I was on the shot right after I had my first kid I was on it for 4 years and I never had a perid so it worried me that I might not ever have one ever again so I got off it and it took 9 moths to have a period again after getting off the shot and yes it was unplaned we have had sex many many times when I was having period and I didn't think I could ever get pregnant again and I know its not my moms place to raise my kid but I have no help I'm all all e in something I didn't think could happen its bad enough the dad dont want nothing to do with it I just want comfort and support   and I dont have none of that I feel depressed

I understand why you're worried about telling your mom. You already have one child and you're living with your mom. Please don't think I'm being harsh but it's not your moms responsibility to take care of you and your children.
You can get birth control for free at any women's clinic so I don't believe any pregnancy is an accident. It's as easy as going to the clinic and getting condoms, the shot, the implant or pills.
I would recommend having a plan for you and your children. Think about getting in to school, if you're not already in school. You can learn a trade. You can go after the father for child support but that rarely works out. If he has no job they can't get any money out of him. The child you already have should be eligible for daycare and as long as you're having a healthy pregnancy you can get a part time job and do your schooling on the computer at night.
I believe your mom cares about you. Moms have had children so they already know what a hard job it is to raise them.
We're here to support you and give you advice. This is your responsibility though and not your mom's so she might be very upset. It's best to tell her soon and get it over with.

I recently told my mom.  I also thought she was going to flip on me , I live in her house too. We were in the car and I just gave her my folder I had with all my information in it.  The ultrasound, my doctors notes , my next doctor visit. She kind of knew something was up because she noticed me acting differently. Always tired , eating alot , mood swings , etc. So she didn't act how I thought she would it was actually a relief.  I think you should just sit down with her and let her know. It might not be as bad as you think it is going to be.  Good luck!
