Change of plans

[Alexiafaye]

Hi ladies! I asked this same question when i first signed up here but things have changed around a litle so I'm asking again in light of new circumstances. So I'm wondering how to tell my mom that I'm pregnant. I'm 19 and me and my boyfriend live on our own right in the next court from my mom. He is 25 and we have been together for about 4 years and living together for two. My mom always used to ask everytime i said i didnt feel good if I was pregnant. But figures she never has since I actually have been lol! I'm really nervous because she was pregnant at 19 also and I don't want to disappoint her again because I feel like that's all I do. I'm currently 15 weeks and just had my first ultrasound. My original plans were to write a card and put an ultrasound picture in it. But I didn't get pictures this time. The problem with that is my mom asked me that if I ever did get pregnant to tell her before i'm way far along. I'll get pictures next time but I'll be 20 weeks. (half way through!) I'm so nervous... What should I do??

Gatorgrl has good alternate ideas : )

Plus explain you had no idea you were so far love she will understand :)

I would tell her hun . Something cute may be make your own photo like you and your spouse holding a netural colored onsie and put that in an card. Or make one like out of the little white onsies and put arriving 2013 or a grandma loves me onsie.
Just some alternate ideas :)

That's strange they didn't give u pics. With my first I found out at 6 weeks 5 days n they gave me pics. I was 17 when pregnant n had him at 18. I sent my mom a pic with a note that told her she was going to b a grandma n told her how much I loved her. She was very happy. Didn't like that I was so young but she didn't hold that against the baby cuz its not the babies fault. I would just tell ur mom. It would b better than to show up with he or she n b like o btw ur a grandma. Congrats on ur bundle of joy.

homest is easiest in this situation and once its in the open you can start preparing as a family. I know it can be scary. im in college still and some of my family was disapointed I didnt wait but not for long. they love my baby boy and want him to be part of a loving family. and since you take care of yourself and are of adult  age, you are already to a healthy start. it also seems like she might be really hurt if you keep it a secret, so just let her know. best of luck hun! and congratulations! :)

I wish I had pictures from the first one :/ They said we would get pictures next time. Should I figure out another way to tell her or wait that long for a picture? I probably will show before 20 weeks so I'm not sure what to do.

Wait for the pic, something about it makes them forget to be angry lol. I am 23 and was still nervous to tell my mom, she wasnt upset but I could tell she felt some kinda way. So I showed her the ultrasound and she became obsessed with it lol.

Just tell her. She's already expecting you to let her know before your so far along. Plus you may start showing soon. Your of adult age, and currently take care of yourself. Do you already have ultrasound pics? If so, just use one of them and write something like "countdown has started for an awesome grandma to be"....or something cute.
