just need to vent a little :((

It is getting rather difficult to be excited about baby when my mother is so NOT excited. She is right, I am younger than I would like to be for my first baby, (I'll be 20 in a few weeks) but I always imagined that my mom would be excited with me during my pregnancy. Don't we all imagine that's how it will be? Well it's just a big slap in the face. Yes, I am young. But I got pregnant. And both my boyfriend and I are committed to having this baby and making the best life possible for him/her. Personally, of course I am excited about having a baby. Which of us isn't?! I wish my mother wasn't such a debbie downer. 

I hope everyone is loving their pregnancies and all your mothers are extremely excited for you right along with you!

I would suggest you give her time and I'm sure she'll come around, especially when she finally sees her grandchild.

I agree with pp.  She maybe disappointed because it obviously isn't how you or she planned to have the first child, but things happen.  Once it starts to become more real to her she will hopefully come around. 

 My SIL had a child at the same age and her mother told us the other day that though she was disappointed at first, her grandchild is the biggest blessing.

I hope she comes around!

Cheer up! Every mother envisions her "dream life" for her kids, and your mom is probably just not mentally or emotionally prepared. I agree with the other poster, she'll come around.  Maybe if you have a heart-to-heart with her and tell her how you feel, and tell her how much you'd love her support right now, she'll change her tune.

I was 19 when I got pregnant with my first child. My Dad (who I am very very close too) broke my heart when he didn't talk to me for four months after I told him that I was pregnant. When I was around 6 months, he came to me crying telling me how dissapointed in himself he was, and how proud he is of me. Even my boyfriend left me when I refused to abort the baby. We have now been together for 6 and a half years, we are married, and expecting our 2nd child. Hang in there, and stick to what is good for YOU! She will come around!

I can definitely relate! I'm 21 and happily married though and my mom still managed to be unhappy! Silly me i thought she would be happy too! She's starting to come around or at least pretending to... Talking to someone who is excited about it definitely helped a little, and after a couple of days of thinking about it i've come to the conclusion that if she cant be happy about it then its not my problem, my responsibility is to take care of myself and the baby growing inside me, learn from the experience and move on. kinda depressing, but try and stay positive, and surround yourself with positive people.
