Wow...I wish I knew some great advice that would make it all better. I had a strict mom too, and I guess my experience taught me that the sooner I told her, the better. Sure, she'd be mad for awhile, but we'd eventually work through it. Have you graduated high school yet? Keep me posted, and I'll definitely keep you in my thoughts!
I graduate June 7th... And she got pregnant when she was 18 her first time.. I mean yeah the sooner the better I'd rather get like a card or something and stick the ultra sound picture in the card
I'm 22 and was scared to tell my mom! haha. I havent even lived with them in 5 years. They were upset at first but you have to get past that. She'll probably be mad but then she'll eventually come to realize she is going to have a grandchild and honestly that will probably be one of the happiest moments of her life when he/she is born. whatever you do dont stress its bad for the baby. just think of how you are going to tell her and think of something to say if she yells. think of calm things to tell her and try to make it as positive as possible. how everything works out
Just tell her the way you want and she may be mad for a bit but she will get over it eventually and if not she is missing out on your and her grandchild's life...Good Luck though
I was 19 when i fell pregnant with my DD and my mum was strict also. We were a born again christian family, i was a childrens church and youth group leader (which means i shouldnt have been having sex, since i wasnt married)... so i was more worried about telling my Pastors than my mother lol She was shocked and didnt believe me, but she was supportive!!
Good luck telling ur mum

The sooner the better. You need to begin prenatal vitamins- available at any pharmacy. You need to begin prenatal care- so just sit down and tell her. Maybe a friend you trust could help you break the ice.
Look I'm 22 and I just found out I am 14 weeks (3months) pregnant and I was also scared to tell my parents b/c their so judgemental, but when I told them they were excited to have a grandchild on the way. Just let it out and be prepared for both outcomes. Don't give up, stay strong. You got yourself in the situation, so just know you can DO IT.... I wish the best for you and your family. I'll try to keep in touch.
Their are 13 and 14 yr old children having babies at least you made it past that. Just be prepared and DON"T STRESS!!!
