Pregnant and Afraid of Mom

Try giving her a gift that say “worlds greatest grandma”, or something like that.

thank you punkrocker4ever and johanna87, this site is showing me how supportive complete strangers can be…Those are both good ideas.

hmmm… that’s a hard one… try writing it down. everything you want to say to her, and put everything together. She’s going to find out one way or the other. I don’t know what else to say. hope everything turns out okay.

heyy I just found out im pregnant and im 21 and im scared of my father, he found out some how and now im packing and movieng in with my boyfriend. I would say take her out to dinner and tell her but you don’t know how she will react I would say just sit her down and talk to her, don’t let her find out like my dad did

happy to help (^_^)

I understand the cold shoulder from a mom. even though im young, I can understand the hardship of your stress. I think that it is to be worded very carefully. try and sit her down, have her understand where you are coming from, relate to her own past experiences and then tell her. she may even be proud of you and be more than willing to help…just to put your hopes up there PS congrats

You’re a working, well educated adult. Your mother should be proud! And you’d be surprised how happy a mom is to become a grandma! Just tell her! Even if she gets upset at first, she’ll think about it and soon be happy! You can also tell her that you feel positive about becoming a parent because she raised you so well! And that you can’t wait to teach your child what she has taught you! Compliments may help her accept it more and feel confident that your prepared to be a mommy!

Good Luck and Congratulations!

I know what you mean; sitting down with her face to face is VERY hard. however, at least you have someone that you’re in love with to support you; that’s something most of these girls these days don’t have. anyway, I don’t judge people at all; it just aint right. what I think you should do is if you feel comfortable talking on the phone with her, you can try that. you’re not face to face, but you’re still talking. writing a letter, that probably would be a wrong approach; she’ll appreciate it more if you talk to her about it (even if it’s ever the phone). if you need anymore advice or just someone to talk to, I’ll do anything I can to help. good luck and keep smiling :)

You are pregnant, and over the legal age of adulthood. I wouldn’t worry about your mother seeing as how there is nothing she can do but accept you.

If you are scared to tell her, write her a letter or do something subtle to tell her. Dont worry though things always work out. Hell I’m 23 years old and I was still nervous when it came to telling my mother I was pregnant. lol.

You are old enough and you have a good paying job, you are very well capable of taking care of a child. Just relax and tell her. The sooner the better.

Thank you yumiyukai…I hope so too…I do express myself more through writing. Good Idea!
