Sweetie, if you found out in august, then you'd be at least two months along, closer to three probably...You really need to tell them. I know they'll probably be upset, but you aren't going to be able to hide it much longer. It might be easier to tell your mom if you do it over the phone...Maybe you could call her from your gram's house and tell her the news, and then she could come over and talk to you once she cools down a bit...

I hope it works out for you!

First of all I dont care how you do it you just have to you ahvvve to get in to see a doctor... Being pregnant is not a game i'm sorry if that sounds mean but if your think your ready to have sex you need to be ready to have a baby and own up to all its responsibilities... You need to see a doc and get on prenatal vitamins and all the regualr mommy checkups and dos and donts and I cant preach that any harder... Especially tell your grandmother... Do you have a job or finacial support? If not shes probably going to be your main source and if they end up making you "so to speak " have an abortion its gunna be too late... You could be anywhere from 2-4 months... Everyone needs to know and you just need to flat out tell them!

Honey, its okay. I was in the same boat. I tried to hide it for months. I lived in sweatpants/jeans and hoodies! Seriously...My mom didn't find out until I was around 17 weeks. I did go to the doctor though. Really, I know you are scared, I was too. My mom told me she would put me in the morgue if I ever had sex, let alone get pregnant. Either way, what you have to realize, is that that baby isn't going anywhere...Its staying right there....So you have to tell..And get to the doctor. Go to wal-mart and get those 5.98 prenatal vitamins, get those!!! Just get to the doctor, and ask them that you want to get on medicaid, they should give you a form, right at the doctor. You need to tell them...There is no good way to do it, you just have to tell them as best as you can. *hugs* good luck.

You need to tell them soon, especially your grandma, telling you mom over the phone was a great idea if you are scred of how she might react. Good luck and for everyone's sack please take care of your self

Your grandmother should be there for you, especially if she's the only one caring for you. Tell your grandmother, because if your starting to show, then you're most likely past the first 3 months. Get to a doctor, like jessa said! You need a checkup and some vitamins! Dont be so worried, you're 17, almost 18 so they should be more understanding, I mean your mom can't do anything since she already kicked you out. Just tell your grandmother, it's very important you get checked out. I didn't tell my mom until I was 5 months pregnant & im 14, and my pregnancy wasn't doing too good until I got a checkup. So yeah.
