How can I tell my mother I'm pregnant?

I honestly don't think there is an obvious wrong or right way to do it. Either way, (also depending on your age) it's going to be a surprise. If you are a minor or relatively young I would just start out with "Mom, I really need to talk to you about something, and please know that this is not an easy thing for me to tell you, but you're my mom and if I can't go to you about this, then who?" Make her feel like you're telling her because you trust her and want her help and support. Don't go about it in a "This is my life, my choices. Like it or not." (unless you are an adult of course) Make her feel like you need her. If you're scared don't be afraid to let her know that. It will make her want to comfort you rather than make you feel worse. (Of course this varies on person to person, depending on both of you and your relationship) Ask her for tips. Options. Anything. If she flips out or is just plain shocked and can't talk to her, understand the position she is in too. Give her time to accept it and work through her first feelings. You can even say, "Mom, I know this might be shocking and we can talk more about this later if you want, but, I'm pregnant, and I just felt like thats something I shouldnt keep from you." If she flat out groans and walks away, then leave it at that. At least she knows, and eventually she will probably talk to you about it another time, probably with something like, "So, what are you going to do?" Or, "Who is the father?" Be prepared because chances are you will get a buttload of questions, so start thinking of some answers.

Wow, there is a lot of advice here and you probably don't need any more. I'll just tell you what happened when my daughter faced that situation. She was date raped and decided she couldn't possibly carry to term. She assumed that I would not agree with her decision , but she had the courage to tell me anyway. When I had that happen to me a very lone time ago, I couldn't tell my mother- or anyone. I was proud to be the kind of mother that accepted her choice and supported her 100 %. But back to how she "broke the news" - She said, Mom can we take a walk? I know it was something serious, but I think the "walking" helped us both. We didn't have to constantly look each other in the eye during the conversation, and the movement helped to keep us breathing! When we got back home, we had set upon a plan, and I'll always be grateful that she trusted me- I feel your mom will too- even though I don't know her or your relationship. I'm just sharing my own experience. Wishing you all well.

You have to reach acceptance with who you are and your current situation, make sure you are comfortable and in good spirits with your mother before you break the news. Be open with her, she raised you from the very start and she'll be invaluable to helping you do the same! Be aware that everyone would be nervous to tell their parents but through grace and patience you will tell her when the time is right :)

Shell eventually find out. Sometimes its best to just tell her. Even if it hurts her or even yalls relationship.

Sit her down and tell her in a calm manner that your pregnant or if your not comfortable with that maybe try writing her a letter

Take her to a place she feels comfortable in , do the things she likes you to do all day , and try telling her over dinner with quite and calm voice.

Nothing can work better than face to face confrontation. Never do it in a letter or text, words on a screen or paper can never express emotion.

jus take her to a better place where she like and explain the situation calmy and then explain your story

Tell her that you have to tell her something extremely important and then surprise the shit out of her!

I thought that I at one point I was pregnant. Being a freshman in college, I knew for a fact my mom would find this inexcusable, as sex before marriage is not acceptable in my family. Although I took the test and found out I was actually not pregnant, my mom didn't believe it quite yet. After a couple days, she told me if you're pregnant we need to know, so we can prepare for this. Hearing that come out of her mouth was the greatest feeling ever, had I been pregnant she would have been a great support system, with this being something un planned. . She had compassion in her voice, as she spoke those words. You may be surprised by the response that you're mother may entail. You need to simply tell her and ask her to be that support system you need. If you're mother truly loves you; which I'm sure she does; she will be there for you through it all.
