I was just 16 when I was pregnant with my first. My mom was angry at first. She told me I ruined my life, etc. But then after just a day of seething, she jumped into action to make sure I had all the care and supplies I needed. If your mom is as good a mom as you say she is, she will come around. She loves you. I am now 29 years old, pregnant with my fourth, and not married (3 of which have the same father) so I've gone through the act of telling mom four times.

She will come around, I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was 19 weeks. I kept having negative pregnancy test and I went to the doctors and found out I was pregnant.  I was scared to tell my family. When my family found out I was 23 weeks. I'm Now 30 Weeks Pregnant About To Be 31weeks. They were disappointed at first but now they are excited. They will come around sweetie. I'm 22 and this is my first child.

Im sure she will come around to the idea it would just be a massive shock to her especially coz your her little girl and you are growing up. If being pregnant makes you happy then thats all that really matters because in a few months you will be holding a beautiful baby.

I was in the same position you're in. I'm  18 and pregnant with my first.  I was terrified of telling my mom because I knew it would disappoint her, but she ended up becoming very understanding and supportive.  I couldn't help but cry nonstop. I felt relieved that I came out with it though.  Now I can focus on my baby  and getting the proper prenatal care. You'll be okay :) Just don't stress out. It's also good that you have a supportive boyfriend!

That is a very tough situation, especially when your very happy news turns into upsetting news for the family. Try to stay as positive as possible and focus on eating healthy for baby during this time, if u haven't already buy prenatal vitamins to take every day. She is probably still in shock and processing the news, it will take time. But take a healthy interest in your baby and becoming a mother it may show her you are willing and capable of taking on this very important role. When she is ready, suggest family counseling if things are still rocky. Communication will help strengthen your family and encourage her to take on a proactive role in your pregnancy. This should and will be one of the most special moments of ur life, do your best to cherish each day. Also, try to encourage her to go with u to each appointment, attend classes and so forth..it will bond u two and get her excited about the little person inside you. I hope for a happy future for you and ur family..

I remember when I was 2 weeks pregnant (I'm 16 weeks now) I'm 18 & just graduated high school this year. I remember when I told my mom she was disappointed too. But hey! What can you do? All you can do now is focus on things for the baby because its not just about you now. Your mom is gonna come around dont worry. That's gonna be her grandchild :) And your boyfriend is right. Being stressed out and having negative energy isn't good for the baby at all so try staying as positive as you can.

How long ago did you tell her? Is she just disappointed?  Or is she mad?
