I was 15 when I got pregnant with my son and yes it was disappointing but I knew it would be ok. I told my grandma like nothing. The one person that I was afraid of disappointing was my grandpa. He cried when I told him and begged me that if I was going to keep the my baby I had to promise him that I would graduate from high school. 2 1/2 years later I graduated early and my papa was so proud. Getting pregnant young is not the end of the world. Although it may feel like it at the time. Just be honest...she might be upset at first but I promise you she will forgive you because she loves you. I would tell her in person. Or write the letter and read it to her. I would feel like a coward if I didnt do it in person. But thats me. Best of luck to you!

I'm 19 and pregnant with my first baby. I'm the baby of the family and the only one without kids (same as my boyfriend who is 24). I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks and I didn't wanna tell anyone yet other than my boyfriend and sister cuz I thought everyone would be pissed but my boyfriend told his mom just to **** her off cuz she hates me and I knew if I didn't tell my mom, his mom would. So I went to visit her and I just calmly said 'you're gonna be a grandma again' and she said 'oh s***, who's pregnant now?' And I told her it was me and expected the worst. She walked over to me and gave me a high five and started crying, saying 'my baby is having a baby!' Lol it was not the response I had expected. She calls like twice a week to ask how me and the baby are doing :)

Honestly, I think a letter is a great option. Try to sound confident and have a plan for your future in motion mentioned. You don't get a repeat of what you're going to say, so thinking it out, writing it and rereading it is a great option. I would definitely give it to her yourself in person, but I would NOT text.. That shows immaturity and NOT what you want her to think of you right now. I was 17 when I had my first, working and had a plan for college, let her know it was an accident, and you should've been more responsible, and that you plan on having a good future regardless. It's best to tell her as soon as possible, and if you honestly don't think you can say it in person, write her a letter.

Is there a reason you cant do it in person? And If you cant do it in person because she lives in another state or something then calling would be best. Not a letter and I really Dont think a text is a good option. But you do what you feel is best, Dont just choose a way.to tell her because you feel its easiest, its time to take some responsibility and the First step would be owning up to your actions! I bet its hard but nothing about teen pregnancy is easy hunny.  Good luck with telling your mom and congrats on the pregnancy!

I was 14 with my first and before I could even say anything my mom found piece of the wrapper from the test. She was mad just upset but more scared of my dad. I didn't tell my dad till I was 4 months and he even threatened to push me down the stairs and im a ***** and beed to get an abortion but he regrets saying everything and I'm now pregnant with baby number 2 ad I'm 21 and he's very proud of me. Just remember she's your mother she will be mad but will always love you

I'm 19 and I was very scared to tell my mother. But I went up to her, with my bf (who lives with us), he sat down and me and my mother were standing up. I said, Mom theres something I need to tell you. And shes like, what your pregnant? and starts laughing. Me and my bf glance at each other then back and her and go.. actually yes. And she stops laughing and says, Seriously? And we nod and do an awkward chuckle and she bursts into tears and goes online and starts shopping for baby things.... Lol.

It was honestly the opposite reaction of what we were expecting.. my mother isn't the nicest person in the world and we dont get along the best so we were expecting a tongue lashing at least! But nope lol. So i suggest doing it to get it over with cause you never know how it will go.

I was 14 with my first one I am 17 now and just had a baby girl I am about to get married.. The best way to tell her is to sit her down and just talk with her abou it yeah she might be very upset at first but she will end up bing happy just let her in the delivery room when u have the baby trust me you would want your mother in there

I was 15 the first time i got pregnant. i was living with my dad and stepmom. she knew before i did cause she said i always asked for tampons to be put on the grocery list and two extra weeks went by without me asking. i felt like i could tell her and i did. my dad hated me for years. my mom was ok. I'm 20 now and prego with my second and everything fine now. some just take longer than others to come around

I was 17 with my first. It was hard. I sat down and just told her. Don't expect her to be happy right away. My mom told me to hit my knees and pray for a miscarriage. She still apologizes for that till this day. And it still hurts she sd it. It's not gonna be easy but you have to tell her. After a few weeks she got excited and started making lists of things we needed. I'm 30 now. Married. I have two boys and a littlegirl on the way. I own my house car paid off and am in school. She is very proud of me and I see getting pregnant so young as saving me cause a lot of my friends went down the wrong path if drugs and many have lost their lives. He gave me a reason to succeed.
