How do I tell my Mom that I'm pregnant?

Im 15 years old and im around 5 1/2 months pregnant.. but im scared to tell my mom, because she has a bad drinking problem and i dont want her to drink more because of me. And if i tell her then she’ll tell my older brother and i’ll go through emotional abuse from him. I dont know what to do..

Answer #1

You chose to act like an adult, now you must be an ‘Adult’..meet with both and tell them - they’ll know sooner or later anyway - also support will kick in..it won’t be easy but you can do it..Remember the No. 1 issue here is ‘ do what is best for this BABY’..Adoption to an established, Loving family would be a great choice..I wish you the best and hope you’ll make better choices in your future.

Answer #2

Just come right out and tell her. She might be angry, but that’s the chance you’ll have to take. If you want to be sexually active and have a baby, you’ll have to start acting like an adult. That means taking responsibility for your actions. You need to be seeing an ob-gyn often, taking vitamins, and eating well right now anyway.

Answer #3

You will have to tell her, but this brother, just ignore what he says, and raise your child!

Dear s00nxt0xb3, First of all you are not responsible for your mother’s drinking. She makes her own choices. Just as you have made the choice to have sex. Now you need to start being responsible for this choice. You need to talk to a trusted adult and I hope you’ve seen a doctor? If not you need to go NOW. You are responsible for this unborn child’s health as you are of yours. Contact Social Service and Children’s protection both agencies will help you. One choice may be to move out and raise the child on your own, Some other choices you can discuss with your doctor. You need to be pro-active in your life now and start making some tough decisions…but remember there are is a lot of help out there and you must go get it. Sue…good luck

Answer #7

As an old man [58], my answer is this: you have a lot more to worry about regarding the father than your family. Your mother may throw a fit [and she probably will, if she’s a drunk]. The more petinent question is - how does the father [and his family] feel? If your boyfriend and his family support you, get out of your abusive situation. If he [and they] do not, find a support group in your town; ditch every single person in your life; and begin to build your OWN life. It’s not going to be easy. It’s going to be very hard. But anyone who refuses to support or help you is a liability – and you have the rest of your life to live. You have enough to deal with: and to try to talk to people who will only drag you down is a detriment. Bob
