My mom is mad about my pregnancy. Am I too young?

Carine • Tue, Mar 24

I'm 23 and I'm financially stable. I've been independent and on my own since I was 18. I tried to tell my mom the great news about my pregnancy yesterday and she was in complete denial saying that there's no way that I'm pregnant and if I was, I would be dumb for bringing in a baby this young. She was 18 when she had me! I'll be going on 24 when the baby is born and my husband will be going on 26. My husband is currently unemployed because he was just finishing college but of course he is looking for a job! I could see why my mom would be scared, but how do I make her understand that everything will be okay and to support my decision?

How old were you when you had your first baby and how did your parents take the news? Advise?
