don't hide it.
the longer you hide it the harder it gets.

for your health and for your baby you need to get medical assistance during your pregnancy.

you need ultrasounds and stuff to make sure everything is OK.

sure she will be disappointed to begin with but most parents come round given a bit of time.

The sooner you tell your mom the sooner she can help you get stuff sorted out like doctors visits.

Sweetie, you need to at least be seen by a doctor. You need all the support you can get at this point.

Have you taken a pregnancy test? Are you sure you are pregnant? Start with planned parenthood - it is free and they will not tell your mom! They can help you with your next steps.

Good luck!

Go to planned parenthood ..Everything between you and the doctor is confidential and it is against the law for him to tell your mom anything. I agree with Kia though..the longer you wait the harder it will be. The baby isnt going anywhere and your mom will learn to accept it.. My mom always told me shed be more hurt if she felt i couldnt trust her enough to come to her with it. It may take her some time but babies are wonderful and you have to tell her.. Hiding it will only make it worse and hurt your baby. You need to start thinking like a mommy now and what is best for your child.

Do not try and hide it! I'm 15 and 33 weeks pregnant and believe me it's easier to tell them sooner rather than later, your parents will understandably be angry but it *will* pass. Good luck

Hiya babe, I know you must be scared of telling your mum, and I think all us teen mums to be feel that way but like Danni said, it not as easy to hide as you think. I'm 15 also and 21 weeks pregnant, carrying my little girl and trust me the sooner the better. I'm lucky as I have a fantastic mum and she is only 35 so she understood and I know this isn't always the case with some girls but I know it would be better to tell your mum soon. Congratulations on your pregnancy, carrying your own child is so special and I'm sure you'll know what I mean in time.

Hey there I was so scared to tell my mom I didn't want to disappoint her I am terrified of disappointment. Yet, I did it anyways. But if you tell her sooner you can talk to her about all the questions you have. You can talk to her if your scared, ya know that way you don't have to talk to someone your not as comfortable with. You still can by all means. But some things are easier to talk about to your mom. At least in my opinion. you can pm me if you want.
