how do i tell my mom that i might be pregnant?

Before you tell your mom.. You or your boyfriend should by a pregnancy test.. Or go to a clinic and have a test done.. Cause you don't want to tell your mom you might be and not be and have any problems with her.. And what it sounds like your boyfriend is over 18 and your mom might send him to jail if she finds out you two are doing it.. Did you miss your time of the month? And if you are not pregnant you should get on the pill, patch or the depo.. And he should wear protection.. At 16 it is hard takin care of a baby.. I am 26 and goin on my third child.. If you want you can email me at underwood80@verizon.net

Baby Girl! I know you probably heard this 20x or more, but please make sure you're preggo or not. There are clinics that offer free pregnancy tests. I am not sure how you're gonna get there. Have someone to stop by a drug store like Walgreen's or CVS Pharmacy, even Wal-Mart and get a test soon. Its possible you could start showing signs of pregnancy, but its just stress. Nausea, vomiting, headaches, crazy cravings, and stress can even make your period to come late. I hope you are not preggo, just so you can have that 2nd chance to do things right. I know the 3 lettered "s" word feels good, but try your best to refrain from it. Yes, there are birth controlling methods you could try, but all are at your own risk. From those birth controls there has been young & old women that either died from it or experiencing sadness like cancer. Some had to undergo hysterectomy. You don't wanna go through that. You already know about what you would have to go through being a young parent. And how in the world would your mother get you thrown in jail? Is that some new law, cuz i never heard of it.

Well, you're not going to go to jail because you're pregnant. (Unless your boyfriend is like 13.) Also--she can not deny your boyfriend the right to see his baby. It's his child, and he has legal rights. Period. Now...to handle telling her:

Step 1--Find out for sure. Take a test. You can get them at any drug store. If you're not even pregnant, then you can save yourself a lot of stress because you won't have to deal with telling her anything. If it's positive, then you might want to make sure to have a plan in place about how you want to deal with this situation. Do you want to keep the baby? Give it up for adoption? Have an abortion? Then you're just going to have to bite the bullet, and tell her. You have no choice. Hopefully, throwing you out of the house was just a threat, and she won't actually do it, but just in case, have a plan in place there, too. Can you stay with your boyfriend? Will his family take you in? Another relative? Is there a home for mothers near you anywhere that you can go? Third step, get yourself a really good job, work your butt off and finish school. If you're planning on keeping this baby, then you've got a LOT of hard work ahead of you if you don't want to wind up living below the poverty level. At your age, keeping your baby probably isn't the best decision--and I mean that more for the baby's sake than yours. Ultimately, it is your decision, though. Just make sure you are going to be able to support and take care of this baby if you do decide to keep it. You would be doing your helpless child a grave injustice if you keep it just to meet your own needs.

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck.

AWW how sad that your mother said this to you! Some parents who are lucky enough to have a daughter need to think, some of us have only been blessed with boys.

First thing make sure you are pregnant. Go get the testing done etc. If you are then see what the father has to say. Maybe he will help with housing etc. Hopefully his parents would be like me and more then happy to have a grand baby around! Do not count on it though...

Unless your b/f is over 18 and your mother presses charges will the cops be called in. You will not go to jail.

Hopefully you are not pregnant. After this be very careful! I have told my boys since they were big enough to understand that if they get a girl pregnant they will help with that child, period! Oh and I get to see the baby too :0)

First find out if you are pregnant. Look in the phone book or online for family planning and/or crisis pregnancy centers. If you are pregnant and are going to have the baby you need to have medical check ups, vitamins etc. There are advocacy groups that can help you tell your mother and laws protecting you and your child from neglect and abuse. You have to understand why your mother would be upset. That you could potentialy be pregnant at 16 shows a lack of responsability but then you are still a kid and that how kids are. You need to be thinking from this moment on how you are going to do things right. God bless you on this journey.

I had my first child at 16(boyfriend was 16)... My mom always said she'd kill me if I ever got pregnant needless to say my mom was in the delivery room when my daughter was born. Take a at home pregnancy test.. If they are positive then tell your mom because shell find out some how. She cannot send you to jail for getting pregnant (if you are). Just hope for the best and good luck.

Sweetie I know how hard it is to tell your mother that you might be pregnant. I was 17 yrs old when I got pregnant with my son. First, you should find out for sure if you are, before you go and tell her. That way you no for sure yourself and you aren't getting yourself all upset for nothing. Second, if you do find out you are then when she is in a good mood and maybe with someone else there for support, talk to her. I would also like to say that I have never heard of anyone going to jail for being pregnant at your age, I think she was just trying to scare you. If she does try to kick you out, there are places that will help you. Just relax and know that everything in your life happens for a reason. Oh by the way, my mother was upset at first, but she wouldn't change having her grandson for nothing. He is her pride and joy and loves him to death.

Wait until you find out for sure . Then if you are ; if you have a friend or talk to a school counselor ( inform the counselor about your mom and see if they can be with you when you tell her ) that knows about the situation have them with you when you tell her . Think of some places (relatives ) that you can live with if your mom does throw you out. Some moms are like that then later they get used to the idea of being a grandma. Good Luck

first off, take a test to find out. for one thing you or your boyfriend can go to jail b/c you both are 16. plus having sex is not a crime. 16 is the "age of consent" so there is nothing your mom can do to either one of you. and having sex is a status offense for juveniles. which means if anything is even done about it, all the trouble you will get in, is being on probation.

i wish i could help but i'm in the same situation too. i'm still trying to find a way to tell her that i might be. but i'm not going to say anything until i'm 100% sure that i am pregnant. if i am, sadly, i'd would have to have an abortion. my boyfriend and i just aren't ready to be parents yet. though having unprotected sex was stupid on our part, we just can't have a kid right now. both of us have too many problems (financially, family, and school-wise) and feel that having a kid right now will be a bit of a burden as awful as that sounds. both of us are young and have a lot of growing up to do before we can handle the responsibilities of being a parent. we can barely take care of ourselves. how can we expect to take care of child?
