You have to tell her that you done a pregnancy test and it was positive, she will be very angry and tell you how you have wasted your life etc but she will calm down, she will not throw you out, she will be disgusted and ashamed but there is nothing you can do now, tell her before she buys the vitamin pills as there is certain ones you cannot take during pregnancy and just because she had miscarriages it doesn't mean you will. My mum had 3 miscarriages and I had none and i was one of those mums that found out her teenage daughter was pregnant and I was very angry but I didn't throw her out, she is now married and I have 2 fantastic grandchildren. Good Luck
If your two months late, and your test was postive, You ARE pregnant! You need prenatal care as soon as possible to make sure that the baby is ok, and you need to be put on prenatal vitamins and folic acid to help reduce the chance of miscarriage. My best friends mom miscarried her first baby, then had 4 kids. My best friend got pregnant and was 12 weeks along, she miscarried as well. Just sit your mom down and tell her, "Mom, I have to tell you that I took a pregnancy test, and it was positive, I'm scared and need your support". I think since she had miscarriages and you are her only child that she will be supportive. It's painful losing a baby, and i'm sure she hasn't gotten over all of the miscarriages either. You just gotta be brave and tell her. I was so scared when I got pregnant with my lil boy. I told my cousin's GF and she was supposed to keep it a secret but ended up telling everyone in my family, so I didn't have to break the news...everyone was ok with it and I ended up being so excited and so ready to be a mommy. I was 10 weeks along by the time I got prenatal care and my baby ended up having an extremely rare birth defect and passed away the day after I had him. I blame myself for not going to the dr sooner. It's definetly the hardest thing i've ever had to go through... I hope your mom reacts the way I think she will, and that your baby is healthy... Good Luck Mommy! Congrats!!
Just because your mother had miscarriages does not mean you are at risk of having them. If you are under 18, which I'm pretty sure you are, legally your mother can not kick you out. If she tries to all you have to do is call the police and they will tell her she can't make you leave. While you are under 18 she is 100% responsible for you and everything that happens to you and is required to support you. The best thing for you to do is tell her to her face when no one else is around. It might not be as bad as you think. The longer you try to hide it from her the more she might be disappointed in you for not being honest and upfront about it. You never know, she might even be excited about the baby, probably just upset about the timing. Good luck!
Just sit her down and tell her, i had to do the same thing not too long ago and i thought it was gonna be alot harder than it really was but i did and it felt so much better to get it off my chest cos carrying a secret that big for so long is stressful. i would also say the sooner the better. Miscarriages arent hereditary. Your dr will also be able to monitor the baby to make sure your chance of miscarriage is low.
Sit her down. And say that you dont want her to be angry or upset, and that she is your mum and you need her. Then say that you have missed your period etc and think you might be pregnant. Stay calm, keep an open mind, and whatever you do, don't get into an argument with her. She may be angry, but it will just be out of concern, you have to understand how she will feel. Just let it sink in for her ok, then see what happens.
