Again, you should do what is best for you.  I think it is awful hard to raise kids and I was an adult that was financially stable, emotionally secure, had a husband, a home and the pregnancies were planned.  Parenthood is hard.  Pregnancy is the easy part.  good luck

I went to a free clinic and got an ultrasound. When I got home I walked in and showed the pictures to my mom. I cried and she cried and everything was okay.
It has beeb hard but nothing else is more precious than having a baby.

Im 15.
I hid it from my mom for 12 weeks.
I was considering abortion, ny boyfriend and sister both were pushing me to.
But its easy for them, the baby isnt inside them. To me, abortion is wrong. And I almost did it. I had so much to lose being pregnant. I had pilot training, rotc, orchestra, agriculture raising a horse.
But when I told my mom, she showed me my life isnt over. After I have the baby. Im going back to pilot training, im still in rotc and still have my horse, I still am in the orchestra and I am still going to school.
Im no lobger with the babys father. He was on board at first but bailed.
But I never regret anything. I will have a son in two short months. No one will love me more than him, and ill love no one more than him. I feel like having him, nothing can hurt me and nothing matters except raising him to be a good successful person.
I wanna show him the world, share all my interests and loves and help him find his own. If I aborted him, id never have this love and happiness, and I wouldn't have his father either, he would have left me eitger way, because some one whos gonna stay wont ask you or threaten you to kill your baby.

Tell her
She loves you more than you can imagine
You might just be surprised by how she takes it
I pray that you keep the baby
It will be hard at first but you'd be glad you did
You and your little one will be in my prayers
God bless

No one is going to judge you sweetie.  Things in life happen.  Yes, birth control should be used to protect us from this when it is not a good time to have a baby (as in when you can't support the baby and aren't in a strong relationship with someone that would like to start a family with you) but what's happened has happened.

I guess you'll need to really think about your choices.  Are you thinking about abortion too?  No one can make you if you are not.  And it is an option available if you are.  And sometimes it works out best for someone to have one.  YOUR choice though.

And there is adoption.  This is really beautiful as it gives a couple a chance to have a baby they can't otherwise have.  It can be an open adoption and you can then know the baby and feel secure they are having a great life with couple in a position to care for him or her.  

Or you can keep the baby.  Yep, your mom will need to be a big part of that as you are a child yourself and rely on her for your own care and financial support.  I think if you are thinking about this option, when you talk to her, you need to have thought out some of the particulars like how you'll go to school, how you'll take care of baby, telling her that you are prepared for the responsibility and basically giving up what most girls your age are doing (being a bit carefree without serious responsibility, going out on Friday night with friends, etc.)  If you have some things thought out, it will go better when you tell her.

she may be upset and you must try to understand.  Most moms hope that their kids will go to college, begin a strong adult life on their own before becoming a parent and it will also mean more for her to take on in her own life.  She'll be your parent but play a strategic role with the baby too.  So, be understanding about this.  

Parents do often come around over time and she may surprise you about how she takes it.  I'd give her a chance.  And she may have some good insight for you to factor into what your choice about the baby is.  good luck

The best thing to do is just tell her she will probably be mad at first but talk to her about what you would want to do. Don't listen to your boyfriend there are other ways you could put the baby up for adoption to people who cannot have children of their own if you do want to keep it I hate to say this but if your boyfriend wants you to get an abortion do not be surprised if you keep the baby that he will not be there. If your not ready and you know it then like I said there is always adoption.
