My mom told me she didnt want to hear I’m pregnant until I was 35. Well, here i am 19 sitting on the toilet bawling my eyes out because I’m pregnant. Never mind that, I’m with someone whom I’ve been friends with over 7 years but only dating for 6 months, so I started crying more. I waited a few days and then Easter came, I had to lie to my family and say I was working because I didnt want to be there with morning sickness and my mom figure it out. That following monday I called her bawling and I said “I know you’ll hate me and probably not want anything to do with me…but I’m pregnant” and I heard her gasps, and then squeal, with happiness! She said “oh my god, I’m so happy! Congratulations!” Little backstory; my mom had had a massive heart attack a month prior and was very lucky to be alive, the doctor told her they dont usually see people survive the type of heart attack she had. Then she said “I knew I was kept here for a reason, it was to meet that precious baby, are yo,u okay? Do you need anything?” Which made me cry even more. You might think your mom wont approve, but you never know. And if she does react badly all you can do is keep moving forward. This is your body, your life, you choose what you do with it and no one else.
Hay Mom, I am pregnant.
My daughter was 20 when she got pregnant. I was upset when she told me for a few reasons but as time went on I accepted it. My Grandson is now 3 years old and he’s my world. Please, if she reacts the way I did, give her time. She’s your Mom and you are her world. She will most likely feel the same way as me after she’s she’s that adorable little human that will be her Grand baby. Congrats
Just tell her u have something to tell her
U are not the first and not the last
Very hard to do
But u need her now more than eney think
If your old enough to move out you are responsible for yourself she may be angry at first but she will come round I did have 2 beautiful granddaughters now x
She’s strict? You’re an adult and have your own place. It’s time to grow up now, you’re going to be a mother.
You’re an adult. She can’t be mad lmao. If she’s really gonna throw a fit, focus on your own families life.
I was 18 when o got pregnant, my mom’s what I call the fun killer. Anyhow she was already mad at me for getting married to who I did the way I did. And I was mad my ex was still living there anyway! I just told her, I found out I was pregnant. I was an adult that had already made decisions I did and I didn’t care at the time.
I was 20 and my boyfriend and i had just split up and i moved back in with my parents and i found out i was pregnant. My mom was pissed but my dad was happy. Now they don’t go one weekend without seeing her. They hated my boyfriend but they absolutely love eachother now. We got back together and worked through everything.
Just tell her, you don’t live under her roof, you support yourself there’s really nothing she can say 
just tell her dont drag it out
My parents wanted to literally kill me when I told them… and we’re so upset… by the time I found out the sex my mom couldn’t stop shopping for the baby. Once he was born both of my parents fell in love with him, and tell me all the time he’s the best thing I have ever done… they will come around!! Maybe not at first but it’s ok once they see the baby everything will change. I honestly think my parents love my son more then they love me or my siblings lol
A “Grandma” t-shirt or something. Congrats.
Just do it I thought my mom would be upset with me when I found out about my second but I realized my mom is my rock I told her I think I’m pregnant I was living on my own and when she got off work she brought me a test and sure enough I was I cried thinking she be mad but she wasn’t she hugged me and said it’s ok it’s fine and seemed happy for me
What does her opinion do for you?? Does it help you or hurt you?? If it ends up hurting you them you can safely keep a distance until she comes to terms with the decision you both made. It’s your life and your partner not hers. She good no If all she will do is be negative towards you. If you fear telling her then clearly you don’t have a healthy relationship with her to begin with. Good news such as this is typically something you want to share and can’t wait to. Anyone that is afraid of telling their mother doesn’t need to. News like this should be shared and celebrated not feared.
Just say guess what grandma
Hug her tell her you love her and are so excited you’re pregnant!
If your afraid to tell her, buy a picture frame that says grandma & me, a pair of baby shoes, a bib or something, wrap it in a box and put a note in there that says congratulations your going to be a grandma!
Mother’s day will be coming up… give her a picture of the ultersound if you have one by then or a card saying happy grandmas day.
Your an adult and have your own place if your happy be happy even if she doesnt agree with it. If your partner’s happy be happy with them your mom doesn’t get to decide for you anymore. Congratulations on the baby
Oof. I was 18, 21 and 25. My parents were disappointed each time. However, my ex wasn’t good for me and they worried, with good reason, plus the ‘out-of-wedlock’ thing. My 3rd, I got married while I was pregnant. They love all my kids! How is y’alls relationship? Are you close? How is your your relationship with you bf? How are finances? She may just be worried. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. The hurt/disappointment she may have will subside. If not, her loss. You just keep living your life and prove people wrong.
