She's going be so disappointed

[IThink_ICan]

Hello,

So I'm pregnant and I haven't told my mom. I know she's going be disappointed and I can't break her heart. But I've decided I want my baby. I am 23 and expected to graduate college in 3 weeks. I moved home last September after a domestic violence situation; not my child's father by the way lol. I am employed and currently looking for another job. I've applied to an apt last week so I can not live here when I tell her. I know she will want me to abort and I'm tired of crying over my decision. How did your parents react? How should I break news?

Break the news in person that's for sure. My parents still aren't happy about it and I had to move back in with them :( good luck and just remain calm. Oh and dont let someone else break the news to her, that is a very bad idea. Mine got told behind my back

You should tell her about how first you are grown up, got a job, graduating college. You are an adult and that you love this baby. And how its your choice and not hers. And if you want to have your mother in the babies life she will have to accept that your pregnant. Because you can't be stressed during it.

I wish you the best of luck and hope to hear good news on telling her :) babies are amazing!!

You're a woman not a little girl, your mom can be dissapointed all she wants, but shes going to have to face it. Congrats btw :)

She will be disappointed  now but TRUST me when the baby gets here she's gonna be super excited and think it's her baby!! Just stay strong and remember she WILL GET OVER IT!

I'm not really sure what'd I'd do in your situation. My parents and my in laws are very excited and have been since day one, and I'm only 19. I'm still in school and my family couldn't be more supportive. I hope your mom surprises you and is actually really happy for you. Sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders! Congrats on graduating!

Ur an adult who cares do what's best for you and baby plus mom never stop loving you she'll get over it my mom did in like 5 min lol when I got pregnant the first time wit my daughter but I was an adult then made my own decision and it didn't matter but I think it might bring u even closer and have a awesome mom n daughter bond

[IThink_ICan]

That's what I'm praying for. I can't do this alone and I need her to realize that and just be supportive. I should have probably mentioned I am the oldest of 6 the youngest 2 being 5 and 18, 3 girls and 3boys,  and both my sisters had to abort because they were young when they got pregnant.

Hi I'm kinda in the same situation.  I'm 23 in college but graduate next May, working and have my own place but since I've found out I'm pregnant I've been back at my mom's.  I haven't told her just yet cause I'm also afraid of her reactions. But it's best to tell her on your own which I'm still undecided just yet lol but. Good luck btw I'm 6 wks 3days

[IThink_ICan]

Oh I'm 4 weeks and 3 days. Thanks to implantation bleeding I figured it out 2 weeks after sex. The line was so faint on the home tesy I prayed for an expired test or a malfunction lol

Being a mother myself, I can't fathom the idea of urging a mature young adult to have an abortion. Whether or not you are still with the father, whether or not you were about typo graduate. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and you're not going to be stupid and treat the baby badly our let him/her grow up deprived simply because you were on the young side.
I was nineteen when I had my first and I have been a good mother. I've stayed home with her, I nursed her for over a year, I have given her love, discipline, and an age appropriate routine. Age has very little to do with success when it comes to parenting. I've known a girl that had her first baby at fifteen. That 'baby' is about to graduate high school with an associate's degree. I also know a thirty year old that is no where near ready to be a parent.
Best of luck to you and baby.

I did not tell my mom until I was 18 weeks! Its so much better to get it off your shoulders, also mom's are usually more understanding
