How to tell mom?

Question

I'm 22 years old and recently graduated from college I haven't found a job in my career field yet and I'm 13 weeks pregnant and I live with my mom.... I'm so scared to tell her! Because I think she would be soooo disappointed in me.... Any suggestions or kind words of how and when to tell her? 
I was thinking about taking her out to lunch or dinner and telling her then so she won't be upset in public 😩😩😩 Every time I say I'm going to tell her the day comes and goes and I don't tell her.

Answer

Present her with a plan and be straight forward.

Answer

Find a cute way to tell her. Act extremely excited and maybe tell her with other people there so her reaction feeds off other people's reactions. Even if she's disappointed, she will end up being happy in time. Having abbay will ultimately bring you closer too

Answer

I'm 30 and I thought my parents would be disappointed in me as me and my boyfriend were only together for three months at that point. I was so nervous to tell them. I went to the baby store and bought them a book called "The Gifts of Being Grand" (it's about Grandparents). They were definitely shocked but sooo excited about the addition to the family and becoming grandparents. Good luck.

Answer

When I needed to tell my parents I owned that they would be disappointed in me. If you own it and accept it might be easier for you to tell her and handle her reaction. I very nicely told my parents that I understood this isn't what they saw for me but I'm excited about it and hoped they would join me in the excitement. She loves you and will love your baby too.

Answer

I was 17 and hadn't even graduated high school yet when I got pregnant and it was hard I hid my first pregnancy until I was almost 20 weeks. It is hard to do but now that I'm a mom I always think I would want my son to tell me and as parents we love our kids no matter what. She may tell you that she's disappointed and stuff right now but after a while she will warm up to the idea and after your baby gets here she will be over the moon trust me. Just have a game plan for a job especially and make sure your mom knows that you plan to take care of baby and you want her to enjoy being a grandma

Answer

Well I'm a little older than you I'm 25 however, I'm really just beginning to get comfortable in my career post college. I too still live at home with my mother however, my fiancé and I will be purchasing a home in a few months to give us time to get settled I'm due July 24th. I think the best way to tell you mom is probably to put it to her in a way that you outline all of your accomplishments thus far and that having a little one will not stop you from succeeding. The setting will probably not change how she reacts but, I'm sure if you let her know you're responsible enough to handle the responsibility she will come around...who knows she may even be excited for you. Not quite sure if you and your child's father are together or not but, perhaps letting her know that the two of you have it covered will give her additional reassurance that your decision to become a mom will be nothing short of happiness! Good luck hun💕💕
