That depends always in the type of relationship you have with her. If she's open minded nice to talk to, then it should be a bit difficult at the beginning, but you'll make it, always try to show her responsibility and matureness cause we're talking about an important subject. If your parents are conservative, and have lack of understand, it's going to be more difficult to you, but always keep in mind that you are taking the good steps. They'll try to understand it with time. And people can always surprise us, we never know how they might react so we keep in living

Ask her if you can talk for five or ten minutes (depending on how long you think it'll take). For some mothers, it may take them a long time to adjust but you just have to give her her space depending on her reaction.

it genuinely depends on what kind of person your mother is but assuming that she is loving and willing to listen, The best thing so do is to sit her down alone and explain to her, as simply as possible, that you're pregnant. Its really important to tell her the complete truth, yes, including who the father is, even if you don't feel comfortable because the only way to get her full support is with honesty and trust. i hope this helps love Z

Just open up to her, chances are it might not be as bad as you think. tell her you came to her because you trust her and want to share with her whats happening to you.

Be upfront. Tell her honestly about it. And make sure you tell her yourself, she'd feel horrible knowing it from someone else.

Think about how your parents have reacted to other situations that may be similar to this or not. You know your parents' personalities so you may have to choose the words yourself. The important thing is to tell them in a calm way.

She is your mom. If anything, she'll be the most understanding. Try to break it down slowly. It might be a lot to process for her.. But you will get through it.

Try asking her how she would feel if you were, and texting her the news. It will be easier than saying it to her face.

Be honest with her, try do it calmly, without rush of emotions. Being calm is the best way to do it, you're showing that you have everything under control.
