This is how you should tell your parent if you are pregnant when you are still under them.
Firstly, take a big breath, it's going to be okay.
I'd like to ask, have you thought about your situation properly? I know it's the only thing going round and round in your mind right now, but I mean your choices, your future. Do you want to carry on your pregnancy? Do you think you can mature enough learn to look after a baby? Try and see what you want before discussing it with others, as it's easy to let others sway your mind.
There are lots of ways you can tell your mum, I know it's really frightening. My sister was frightened to tell my mum when she got pregnant even though she was an adult, she was 18. A friend of mine was pregnant at the age of 15. She now has a 11 year old, and she's a brilliant mum! ☺️
You could ask your mum to sit down around the table, maybe with a drink of tea or coffee. Say you have something to talk about; that it is very important and needs to be discussed. Make sure you ask when she is alone. Even if you send a text message from up stairs in your bedroom. “Mum can we talk privately?”. It needs to be told privately without others listening. I don't advise on texting your mum the pregnancy news, I believe it should be said face to face.
Take a deep breath, she will be anticipating what it could be. Then just spit it out “I'm pregnant”. That's the most hardest two words that will come out of your mouth. Once you've said that, a huge weight will come off your shoulders, I promise!
Your mum will be very shocked, she may shout, cry, zone out, walk off. Remember, this is just a big shock reaction, this reaction will not last forever. Let her shout & cry, cry with her if you feel you need to. She won't be doing it for long, it's just a shock reaction. Discuss your pregnancy, discuss how you feel about it. Your wishes, your future, advice or if you wish to have an abortion tell her that's what you want.
It may take a day, a week, or months for your mum to come around to the idea that you are pregnant. Especially if you plan to keep your child. Eventually, she will come around to it. I promise.
Tell your mum sooner, rather than later. The longer you keep it quiet, the harder it will be to tell her.
Sending big hugs! You can do it
