Sounds like if  your nervous then you must be young and probably live at home.  One thing is for sure is that usually 9 times out of 10 your mother knows already.  I've found in my years that they ate waiting on us to say it.  Idk but I think it's a test of trust or something. Just tell her.  It'll probably make her day.

No not everyone was having sex at that age...sorry i was 18 the first time....she's not being nasty...if you used protection uuuuu wouldn't be in this situation...since u are a child still and no matter what uuuuu think, uuuuu are a child, your mother is now going to have to assume responsibility for you and your baby ... that's just how it is... But uuuuu need to start being responsible from here on out and make better decisions...Your mother loves uuuuu regardless of how disappointed she is...No mother wants to watch their child suffer and struggle...which is pretty much what your in for...it's not an easy road, but it's the path God has chosen for you...

How do you know your 3 months? Have you been to the doctor?

I understand u completely! In 2004 I got pregnant. I was 16 years old and didn't tell my mom until I was 4 months pregnant. I didn't mean to tell her the way that I did but I couldn't take it anymore and just blurted it out in the moment. She had just picked me up after a bad argument with my then 19 year old bf. It was very hard but I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I gave birth to a beautiful daughter at 17. Shes my everything and since then I now have a 3 yr old and expecting another very soon.

At 16 you shouldn't go thru this alone. Sit down and tell her. At 16 are you getting prenatal visits without a parent?

Yeah. There's no easy out for u with this one, chic. U may not want to hear this but, ur 16, u know the risks of having unprotected sex. Now is the best time to learn how to b mature and accept responsibility for ur actions. It's not going to get any easier with a child. U have officially made urself an accountable adult by doing adult things that have adult consequences. As an adult, when u mess up, u take the repercussion and learn from it. Sit her down. Tell her u have news and that she is not going to b happy. Once u devulge said information, reassure her that u fully intend to take responsibility for ur child, to continue school so u can provide a good life for ur child and that u will get a job to support the expenses that come with it. And, plz...plz, plz, plz, when u do have ur baby, don't force ur responsibility of taking care of it onto ur mother. Accept her help if she offers but ultimately, it's ur job to feed it, change it, wake up in the middle of the night with it, etc. It's not ur mother's job. It's urs. And I promise u, the reward for being a mature mother dispite ur age is amazing in the long run. U will b proud of urself but ur mother will b even more proud bc u will have proven to her that even tho u messed up, u were willing to grow up and do what u needed to do. Good luck, hun.

Her reaction might surprise you, and either way you'll feel so much better to get it off your chest. Being pregnant is scary, being 16 and having to keep it a secret, I can't imagine . Good luck!

If you are that worried just wait till the baby comes and let the baby tell her... just kidding.. just sounded funny... sit down and just talk to her, she may be mad but it will all work out one way or another.

Just be open and honest with her. It will be hard but you dont want to hide it, thatll hurt the two of you more. My 18 yr old sister hid it from all of us til she was 32 weeks along...we are all still trying to rebuild from that. Good luck and remember ur mom just wants the best for you and loves you!
