So I’m 6 weeks pregnant. I have a history of uterine fibroids and NEVER thought I’d be able to conceive. My mother is a minister. She had my brother at 19. Because she was unmarried and active in church like myself (on my praise team) I was certain she’d have compassion and be the best person to talk to. To my surprise it’s been the opposite.

Yesterday we got into a huge argument because she doesn’t want me to post my pregnancy on social media because I’m “broadcasting my sin” and embarrassing her, my pastor, and my church. I told her that the last thing I’d expect from her is chastisement and judgment and moving forward I will not involve her in anything that has to do with my child.

My situation is not ideal but I still look At my baby as a blessing. I guess I’m just having a hard time coping with her opinions and judgment. I know more is coming from people ESPECIALLY in the church but I’ve never been one to care. It’s just different when it’s your mother....

Not sure why I’m writing here....i guess just hoping someone else has gone through or is going through the same and can encourage me.
