Freaking out! How should I tell my mom the news?!

Question

My mother and I don't have a good relationship. When I moved to a different state she got mad and rarely talks to me. So I'm afraid of what her reaction might be to telling her I'm pregnant. Please help!

Answer

How far along are you? You can always tell her when you're out of your first trimester.

Answer

My mother and I have a terrible relationship too. My SO and I moved out of state to get away from her verbal abuse. When we found out I was pregnant, I told my sister who has two kids of her own. My nephew who is 8 told grandma he was getting a cousin....and that's how my mother found out.

Answer

Anyway you could visit her in person and then give her the card? Wouldn't want to see her reaction? Maybe that will be enough to mend the fences so to speak, but be prepared for any questions she may throw at you. I hope she wants what is best for you and the baby. She is going to be a grandmother maybe she will be more open to communication since she may want to have involvment with her grandchild. At somepoint. Good luck! If not try a phone call or video chat so you can know her reaction.