I thought my mom was gonna be mad too, but she was actually pretty excited. 
Your a grown woman living with your partner, paying your own bills, just tell her and let her deal with it. Ideally I’d hope my daughter would be married first but it doesn’t always happen and even if you were it doesn’t mean it always works. As long as you and your partner are happy and can take care of the lil one then there is not a thing she can do about it…
Just tell her. She may not approve but it’s just out of respect and courtesy
just say ''Hey Mom , You gonna be Grandma ‘’ then watch for the reaction …
Just tell her your 20 and on your own
I was 19 and I thought my mom and dad were gonna kill me and my boyfriend but no they weren’t exactly excited but they weren’t mad either and immediately they started talking to us about doctors and making sure that me and the baby are well taken care of now I’m due in less then a month and they have done so much for us and there super excited. Somtimes it never feels like the right time to tell them but once you do you will feel so much better. The way I told them I had my boyfriend said we have something to tell you guys and I had the test and I slid the test in front of them
It’s not like you’re a teenager living at home. Just tell her. She will probably be disappointed and unhappy about it at first because you aren’t married first, but at least you are adult enough to have your own place with your boyfriend. Plus you don’t want to keep it a secret to long and have someone else accidentally leak the secret. It will take a little bit if time for her to overcome the shock before she’s happy about it, but it’s best to just rip that bandaid off and get it over with.
How i my marriage was restored
Hello friends i want to share my testimony and how grateful I am since my lover came back to me because of the great help from a powerful spell caster DR.Pascal whose email address is [drpascalcare@gmail.com ] rendered to me. My girlfriend broke up with me on the first week of December last year because she thought I was cheating on her, she told me that her friends has been telling her that I have been seeing someone else when she was not around. I tried to make her understand that her friends were lying to her but she did not give me the chance to explain to her this was how she left me. After a month of our breakup I tried to live a normal life without her but it was very hard for me to cope then I decided to contact DR.pascal after seeing several testimonies about his great work. which I came across this year march 15th during my search looking for help on how to get my lover back. DR.pascal then cast a love spell for me and made my lo,ver to come back to me within the period of 48hours. With this great joy in my heart I want to say a big thank you to DR.pascal.

Your mom is your mom shell always love you when that child is born she will love it as much as she loved you.
Wait till you give birth and send her a pic 
o
Okay first you live on your own your a grown adult who makes your own decisions she has no room to judge or be mad hope for the best and just tell her now if you lived with her it would be a different story
Just tell her. That is the only way. Just tell her
Girl I was in the same situation at the same age. I was terrified. My mama is a bible thumper, very strict. I waited til I was 7mo. (I’m a bigger girl already so I hid it easily during winter) but I was so scared, I wrote a note, and mailed it to her. (She lived 5min away from me but i still mailed it) she called me 2 days after i know she got it and wasnt mean or anything. I guess she just dealt with it. Shes been more supportive of my daughter than she ever was with me growing up. Shes 15 now and they still had a great connection. (There was also my fear of the race issue. We weren’t exactly raised to mix races)
I got pregnant at 18 and my mom wasnt mad enough to make it a big deal. She definitely was mad but it goes away. Just tell her. The longer you wait the harder its gonna be.
I went up to my mom at her work and said “So, you like babies right?”.
Just say “congratulations, you’re going to be a grandma!” And let her take it and process it however she chooses to.
Just tell her. You might be surprised at her reaction. I think she will accept it and be very happy about it.
I wish I hadve told my mum, I am 20 as of last month and due in June. My sister told my mum but she ended up being fine with it.
Send her an invitation to your baby shower, hosted at her house ( KA BOOM )
I was 19 when i got pregnant and had my son not long after i turned 20, i thought my mom was going to angry with me, if she was she didn’t show it. She loves my son and she would never change it. My son is now 22 and i also have a 17 year old daughter. My mom was there for both births. My sons father was nowhere near. (Which was a good thing) i think you are working yourself up for no reason. Good luck!
Try to make it a cute moment! Find something that says ”grandma” on it or something and gift it to her when you’re ready to tell her!
