I can't sleep! I'm telling my mom tomorrow via Skype and I'm so nervous!! It's her first grandchild and I'm just afraid to teller her because if I have to "un-tell her" I don't know if she could bare it.. But I can't keep it from her any longer its killing me!
I just needed to vent you ladies are the best lil family!
Any words of wisdom would be great! Xoxoxo

    If you're not ready to tell her, then don't tell her yet.  It's okay to wait.

    I would wait... But that's me. I will also have to do via Skype as she in London.

    Good luck! (: Just be very optimistic, don't even think about the possibility of having to "un-tell" her. I can see where some people choose to wait, but it would kill me. As soon as I knew I was pregnant I had to tell my mother.

    I told my own mother during my first pregnancy (her first grandchild), which we unfortunately lost. I do not regret telling her simply because we could lean on each other for support.

    I was worried about telling my parents and getting their hopes up, too, in case something happened. But I'm really glad I did because if anything does happen, I really would need all the support and prayers I could get.

    It's okay to wait if you don't feel ready, but don't underestimate how much support you might need from her in case something did happen, especially if you two are close.

    I held off for 2 weeks after my home test to tell my mom. It's still pretty early (I'm 7wks tomorrow). My last pregnancy ended in MC and my mom was there for me, including bringing me dinner and keeping my 2yo while I was in the hospital. If something bad were to happen again this pregnancy, I would need her help and support. Your mom will be by your side no matter what, so I think it's fine to tell. We haven't told anyone else, yet, and don't plan on it until we can't hide it, just because of my previous MC.
