Start by knowing how you feel on the subject, then approach her when you know where you stand personally.

Announcing monumental news needs to be done sensitively, especially if you think she will disapprove. Keep in mind that she has the right to experience her emotions in her own process and you might not have much say in what that looks like.

There is no "how", just talk to her, be open and tell her the truth. The sooner she knows the better it will be for you.

Well, you could prepare her somehow first, like a casual talk about babies or something like that. Then you could sit with her, and have a serious talk about it. You could tell her casually as well, ina public place so she measures her reactions, or tell her privately in your house. It depends on how strong is your relationship with her.

This depends on what you want to do with the pregnancy. Of course, you should be honest with her, your mother is there to support you.

Be honest from the start. Trying to hide it will only make it harder to share the news. Simply explain you have been blessed with a beautiful gift and you will use what she has taught you in life as encouragement in your future endeavors.

Make sure you're first. Then you will say it and how this happened,but tell all the TRUTH?! because it will be really effective maybe first cannot be so positive because of her reaction but then believe me it will have positive effect.

That can be a scary time for any female. Everyone's situation is different. Being pregnant or becoming a parent can bring MANY mixed feelings and emotions and can be a very overwhelming time no matter where you are in life. The first thing you need to ensure is the physical health of both you and your child as well as your own emotional health. Also having support is very important to ensure that you are receiving BOTH during your pregnancy. Also, a pregnancy if you intend to move forward with it, is not something that you can continue to hide from others. So when you feel that you are emotionally ready to share that news, then it should be shared with those closest to you so that they have the opportunity to support you. Sure it might be scary at first, and tough, but you might find that it won't be as scary of a turnout as you thought it would be. Its important to build up a support network during your pregnancy. So talking to your healthcare provider/Obstetrician would be the best thing in getting you the proper and best resources available to you. Just remember to try to be as honest and upfront as you can be during this time. Once you are honest with yourself and others (including your mom) you may find that this turns out to be one of the most joyful times of your life. Good Luck!

Before you tell her anything make sure you prepare exactly how you will explain things. You know your mother better than I do, so you know how they news should be broken to her. Mentally prepare yourself for how she might react. You know your mom! She will either be understanding or critical of you, so prepare yourself!
