Anxious to tell my mom
Background about me: got pregnant with my son at 20 (youngest person to get pregnant in my family). My mom pushed for me to get an abortion for a while until I told her no, I wanted the baby. I was a single mom for a while until I met my husband. We've decided we want to have our own child together. My son will be turning 2 in August. I'm currently 10 weeks pregnant with my second child and last child. Back in December, I was 7 weeks pregnant and miscarriaged, but right before that I had told my mom that I was pregnant. She freaked out and automatically assumed it was an unplanned pregnancy again like with my son. My husband and I literally just sat there in shock as she freaked out and got upset about me being pregnant. We literally didn't know what to say to her. Then I lost that pregnancy a few days later (baby stopped growing at 5w). We conceived within the month following the miscarriage and now that we've made it to 10 weeks, we've seen the heartbeat and fetal movement, we are ready to tell our families. How in the hell do o break the news to my mom? Im 23, my husband had a stable job and steady income, while I'm about to leave my job BUT I'll be receiving disability pay that covers almost exactly what I make now. So it's not like we are living on the streets. We have our own house and two cars and we have savings... So idk why my mom freaked out so badly and assumed I got pregnant on accident again, even though I'm more successful and now married. How do I break the news?
