pregnant. We're tyrin to get our own place
but it will probably take a while before
we can. Im going to the health department
tomorrow to make sure everything is
alright but i have to tell my mom soon
because she wants to go buy my wedding
dress this weekend. What is the best way
to tell my mom?

Sit down with her when you are alone and
calmly tell her you are pregnant. Be
prepared because she might not be ready
for it. So tell her how you have things
planned out. What you plan on doing about
the wedding, and about the baby
arrangements, etc.
Maybe you could have a smaller wedding and
save some of that money to move out?

How soon is the wedding? Are you worried
that the dress will not fit right?
Why will she be mad? You are almost
married already, and this is a planned
baby. You must have thought about her
reaction while you were consciously trying
to get pregnant, right? Has something
changed where you think she might get
upset now, but she wouldn't have been
upset previously?

Are you excited? because I think the
solemn Im pregnant sounds like Im sorry to
have to tell you this. If your excited do
it in a cute way by calling her grandma or
getting a "I love my grandma" shirt or
something so shes sees your happyand she
might be happier.

well like they have said it all depends on
how you feel i mean honestly yes you are
young but your legal so its not like your
under age.. i agaree with dani if your
happy find a happy exciting way to tell
her if your not then just sit down with
her and talk to her.. seeing as how you
are engaged she shouldnt be to upset i
meen its not like your 16 and not ready
for a camitment with the father cause well
your already there.. so be honest with
your fills and it will change the way she
feels...

im having a hard time with this too.
i havent told my parents yet.
their divorced, so i plan on taking my
mom, dad and step mom out to a restaurant
or coffee and tell them then. Most likely
next week HOWEVER, my mom and i are
going out to see a movie this friday, and
my mom has this really scary sense where
she knows when something is up before it
even happens..must be a mom thing, im sure
i'll find out what its like when my child
is born. But im nervous that she'll ask
and get really pissed off, i hope that
wont happen cuz i dont see my mom very
often and things just started getting a
little better with all my parents..i hope
the news i tell them doesnt set us all
back though...

My mom had no clue until she went snooping
though my diary. Jacob told his mom the
day we found out.

that was smooth
travis went and told his mom when she came
home from work one day. it was about a
week after we found out. i was working at
the mall and he came and picked me up.
when we were on our way home i was like
dude. DONT tell your mom yet. i want to
tell both of our parents at the same
time"
and he was like ok ok i wont
well he decided when she got home from
work i was sitting upstairs and he goes
"im telling my mom"
"noooo travis!!!!!!!!!!!"
and i sat up here and he went down there
15 seconds later i hear...what? how did
you know
his mom "guessed" it
i hadnt had my period for 2 months so i
guess that was a givin LOL

awww my sis told my dad and step mom
christmas morning that she was. she got a
shirt for step mom that says "what happens
at grandmas stays at grandmas" lol and a
baby bib for dad that says "i love
grandpa" I think it is a mothers intuition
to know when their daughter is pregnant.
Cause my step mom was like "i already knew
but i was just waiting for you to tell me"
Also someone told me (i can't really
remember who......) but they told me that
when a girl gets pregnant she kinda walks
differently. It's not noticalble to other
people but to like the mom it is.

I knew my daughter was pregnant before she
told me..yep it is a mom thing. It's just
the special connection that mothers and
daughters share..

how old was your daughter when she got
pregnant?
were you upset or anything with her?
