I was terrified about telling my mom I was pregnant. I'm not married nor in a relationship. So I just knew it would be bad. But I took the paper that said I was pregnant and handed it to her... And it wasn't that bad.

I thought my dad would be disappointed first time round but he was ecstatic. She may surprise you. How old are you if you don't mind me asking :)

Just tell her you have something you need to tell her and just say it. She might not be too happy at first but she'll understand and she'll be there for you and she'll be in love with her little grand baby no matter what. My mom was only mad with me for a short time and she hugged me and comforted me, now she's so excited that she's a grandma! :)

I already have a 21month old son when i found out i was pregnant with my second he was bearly 14 months and i felt like omg my mom is gonna judge me or get mad i felt this way because of how in laws reacted so i was expecting my mom to react the same way... I didn't tell her until i was 20 weeks i didn't look like i was pregnant maybe just gained a little bit but didn't look pregnant since i was losing weight so i kindof took her by surprise i cried when i told her she hugged me and asked me why i was crying and i just told her because we were scared to tell her because we didn't want to feel judged or hurt more by what people were already saying she told me i shouldn't care what they think and just hugged me she was happy and just started asking how i feel how have my appointments gone if everything was going good.... I think i was just glad and releived my mom took it in a good way

I scheduled my appointment in a different town (30 miles away) and asked my mom if she wanted to spend the day there. When she asked what we were going to town for, I dropped the bomb by showing her a photo of my positive test. She got upset, which I did not expect! I thought she would be super happy for me. She has since turned that frown upside down, but my point is no matter how you plan to tell her, her reaction is not part of your plan! Think about how you WANT to tell her, not how you think you should based on her wants.

ts better to tell her now. Dont be afraid shes ur mom and over anything  she loves you.  She will give u a talk about how ur going to raise the bby but at the end of the day she will be happy and excited for you.  I told my bf i was pregnant he immediately told his parents and we all had the talk including my mom and dad. My parents seemed disappointed but because i didnt tell my mother first she got shocked tht i didnt confide in her about my pregnancy. But now she wants to make bby blankets and rubs my bump. Haha.

Yes trust me she is your mother. She will definitely be very upset and maybe not want to talk for a bit but she will get over it and eventually b happy about having a grandchild. That's how it happened every single time with my mom. And you will most definitely get the talk but you will b fine

I cried hysterically before telling both my parents, not because I was upset about being pregnant but because I didn't want to disappoint them that I got pregnant relatively young. Both of them thought something more dramatic happened like a death or something so they ended up being relieved when I said I was pregnant.
