15 & Pregnant!

I am 9 weeks, I've been knowing since I was 4 weeks..  I never told anyone yet except my boyfriend. I was wondering what is the best way to tell my mom. Im not good at saying things like this. I wanted to text her, but I dont know if that would make it worse? Helppppp!!!!

Not to be "that girl" but this forum is for 18+, not because your unwelcome or anything but your body has not finished developing and the advice you get here might not actually be the advice you really need. I was 17 with my first child and had horrible complications because my body just wasn't ready to have a baby, just be careful and double check what you hear on this forum with your doctor just to make sure its something that'll work for you and your body with your age. Once again not trying to be a jerk face, just hope you know its SOoooooo different being pregnant when your older and more developed. :) best wishes with your process!

It's going to be hard, but like everyone else has said, you need to tell her, in person and as soon as possible. It's for the good of your baby. You need prenatal vitamins and to start going to the doctor. It will be hard but just try to remain calm and to breathe. You'll do great. :)

I'm 15 also, I wasn't sure if I was so I told her I need a pregnancy test. She bought me a two pack they both came out positive and I showed her the next morning I'm 30 weeks tomorrow and won't be 16 until almost two months after my son is born, message me if you'd like and good luck!

Please don't text it. No matter what you will have to see her afterwords and I think it will make it much worse. I know it's scary but these things happen and your mother loves you I'm sure.

I was pregnant at 15, my mom already knew. She cried when i actually told her and she hugged me and told me she already knew, so we cried together. A mom knows these things yes it will be hard but i will tell you, through out the pregnancy youre going to need your mom. My sons gonna be 6 in july and is about to have a baby sister im 22 now and i still want and need my mommy with this pregnancy.

When I was 17 I gave my dad a letter before I went to school. The first reaction is the worst but when I got home he was loving and supportive. But once we told my mom she stopped talking to me. She came around in about 3 weeks. Its hard but they need to know and remember it will get better.

I'm 16 and 25weeks. You can message me any time you want to. Honestly tell her how your feeling. I had to tell my dad, not my mom .. but its still hard. Be straight up and it might go rough at first but they'll warm up to the idea and the baby. You got this! :)

When I was 16 and pregnant I was scared to tell my momma so I had me her and my big sister sit down and my big sister told her for me... so if you have a older cousin or sister u can talk to and close with y'all should try telling her together

I'm 15 also & I am 19 weeks. I had my sister tell her over texts and I'm glad I did it that way. My mom cried but said she loves me so much and she will always be there. Tell her in a way you feel comfortable with.

I'm 16 almost 17 , Ill be 37 weeks tomorrow. My boyfriend told my mom that I was pregnant by showing her the Pregnancy test.  It was easier for me because I didn't have to say it,  & it went alot smoother.

You should talk face to face with her and just try to explain it to her i was pregnant when i was 16 nine years ago but i was too scared so i had my sister tell her for me i think that made it worst because she felt like I couldn't talk to her which hurt her feelings

Go shopping and then tell her over lunch or something. Youre going to be a mom which pushes you to be an adult so its best to act like one and there will be lots of tough conversations ahead. Just remember that your mom was your age once, it might take some time but she will understand. Give her time to get used to the idea though, she might not be thrilled at first.

I wouldn't text her. There are some things that are just better if you do them in person. It will be hard, but the best thing is just to be honest and throw it out there. I wouldn't wait too long either. Don't get discouraged if she is mad at first. I'm 20 and my mom was in shock. It didn't take her long to warm up to the idea though. I had my baby 6 days ago and she is so in love with him. Good luck, sweetheart. Congratulations!

I know it seems hard but she's your mom. Dont text her just sit her down just the two if you and tell her your pregnant. Pregnancy isn't easy and you will probably need her alot more during this pregnancy so just be honest with her. What's done is done and its not gonna go away so just get it over with. The sooner the better for you and her.
