I understand how scared you must be, I'm 18 (found out I was pregnant 5 days after my 18th birthday) and my biggest fear was telling my parents. I was always raised by 'abortion, adoption or you're gone' so I quickly decided that adoption would be what was best for me since my whole life I have been against abortion. It took me 3 days to tell my parents, each time I would go to leave the house I would break down in tears from the guilt I had not being able to tell them until I finally sent my mom a text saying 'I want to talk to you' when I got home the next day she sat me down and asked what was wrong, I felt like I was going to pa__s out or throw up but I pulled myself together and simply said 'I'm pregnant.'
When something this huge happens in a young girls life, a mother can't be mad. She has nothing but sympathy and a hurt heart for you, she will feel guilty that she couldn't protect you from it. My relationship with my mom has only benefited from my being pregnant. All you can do is be honest and the longer you wait the less options you will have. In Canada you have until week 12 to have an abortion, I'm not sure what it is in the states.
All I can tell you is there is nothing more amazing then feeling your child's first movements, hearing his/her heartbeat and seeing that little face in an ultrasound awaiting the day you finally can meet your wee one. My son is due in just over 7 weeks and my decision of pro life and keeping him for myself has been the best thing to ever happen to me, if It's what you want a loving family will always support you decision
