I'm a little younger then you I'm 17 and I was very nervous to tell my mum I was pregnant but I was just up front with her and even though she seemed disappointed to start off with she can't wait to be a Nana, mums are very understanding so my advise is to sit her down and just tell her

Did you tell her as soon as you found out or did you wait ?

I was 15 when I was pregnant the first time .. I was scared to tell my mom . I was living with my sister so I got her to tell her and I didn't speak to her for two weeks scared shed be mad . then I got pregnant again at 19 , took the test and went straight out of the bathroom and told her . she cried. sshe was so happy that I had enough trust in her to tell her like I did . now pregnant at 21 with twins , I done the same thing and she's been so supportive . I regret the way I told her the first time .. And I regret I waited so long considering I was 20 weeks when she finally found out . she's so close to my kids and I'm grateful for that

That's the thing I don't want her to find out by someone else because me and my mom are so close, I'm just really scared that she's going to be disappointed and mad

I think you should tell your mom the truth ASAP. I found out I was expecting at 4 weeks. I told my mom 2 days later. At first she thought I was lying so I had one of my nurses tell her. After that she seem more excited than me. She's a first time grandma.

My mom is a pastor I told her I was pregnant with the first. She was my disappointed in the choices I had made. But she was over that really quick and on to her grandchild. She lives him to death that was her first grandchild. I currently  have another on the way.

I was 20 with my first my mom wanted a grandchild from me so she wasn't upset. I sent her a pic of the pregnancy test she was so happy. Now my husbands mom cuz he was 19 n plus she is over protective there's more to the story but anyways his family is drama n he doesn't associate with them. (His choice since he moved out) anyways she was a drama queen about it n was mad saying all this bad stuff about me. Still to this day does. But in the end if you're happy n you're the one raising your child it shouldn't matter what anyone thinks. But omg I was so nervous when I told my mom but in the end she was happy n three years later she has my oldest n second daughter wrapped around her finger. :)

Also I'm 24 now n very nervous to tell my mom that I'm pregnant with my third I know she will be happy but still makes me nervous. Her opinion is what matters to me most I get scared to make her frown upon me. Good luck tho
