Okay i'm 16 and have figured out that i'm pregnat. I'm really excited and I wanted it but my mom.... She's a control freak and i'd probably put her in a heart attack if I told her. My boyfriend has offered me to move in with him which will be good when I finally tell my mom. She told me that if I got pregnat then she'd kick me out. (another story) so wut i'm asking is wut is the best way to tell her. Just tell her openly or slid in tips and then tell her or smthing else all together plz help!!!!!!

As long as you really have a good place to go in case your mother does react poorly, you may as well just tell her straight. I made the mistake of trying to hide it from them. I made it until I was about 6 months pregnant and finally came to this site where these lovely ladies smacked some sense into me! I thought my parents would react poorly, but they really surprised me and reacted better than I could have ever expected. I asked my youth pastor at church to help me tell my parents and having the support of him and his wife really helped my situation a ton. I can't really predict how your mother will react, but like I said, as long as you have a backup plan, you'll be okay. And just think, she may shock you and be completely okay with it. My advice in telling her is this... Get someone to help back you up, get your mother's attention, and just straight up tell her. Looking back on my own experience, I wish I would have done that at the very beginning. I wish the best of luck to you, your boyfriend, and your future child.

I wrote my mom a letter, thankfully she was more then cool with it (not that she was happy but she had a very good reaction) and she said she kind of wished I didn't write her a letter and had had the nerve to tell her to her face. But I am glad I did because I was sure that she was going to freak out and then it gave her a bit of time to deal with things her own way.

Good luck if you haven't already told her!

Well there are many ways to tell them but I have learned from my experience the sooner you tell them the less they are going to get mad...And being that you are pregnant I think the most mature way to do it is by telling them face to face...And not hiding anything just come out with the truth and I think they will be happy that you were mature..And they might not be mad and blow up..Although most parents will ...They soon will get use to the fact and love that baby more than life...
