How do I tell my mother I’m pregnant?

I’m 24 F, married for 2 years and together for coming up on 5. My husband and I own our house and both have stable jobs. Last year we fell on some financial hardship but have a good chunk of change coming in a few months from my husbands grandmothers will. 

My mother is not against us having kids but is very adamant that we “aren’t ready”. My mother was 22 when she got pregnant with me (the oldest) and was only with my dad for less than a year. She had my sister 22 months later and married our father a year after that. My mother says that I talk about having kids too much and that she’s “too young to be a grandmother”. She claims my father feels the same but he has only ever showed me support on the matter and can’t wait to be a grandfather. 

My husband and I have been set on having kids from the very beginning and there is nothing that either of us want more in life than to be parents. We had planned on starting earlier but my sister moved across country for school and begged me to wait until she got home because she didn’t want to miss a second of my pregnancy. She comes home in a few weeks so my husband and I decided it was time to start trying. 

I had my birth control implant removed last week and we are now actively trying to convince. We are both happy and content with our decision to start this journey but I’m terrified to tell my parents. My husband and I have decided to wait until I start showing to tell them but I’m afraid that she will be furious with me for not telling her right away, as she has done this before with much more mundane things. My sister, who is much closer to our mother, says that she’ll be happy for us once it happens but I have a hard time believing that after all that she’s said. 

I couldn’t be more ready to be a mother and I can’t wait any longer or ask my husband to wait either. How should I approach this with my mother?
