It might be a hard topic for your mom to come to terms with, but honesty is the best way. You made some poor choices, however there's nothing that you can do it about now. The sooner you tell her, the sooner you'll be able to get prenatal care....which is extremely important. You're mom will be able the one to help facilitate that. GL! H & H 9 months.

Its never easy to tell your parent especially being so young i found out the hard way & didnt want anyone to know. my family was upset at first then they got used to the idea. I know my friend wrote a letter. I told my mom over lunch in a public place so she did not get to mad. whatever you think works the best but sooner than later is better so u can spend more time not stressing over it.

was the same way up until a week ago. If the father isnt going to be there for you and the baby then forget him. Right now, you gotta tell your parents. Im three months pregnant and i should had seen a doctor a while ago. You need to see a doctor and you're going to need love and support more then anything right now. Just take a deep breath and just let it out. and speak your feelings on what you want to do now that you are pregnant. If you know that she'll hopefully understand and support you, you have nothing to worry about and you should be just fine

Good luck!I hope things will turn out wonderful for you
