Im Scared to tell my mom im pregnant?

Question

Im turning 19 in January. I just found out im pregnant and im so scared to tell my mom because she's going to be so disappointed in me. Im enrolled in college but have no job. The babys father and his mother are going to help with the baby. My babys father has been there for me making sure im okay. I asked him if he could come over Saturday so i can tell my mom with him so he can tell her that he will help with the baby and everything. Do you guys think thats a good idea by having him be with me when i tell her? Because im scared to tell her by myself because im scared she may curse at me or kick me out! Please help

Honestly, if you respected your mother's wishes and feelings so much then you shouldn't have been having sex while still living under her roof, knowing you would cause massive disappointment, and being fully aware that you're in no position to financially support yourself. Sure, you're an adult but if you don't have a certain type of relationship with a man, a certain level of financial stability, a certain level of education, and a certain type of job then it's best to just keep your legs closed instead of risk getting pregnant.

Def. have your boyfriend be there with you. At this point, both have to take responsibility. Moms will always have their opinions, at the end most want to help and be supportive. Hope she is that type,

Parents often times see us as chikdren even when we are adults. We have to prove to them we are responsible. Have a plan with your boyfriend. Work, school, or both and how to raise a child together.

Something smells fishy here... why does your post say under 18 then? Just tell her - no matter what the situation is - prepare her that it's something serious... And don't lie!

The fact that you are scared to tell her and afraid if getting kicked out of mom's house strongly suggests that you are not ready for adult responsibilities. Have you considered placing the baby for adoption?

Well, I think it is a good idea to have him there with you. You will need to do this sooner or later.

I was 16 when I got preggers and was so scared to tell my parents. Not because I was afraid they would kick me out but that I would disappoint them. Good idea to have boyfriend/friend there for support.