Just tell her and if she’s not happy about well then oh well. It’s your baby first from here and until you die
When my daughter told me I was so excited. She was 20 .
I love you Mom and Grandma 
It’s your baby, mum will adjust. Don’t let her attitude stress you. Enjoy your first baby. 
Send a sonogram picture and Love you Mom meet your grandchild ?
If you’re living with your partner, your mom isn’t that strict lol. You’ll be fine. Tell her when you feel ready.
You’re an adult, just do it and get over it. I was 14 when I was pregnant with my first, shits scary but I still did it 
I mean hell, if you can’t even tell your mommy you’re pregnant how you gonna take care of a child? You too afraid to do anything
I was 21 when i found out i was prego my partner and i currently lived with her i wrote her a note amd left it for her on my way to work i called later that day to see if she read it she was pissed n gave me and ultimatum …get rid of it or get out so we started looking for places to live here we are 12 years later n my mom adors my kid always aaking about her n ehatches her if i need it n my mom and i have gotten closer over the years. If ur mom gets mad i think itll be temporary good luck
Let me say first of all, there is no “right time” or “perfect moments” life is chaotic and beautiful if you allow to let THAT mindset sink in. If you’re happy about it, and proud of the fact you’re about to be a mommy, you should be able to feel like you can scream from the roof tops! If your mom gets upset, sometimes and most of the time, sooner is always better, it gives them a bit of time to readjust to the IDEA of a new baby coming into the world, sometimes, telling people can be a scary thing. You’re 20, and an adult, a responsible one from the sounds of it, be happy about it! Some people aren’t able to get pregnant, the baby is a blessing no matter the outcome. Congratulations new mama to be, prayers sent your way! Xoxo
I was 19 when I had my first, she didn’t make it. Then at 21 my husband now boyfriend then had a daughter. Planned! Moved in together when I was 8 months and made it work. Today we are together at 32 with a 9 turning 10 and 4 turning 5 year old. We made it work, got moaned at from a dizzy height by my mom when she found out I was pregnant but it was my body, my choice. Deal with the situation and hold your head up high, don’t let others damper your moment of this bundle of joy. Inbox me if you need any advice.
I was 38 when I got pregnant for the first time and I was still scared to tell my parents
You’re an adult, just tell her. Strict or not she should be happy as long as you’re happy.
Parents are never happy with it happens at a wrong time in their minds, but when the baby comes everything will change and your mom will absolutely adore your child! My parents were like that and 5 years later my child has them wrapped around her finger! Keep your head up and keep pushing forward
I was 19 and honestly your a adult. Shoulnt be scared to tell anyone , you should be happy. Just relax and wait til the times right but no need to ve scared or anything.
If u have ur own place then dong worry what ur mom thinks ur doing good for urself
Just tell her. If She’s not happy about it, it’s her problem, not yours. You’re a grown woman ffs…
You are an adult with your own place and hopefully you both have your own job I understand having respexr for tour mother but she can not control you anymore. If you want baby keep the baby, be happy not nervous or anxious about telling her. Awns her a package through the mail with a baby onsie, a pregnancy test and a letter telling her how you feel. If she gets angry oh well live your life
I got pregnant with my 2nd (first was miscarried, but never told family til way later) when I was 20, and told my mom. She was happy, only thing was, I couldn’t go to the bar on my 21 B-day. (I like to drink sometimes, and when I could legally, I wasn’t aloud to XD cause I cared more for my baby then a drink. so I’m happy that day either way, and the month after my B-day, baby girl was here.)
A baby is one of those things that is a miracle and a privilege, if your old enough to be with someone then your old enough to tell anyone with pride. Including your parents.
First tell your mom that you’re getting married. Then when she ask when, tell her before your grandchild is born.
I was 20 when my first was born…19 when I found out…my mom was in room with me when I found out (i wasn’t expecting to be told that) so I guess I got lucky on not having to tell her lol but when I called my dad I just blurted it out as quick as I could apologizing the whole time. Looking back on it now, I was more scared to tell them then I should of been but I was young. Now that child will be 18 next month and she and her younger brothers are the best things that have ever happened. You got this. Make your plan and then just tell her when your ready.
