Be honest and tell her you messed up. If you want to keep the baby, keep the baby! If you want an abortion, that's your choice. Do not let anybody tell you yes or no to keeping or getting rid of the baby, just listen to you.

well. It's hard to admit this considering I am supposed to help you out-- but I have had this pregnancy scare... I will not go to much into details but i can tell you my boyfriend didn't want to keep it. I didn't know what I wanted. Alls I knew was that I had to tell my mom. Luckily I either had a miscarriage or a very late period and didn't have a baby-- but the point is I had to confront the mother. It's super scary-- I mean they view you as the perfect little child no matter if you really are terribly behaved. Before I tell to what i said let me give you some confidence. After I told my mom and her initial anger was over- she was filled with joy(took a few days). She was nothing but helpful. She was actually sad that i didnt have a baby. Now what I said was" Mom I love you" she said it back, I said, "I messed up big--" she, "what did you do!!!!" "*crys* I'm so sorry I mad a mistake and now im pregnant XC" *lots of yelling and freaking out* "I'm sorry mom but i dont know what to do now i need your help please!!" ~ after a lot of this it became ok:) she was super happy and helpful.

it might be hard but tell her that you love her, and that she is someone that you feel safe around

Telling someone, especially your mother, that you're pregnant can be difficult. And, like most difficult news sometimes it's best to deliver that news in public. Someplace where causing a scene would be unacceptable which gives that person time to think and to process to really feel what is going on. And, straight forward is always the best route with direct words and no euphemisms that way there can be no misunderstanding what is going on with you. It's generally in the best interest to make all facts known and remove any idea of doubt.

Ask her to sit down and have a conversation with you, you need to calmly tell her and not burst and explode about it.

That's a really difficult conversation to have. You have to be very sensitive about it, because I think only parents can understand how much parents truly love and are invested in their kids -- as kids, I don't think we can grasp it.

It has happened now, don't panick and try to tell your mother by making her sit. If she's angry, show her that you are sorry and try to show regret if she responds with anger. She's your mother, she will listen.

Bring it to her slowly. There's no right way to tell her, but some tips are to bring it at the right time, not when they're busy, keep calm and keep to the facts: how far along you are, who else you told and that you're wishing for your parents advice.

Go out with your mom, maybe take her out for a drink and get a bite to eat. Bring someone with you like a good friend or a close family member that knows that your pregnant andtthat will support you when confronting your mom

Sit her down, personally I would recommend making her tea with a biscuit, and tell her calmly without getting angry
