How do I tell my mother I am pregnant?

Question

I am 29 years old and I am pregnat. but this is the thing, my mother moved in with me last year and she is going to move out but not until January.I am jsut trying to figure out how to tell her I am pregnant without her beingdisgusted with me. This is my second pregnancy (my first child is 4). But I feel like I am too old to run to an abortion clinic like a scared child. How should I tell her?

Answer 1

why is there any OTHER reason aside than that??

i don't see any reason for u to get scared to tell her.........unless u are not in a secure relationship??? is that the reason why??

Answer 2

Maybe you _should_ go for that abortion. If you didn't want the kid in the first place, why should it have to suffer with you as its mom.

Answer 3

why would she be disgusted? your other child needs a sibling! good luck :)

Answer 4

Well its your place and it might have not been planned, if you mom can't deal with you having another child then that's her problem, and if you ddon'twant this child give it up for adoption, not abortion its not the baby's fault. I just recently adopted a baby who's mother did every thing she could to get rid of it but lluckilyhe was born with no real problems so I know there is families wanting to adopt I would adopt again in a heart beat.  

Answer 5

Why would you run away to an abortion clinic to hide your pregnancy?. You are 29 years old, old enough to make your own desicions.  Sit down like an adult and tell her that you are pregnant and you want to keep the baby. I dont know how is your situation with the father of the baby but going to an abortion clinic it's not the solution...I know she will understand.

Answer 6

lets see you are 29 and have a child already. you are now pregnant again you have made the choice not to run off and abort the baby. you have a place of your own and if i am reading this right your mother is under YOUR roof. you are not under hers. so why give a flyingg hoot what she thinks. if she is upset she will get over it. there is a heck ofalott more things wrong in this world then yougivingn her another grandchild. and if shedon'tt like the idea firmly say mom i love you but this is my body my choice and my life. i have opened up my home to you and wish you to respect me for my choices being they are good or bad in your eyes.  if they ticks her off so be it. she has made the choice already to move from YOUR house in a couple of months. i understand you wanting to seek your mothers ok. it is a thing event hough most people dont see always tend to do. but by no means should you have to fear your mother. and like i said if she is disgusted then tell her look get over it.  

Answer 7

I don't know your mother but I don't see why she would be disgusted. Unless you don't know who the father is... Please don't settle for an abortion. Take your mother to dinner and tell her you have some exciting news... then tell her "Mom I'm going to have another baby!". Good luck. An it's better now than waiting because it'll just get worse.

Answer 8

Just come out and tell her.  You are by no means a child anymore, and you can do whatever you want with your life.  I am assuming you are not married, thats why you don't want to tell her.  I give you props for not wanting to go to an abortion clinic.  That baby deserves a life just like you and I do.  She will more than likely get over it anyway, most mothers do when it comes to a grandchild.  My mom was surprisely happy when I found out I was pregnant.  Upset that I was only 20 and not married, but she loves my little girl so much!

Answer 9

You are a grown women who is responsible for herself and her children and housing your mother. Why would she be disgusted with you? And I commend you for not "running to the abortion clinic" It sad that so many women are using abortions like birth control these days. Your a woman who takes care of her responsibilities so I can't see why she would be disgusted with you.  

Answer 10

You are 29 years old and already a mom. You tell her honestly, and if she starts to criticize, you tell her that you are not looking for approval. You don't need her permission to have a child, and you aren't a little kid who doesn't know what the real world is like.

Congratulations and good luck!

Answer 11

You're not a child anymore, and you really shouldn't be seeking her approval. Just tell her it's good that she'll be moving out in January because you have another little one on the way. That ought to get the point across. :) Good luck to you.

Answer 12

Why are you beign scared to tell her? are you embarrased for anything? it's your decision only

Answer 13

ok your 29 yrs old y cant u just say hey im pregnant get over it? you cant please everybody and if she gets mad shell get over it! abortion is not a form of birth control u shouldve thought about that before having unprotected s*x. good luck

Answer 14

you shouldn't be scared to tell your mom that your pregnant,because you are ll grown up and you should be able to make your own choice's if she cant except the fact that your pregnant then she's the child not you

Answer 15

your mother is living with you and you're worried what she'll think of you?? seems like the rolls have switched a little and she should be seeking your approval, not the other way around.

Live your life, not hers!

Answer 16

Are you serious?  You're plenty old enough to tell her, and if she's disgusted...then so be it.  Don't live by someone else's standards of what you shouldn't or should do.

Answer 17

you are an adult. and she is living with you. just tell her that you are going to bring a special child into this world, and honestly if she don't like it, she can meet the brick outside. i assume you are not married. YOu are doing great as a single parent already, and by the time your first one goes to school, you will have the next one. I am 27, so i know. i am married but hubby deployed to iraq 3 times in 5yrs, and was gone a total of 36months. i was a single parent. now he will be home the entire time, which we are delighted. but if your mom don't like it, its only 4 months she can deal with it and live in YOUR home, or she can get out.
