Well if you were so scared then you wouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place. You don't care that you got pregnant but that you'll have to face the consequences of it. I know I'm going to be hated for saying that but it's the truth. However I DO understand what you're going through (no I haven't personally been throught but I can only imagine).
I don't know your mother you do, but I would tell her in a calm setting. I wouldn't call her because that seems extremely cowardly and unjust. You did what you did and now you have to face the consequences so do it like a mature person as that's what you have to be now that you're becoming a mother.
Do not write a letter for heaven's sake nor call her that just do more damage to her. She may be upset but she is your mother and you owe her that much to tell her the right way.
As for your words like I said I can't provide you with that. It should be meaningful from you, you're in this situation not me. I personally would tell her calmly that I didn't intend for this to happen not but I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to be a mother. I'd tell her that I'm sorry if I upset her I didn't intend too, but I need her and love her & I'd hate it if I had to move out. I'd say that I understand if she's upset w/ me & give her time to process everything.
She may get angry in the heat of it, but understand it's just as much news to her as it is to you and she needs to contemplate it. She may scream and yell at you but that's just rash action so you shouldn't take anything she says too personally. Don't scream back because that'll just make things worse off for you. I wish you well & good luck.

Whoever the father is should probably be taking care of you if your mom does end up kicking you out. & its wrong for her to kick you out, your 19 years old so whats wrong with you having a baby? I can tell your going to be a good mother cause you don't even want to get an abortion. She's gonna find out one way or another, its best to take her in a public place to break the news, that way she can't get overly mad & by the time you get home, she'll be cooled off. Maybe she just told you she would kick you out to scare you so you wouldn't get pregnant and finish college. Things happen. She should understand. But hey, if she kicks you out you can stay with me(: haha. I hope i helped.

You should definitely tell your Mum , even though it may be difficult . It would be a good idea to have her support and for her to help you through your decision making . How to tell her ? perhaps you could tell her face to face , but take a support person along too . As for abortions , as simple as it sounds to get the procedure and move on there is a lot more to an abortion than that . Many people who have had abortions suffer from extreme guilt and even depression . Keeping the baby would also be difficult , but if you decided to do so , then having your mums support would be very helpful . Best of luck , take care .

My mom was the same way. I was 17 yrs old when I told her and I didnt have the guts to tell her face to face so I called her at work... (yea def not a good idea so dont do this).
My mom also said she would kick me out and that I had a month to get out the house. But after a while she just got used to it. I still left on my own though I moved into my own place when my son was just 2 months old.
Whatever you do though, DO NOT GET AN ABORTION... thats commiting murder and God does not like that. check this video out http://satanshelpers.com/video.htm

Well, congrats, it seems you are excited about your child which is a great thing. Let your mother know you took a pregnancy test and it came out positive and ask her what she thinks you should do. Maybe if you tell her your fears and hesitations, she will not be quite as upset. Let her know you want to keep the baby and abortion just isn't an option. Listen to her advice though, mothers have been where you are, so she may surprise you.

I was in the exact same spot you were in. My parents (especially dad) said if I ever got pregnant before marriage or while a teen, they would kick me out. I was so scared to tell them when I found out, but I knew I couldn't exactly hide it from them. So I got them together and told them face-to-face (don't do it by text or whatever-- act mature and tell them in person) and they were surprisingly supportive. I'm sure your mom loves you, so she should be there for you and help you through this pregnancy.
Good luck and congrats on the baby :)
Source(s): Sarahbelle007-- GTFO of this post. She asked for help, not for someone to come and tell her how "immature" she is. Unless you've been in this situation, you don't know how it's like to feel hopeless and scared. - Anonymous1 decade ago
alot of parents that say that they will kick you out, do not actually go through with it. when it comes down to it you are her daughter. she will be upset at first, but she will get over it.
im 19 and about to have my first baby. the father and i just recently got married. but when i first told my mom she was very upset, i come from a very christian background and a military family. but after like the first 3 months she has been very supportive and just threw me a baby shower.
good luck to you and god bless.

You just need to come right out and tell her, theres no easy way to tell her...reguardless of how you tell her, her response will be the same..You didnt mention where the father is...Your life will change a lot, my mother always said she would kick my sister out, but when it came to it she didnt, and my sister got pregnant at 15.

she's gonna figure it out sooner or later, you may as well just come out with it. think about adoption, and it that may be an option for you. you would be making a choice to give the child a stable two parent home. you mom may react differently if you approach the situation that way. don't lie to her. that will only make things worse.

Abortion = No, worse then getting kicked out
Just tell her. If you are that scared write it in a letter. Tell her being a mother doesn't have to stop you from working and going to school.
Where is baby daddy? He needs to get his butt in gear and be working on a place for you to stay should she decide to kick you out.
