Just tell her.
She's already been there, done that. She will understand.
Since you are 18, it is (legally) your choice on what to do about the pregnancy. If you plan to carry to term and keep the baby, you will be needing all the love, help, and support you can get ... and that most certainly means you need your Mom!
Your other choices ... abortion, adoption ... are up to you as well. But your Mom will be able to help you decide and navigate in these unfamiliar waters. I'm sure your Mom LOVES you and wants what is best for you (hmm, we Moms are like that!) so telling her sooner rather than later would be a benefit to you. She will be able to help you face it, whatever decision you ultimately make.
Truth ... your Mom may be disappointed in you ... for about 30 seconds. Her love for you will outweigh anything else she may feel ... please believe me.

Listen its okay!! I know you are worried. My daughter who was a month from turning 18 and had to go for the summer with boyfriends family to a state 1100 miles away. They were moving there. She had finished her first year in college already. I let her goagaint what I wanted. She told dad she was pregnant. Then 2 weeks he told me. Its been a couple of months. Shes home and she is having her baby!! I kind of new it would happen. I shock for a minute. Then I cryed. Called all the people I could that I knew would not judge her. It sounds like you are a loving child. I would call her. But maybe call one of her close understanding friends and have her go over and not spill the beans. That away she can cry talk and have someone to get a grip. Then soon she will be really okay!!! I can tell by how you are talking she will be okay!!! Just tell her mom you know I love you and I hate when I moved you hurt. It was part of growing up and you never woulsd have been ready for it. Today mom I am pregnant and I was not ready for it and I know its a fear for you!!!!! I love you mom and I am sorry if I hurt or disappoint you. I try to do things right and I had to learn my way!!! I will understand more as I have my young baby!!! I love you mom!!! Let her freak and understand her fear and upset feelings!! Its emotions!!! Heck if you can't atatch thisand e-mail her. But I think in person or on phone!! Do it on a fridAY OR SATURDAY WHEN SHE HAS a day to freak out in side. Soon you will be shopping for baby things on line or with hwer aty store!! Good luck it will work out and your mom will be okay!!! I promise!!! Your still her love and little girl who she will love and cherish. The best of people make mistakes. Even your mom and thats why she worries about you. Good luck!!!

I'm a mom. I had my oldest when I was only 19 and I wanted him, my second and my third to all go to college, get good jobs, get married, own a house BEFORE they had kids.
When my oldest was only 21, he called me and told me that I was going to be a grandma. Was I disappointed? Yes. Do I still love him? Yes.
I ADORE MY GRANDSON!!!
My daughter is only 24. She has already been married and divorced. No kids yet, but I didn't even want her to get married as I felt they were too young. Were they? Yes. Do I still think she's one of the greatest gifts God ever gave to me? Yes.
Your mother loves you and she always will. Disappointment is a part of life and when you truly love someone, you don't stop loving them just because they did something to disappoint you.
It'll be hard, but sit down with her -- I feel privately would be best, but that's up to you -- and simply tell her. If she gets upset at first, let her. Go with it and don't try to tell her she doesn't have the right to be. After a little while, she should get it out of her system and then she'll go from being upset/disappointed to being excited and worried about you, your health and the babies health.
She WON'T stop loving you -- it's simply not possible. If you don't understand or believe it's not possible to stop loving you, you will once you have your own.

Sit down with her and the father of the child, and tell her we need to have a family discussion. She will understand and you may be surprised that she may already know! That was how it was with me and my husband. If you two are close and open with one another, she will understand completely.
But in taking this grown up step you have to show her you are mature enough to face her head on. Make sure you have your entire pregnancy mapped out for her and that you are really going to need her at this point in time. Of course don't forget to tell her that you love her and that the baby is definitely going to need their Grandma! Best of Luck!

My parents were putting in their yard so I got them a small tree that had a note hanging from it saying "There is a new branch on the family tree" With my in laws I gave them a picture frame that said baby at the top. Where you put the pic I wrote picture to follow in 6 months. This time we were having dinner at my inlaws and I was supposed to bring a dessert. I made cookies that were shaped like booties. I frosted them blue and pink.

email or write her a letter with this format, so she'll feel good after she finds out :
a. tell her how much you appreciate what she's done for you while growing up, especially about how her guidance has helped you turn out to become a level-headed, loving person. give detailed examples.
b. tell her how much you love her, how you miss her, and how much you look forward to be with her once again, once your maternity doctor tells you that the travel won't put your baby at risk.
c. ask for her advice on how to be a good mom, which you'd like to discuss on your next visit.
d. promise you'll tell her about your baby's dad on your visit.
e. tell her again how much you love her, and that you hope she will welcome you and the baby growing in your womb on your visit.
good luck & best wishes

Just be honest and tell her the truth.She is your mum and no matter what she will always love you.Yes she may be disappointed that you are pregnant but love is stronger.She will only be disappointed because she knows what you will be going thru because she has been there done that.Then again she could be stoked as she will have a grandchild to spoil.

Say, mom, im pregnant. She will love u no matter what. Dont be so nervous about it. If ur nervous, she will be also. Try to do it at some special occasion like if her birthday or a close relatives birthday is approaching. And refer to her as grandma! It get them every time. She should be proud that her daughter is having a little one and she should support u.

Try sending her some flowers from her new grandchild.. maybe put a card in it that says
Congradulations on the new model (arrival) ...
Expected due date (XXXX)
Place of birth (hospital name)
Parents (Your name)
If not flowers maybe send a card or balloons or even a cake could be made with the information written on it..
Hope this helps..

im 19 now with my son due in november. i got pregnant when i was 18. the best way to tell your mom is to just tell her. sit her down and look at her and tell her you have to talk to her about something very important. if she starts yelling at you just stay calm and sit there. she'll appreciate you coming to her about it and just let her know how you feel about it <3
good luck hun