I would just tell your an adult
Same I had just turned 20 two weeks before I had my first baby and I didnt have a mom just a crazy strict dad. I was terrified to tell him but when I did he didn’t freak out he just said “there’s no point in getting mad, I can’t change it” I’m now 27 with 2 kids and he is wrapped around both their fingers
You live with your partner not your mom so don’t even stress if she is strict, you don’t live with her so you don’t have to abide by her rules. Second I would wait until you’re a bit further, just to make sure everything is ok and that you are for sure pregnant just in case it was a faulty test and such
i was 21 when i was pregnant with my daughter. i wasnt in a very stable relationship. my daughter was a huge surprise as we used protection. but it happened. my mom was sad and happy. im an only child. so i was her only shot at grandchildren but she was supportive. i think she worried more that i wasnt with a guy that was going to marry me and take care of us and she was correct. i was a single mom for 10 years when i met someone else and we are married and i have a son as well. anyway she may surprise you. my mom surprised me. she loved my daughter so much and helped me when i went back to work with babysitting and even took my daughter and i in for a while when her dad and i fell apart. not for long though because shes my mom i love her but she drove me nuts! i was so afraid to tell her but it wasnt anywhere near as bad as i thought it would be. good luck!
Meet in person
And tell her
Mom I need to tell you something that will bring up a mix of emotions. I am pregnant . I know that you would liked me to wait but no one better than you to understand that things happen and I’m also a lil scared. I couldn’t wait to tell you but didn’t know how to tell you.
Please don’t feel like you have to hide it from anyone! Be happy and enjoy every minute of your pregnancy. I was 19 with my first daughter. I felt ashamed and like I had to hide it but I regret it now! I didn’t even have a baby shower and a lot if my family found out once I was in the hospital! Just tell your mom, she might be upset at first but I can guarantee you she’ll still love you and your baby!!! Prayers for you! 
Cannot stress this enough … Be Honest & upfront with her!
I’m a strict Mom (at least that’s what my kids say…) when my 18 year old daughter found out she was pregnant she was scared to tell me. What broke my heart wasn’t the fact that she was pregnant (I wouldn’t trade my Moonpie for the world) it was the fact that she was afraid to tell me.
Not going to beat around the bush & tell you that it was smooth in the beginning as the whole situation was started with lies & broken trust. However ~ I reminded her that she is an adult and that I will never stop loving her. All that I have ever asked is that she be honest & forthcoming.
My grandson is almost 3 months old and has been such a blessing for our Family. Because of him, I see how my “strictness” is helping her be a better Mother & a better person. 
Give your strict Mom a chance.
Alissa Quattlebaum
You’re 20. Really, your mom can’t do anything. You’re an adult. If you still live with her, you may need to move out, but not being honest will make things worse when the truth comes out later. You made a grown up decision, so you’ll need to face it like a grown up.
My daughter just came and told me she is pregnant on Thursday. She will be 19 in 2 weeks. While I was not happy about it I love her and will stand beside her 100% the whole way…we just got her away from the boy about 3 weeks ago. He has some abusive tendencies that are not good for her.
Honestly I’d say just tell her. You are living with your partner so she shouldnt be suprised at this being a possibility. Strict or not she might even be excited about a new grandbaby. You are a grown woman so dont let it make you feel bad. But I can speak from personal experience (not from my parents though) that any family member that gets mad about your pregnancy or doesn’t want to be involved will eventually come to regret that decision.
My daughter was 21 when she found out she was pregnant. I can’t speak for your mom but one of the best things my daughter has ever done is given me 3 beautiful grandchildren at this point!! You are an adult and I can’t promise but I’m sure she will soften over time if not right away. Best of everything to you and your baby!
Most babies are “unplanned” but we love them dearly because they are a part of us and our future. Tell Mom she is going to be a Grandma and you would appreciate her support. I pray she is a loving & accepting person. I have 8 Grands & they are the joy of my life!
God bless you & your baby
You’re old enough to be pregnant and out on your own. I can see mom wanting the best for you. All moms do. She will be happy once she sees that baby. Congratulations. This is a time to celebrate.
Congratulations! I was 19 when I found out we were expecting our first son. My mom cried for 3 days but never turned her back on us. I was very blessed that both sides of our family supported us. She may surprise you. Include her in special moments like hearing the babies heart beat, ultrasound etc. Babies are a true blessing!
