Re: 16 How do i tell my mom!
Here I'll even give you a script. Sit her down and say "Mom I'm pregnant" there!
Now let me say this. Get spellcheck... seriously! Oh and I so totally call MUD on this...
"Mom, I'm preggles."

Just tell your mom.
And stay in school.
I'm going to pretend that this isn't MUD in case there really is a 16 yo pregnant girl reading this for advice:
It's time to step up- you're going to be a mom and the first step on that journey is to put on your big girl panties and tell your own mother that you're pregnant and that you need some help. You need to start getting prenatal care RIGHT NOW (your chances of having a preterm baby are higher than average) and you need to make a plan about how you're going to be a good mother to this child. (read: educated, hard-working, loving) You need to decide what role this baby's father will play in its life before this child is thrown into the mix. You need to start thinking long term about how you are going to provide for this child.
As for the OPs "question" your speech goes something like this: "Mom, I'm pregnant"
*Lurking all over today because I'm bored*
In case this isn't mud, you should just straight out tell her and tell her SOON, before other people start to find out. You don't want her to hear it from someone else first.
My sister got pg at 19. I was 15 and actually had a casual friend ask me if I was excited about becoming an aunt. I had no idea what she was talking about, and told her she must have been mistaken. My sister phoned home from university that night and told us. I was mortified that I'd looked so stupid that day in school, and it took a long time for me to forgive her for that.
You don't want your mom to hear it from the rumor mill, it will really hurt her. So go deal with it ASAP.
There really isn't a way to tell her that will make it any better. It's like ripping a band aide off you just have to do it.
It's time to start making some responsible decisions for you and your baby. And like PP said stay in school.
Babydaddy? Really? Whatever happened to "father"?
I was pregnant at your age (condom broke once -- I assume you're using a condom?). Luckily for me (at the time), I miscarried naturally as I was certainly not ready to be a mother. Honestly, I would go to Planned Parenthood, get a confidential checkup and start prenatal care, and then if the baby "sticks" beyond 11 or 12 weeks (which it might not), then sit down with your mom and tell her, "Mom, I am pregnant." There's not much else to say.
Stay in school. If you feel too young, immature, or unprepared emotionally or financially to care for a child the proper way (including providing a nurturing environment, health care, saving for college, and all the other things you should do), consider your options. If you are pro-life or just want to give birth to the child, adoption is a wonderful option. Check out the Edna Gladney center.
This!
"Moms, like I'm totally pregante, OMG"
1st: I have to give you some credit for reaching out to people (and not just a girlfriend either)
2nd: breath!
3rd: like everyone else said talk to your mom. she may be mad but she will most likely be your best support.
4th: don't give up on your own personal goals in life... finishing high school, going to college, getting married, having a career, traveling, ect. The plans may have changed a little however still take small steps in your goals. I work with young parents, to often they give up on their dreams, that is when they don't move forward and sad to say it becomes generational.
5th: take care of yourself and good luck!
THIS
I got pregnant with my now 9-year old daughter when I was 16. My mother and I are very close, and I still didn't tell her until I was almost 5 months pregnant, and only then because she asked me.
It was a stupid thing to do, as I went that time without prenatal care, but luckily my daughter was born full-term and healthy. I finished school, her daddy and I are STILL together, and now having baby number 3.
If this is real and you're 16 and pregnant, it's time to grow up. Like, NOW. It doesn't matter "how" you tell your mom, or if you even tell her at all, but please do what you need to do for the health of you and your baby.
HAHAHA! LOL...Now that that's over...
Just tell your mom! Grow up and be an adult at this point because you've basically done it at all and should be treated like an adult. Also consider your options, thats all I'm going to say...oh and this better be real!

But I also agree with the other ladies. If you were going to make MUD, atleast make it fun.
