me i was pregnant and didnt tell my mom what happend at the doctors office until 3weeks later