Your an adult sweetie just tell your mom long as your happy and your partner happy . And your health of the baby is good just tell mom or surpise her with a sonogram frame picture
Congratulations first of all. Love babies.
Now tell your mom sooner then later. I was 19 with my first pregnancy and was scared to tell my mom even more afraid to well my dad…It all worked out better then expected. I was never close to my dad but always been with my mom. Glad I didnt wait to tell them. Gave us time to work out any problems before baby arrived. Good luck
Congrats! You should tell her sooner rather than later. It will be done and over with and u can move on and enjoy ur pregnancy!
Like everyone else has said… u r an adult and though u r wanting her response to be happy and excited… it may not be and that is on her! If u and ur partner r happy, that’s ALL that matters!
Just tell her . even though she is strict she will love her grandchild . give her the benefit of the doubt .be brave . she might be shocked or upset . she is only human and so are you . after you tell her let. Her know that you love her and wish to have her be a part of the babies life.good luck
Considering I got pregnant when I was 19 with my first and my parents were more mad they found out from my brother than the fact of being pregnant in the first place… as long as you actually tell her you’ll be fine lol this one (third baby and with a different man) I just gave my mom the pics from the first ultrasound and said “you’re going to be a grandma again” she didn’t seem thrilled but she also didn’t seem horribly upset and neither did my dad. For me in my situation it was more the fact that I actually told them in person this time around. You don’t want to keep something big like that from someone who trusts you
Maybe give her a grandma something… picture of ultrasound in a frame or coffee mug that says worlds best grandma. After the initial shock… which is just her being a mother wanting you to be older or makes stable or married etc but she she will soon realize that she is about to meet the most precious gift… her child’s child… no love will ever compare to that …
Just tell her if you are happy that’s all that matters you’re going to be the mom so even if she is not happy at first she will come around. Congratulations being a mother is the greatest gift you will ever have 
Just tell her… chances are she’ll already have her suspicions. As you are an adult living with your boyfriend, she probably figures there’s hanky panky going on… and she’ll appreciate your honesty. She might even be really excited
Have you and your partner invite Mom over for dinner. Let her see your maturity and stability. Have the dinner and deserts be baby themed, like baby carrots, peas in a pod, buns from the oven, pigs in a blanket, burger sliders, etc… then give her a gift of some kind that is baby themed, like a 1000 Grand candy bar, a onesie or pair of booties.
My mom told me I couldnt afford a baby.I was 20 when i had my little girl and married for 2 yrs.
My dad told her that no one can afford a baby.
But,she cried when i came out of Delivery and things changed from there!
I was 19 when I got pregnant with my first. My mom cried initially, she had hoped I’d be more “settled” in life. But she came around and was so supportive.
My mom was pretty strict growing up. Raised Irish catholic in s private school. Honestly was terrified to tell her I was pregnant. I was married by 19 and divorced by 22 and pregnant with my first born at 23 so you can see why she might be shocked but honestly she was so glad it wasnt with my ex husband. My parents were thrilled. She loves my husband. She might surprise you. Grandchildren are a very special gift
Honestly the best thing you can do is just come right out and tell her. Don’t worry about her reaction or even her acceptance. Just tell her and prepare yourself to be a mother.
Wait for an ultrasound pic. Send her the pic with a congratulations gramma on it either way, You’re gonna be a mommy and that’s the best news ever!
You’re a grown girl. It’s not your responsibility to worry about how she’s going to take it.
I wish somebody told me at 20 to do what makes you happy, so girl… Do what makes you happy!
You’re 20, and living on your own. Her response may matter, but it has nothing to do with you. Just tell her.
Tell her now. The longer you wait the worse it will be. Act like an adult and don’t beg her to accept it. Don’t be a bully about it but stand up for you and your baby. Boyfriend should be there to support you!
You’re an adult. Asking this question is crazy unless you live with your mother and she is your only means of support. Tell her , you’re a big girl now😂
Believe me. I know exactly what you are talking about. I got pregnant by my boyfriend at 19. My mom figured it out just watching me.
Be positive and happy, your parents will be scared since it’s a life commitment but if you been living together its bound to happen. Congratulations
Chances are your Mom already knows. Moms know things. Sense things. Just say, Mom I’m pregnant and I hope you will be happy for me. Plain and simple.
Nothing she can do about it now , I bet if she is a little upset once baby is born she will love the child . Well I hope she does .
