How should I tell my mother I’m pregnant?

Question

I’m scared to tell my mother I’m pregnant again. I was pregnant two months ago but I had a miscarriage. Her reaction to my last pregnancy was horrific. She’s going to be disappointed because I’m only 21 and she hates my boyfriend. I want to tell her but I’m scared of her reaction. She really hurt my feelings the last time when she completely freaked out. I just want her to know my life isn’t over. Why is it so hard for her to be supportive.😞

Answer

As a mom myself I’d be more pissed hearing it through a text.

Answer

In my opinion you are an adult and made an adult decision to get pregnant with your boyfriend. So I would handle the situation as the mature lady you are and tell your mom in person. I think you owe it to her and I hope she can understand how she hurt you last time. I just wouldn’t necessarily expect her attitude or opinion about your situation to change in two months, so be prepared for a negative reaction. Good luck!

Answer

Maybe she is concerned for you for reasons we do not understand. Why cannot see your relationship with your SO or your mother. It is best to tell her in person.

Answer

I agree with in person but maybe when your close to 14 weeks or so. Maybe you can wait until you find out the gender? People are a bit more happy when they actually see ultrasound pictures of the baby.

Answer

Sending a text is childish no matter how scared u are, you’re going to be a mother yourself, put your big girl boots on and tell her you planned this ( I’m assuming, or you would’ve used protection after last time?) and you would love her support but either way this is happening

Answer

Dare I say this was not unplanned?  
If you two are comfortable having unprotected sex and making a baby then you should be comfortable enough to tell your mother that your with child. 
I was 16 and I made it through that uncomfortable reaction just fine. 
If your not ready for people opinion then you can always discuss contraceptives after baby is born.  
Congrats on your rainbow baby. Now show that baby how important he is and go see your mommy. You are a grown up. You will be fine.

Answer

Do it in person. A text or someone telling her is definitely the worst idea. 
I did a text with my son and my mom wasn’t happy at all. Next time I did in person and reacted kinda better

Answer

I would text her because I would avoid all the negativity.
