I think probably you just need to give your mom space for a bit maybe.... She will be mad for a bit but maybe she will come around? thats what happens in most cases.. I hope she starts feeling betterabout this whole thing soon..

Staying at your boyfriends for a few days (or a bit more even) sounds like a good idea. She's just been hit with a bombshell (not that it's a bad thing, it's just a big thing) so she definitely needs some time to absorb it. No matter what she's your mom and she'll always love you. My mom loves me but is still having trouble with my decision (and I'm 29 weeks!), though she's less sad then my dad. They are letting me stay with them until I move into my fiancé's, but they no longer support me financially (b/c they don't support my decision), so be prepared for the challenges. It's hard for parents because they had a plan for their child to go to college, get a job, ect. and so they think all that is over. My parents still try to convince me that I'm going to have such a hard life and not be able to do what I want. I don't believe that though. Being happy is worth a bit of a struggle, and you can still be able to do what you want (it just might be delayed a bit). I am happy, and that's what matters to me, you just have to fight for it a bit.

i found out i was pregnant when i was 17.
i told my mom, and she was no where near happy. now that im further along and things are beginning to seem more "real" she is excited to be a grandma! so just give it time, it is a big shock afterall.

Funny things parents, they are ussually upset and shocked, give it a couple weeks, then maybe ask her if she wants to come to the scan with you, then its a magical thing for all of you.
Bet you a couple of months down the line she is baby clothes shopping with you.

Hi everyone,my name is jes,
i just signed up on this site a few days ago and have just been reading heaps of stuff people have said.
This place is awesome, everyone is great.
Anyway yesterday i found out i am pregnant, which i'm so over the moon about, but i'm really worried about finances and also telling my fiance's parents, well his mum grew up in a catholic family and its like no sex before marriage kind of thing, and we've just gotten engaged, which was good timing
i work from home running my own business, my fiance works full time in a good job, but we don't have our own house yet which were the plans before having a baby.
I was on the pill, so its hard to know how i still got pregnant from that, even though i have change pills recently, well 2 months ago.
Does anyone have advice or experienced trying to tell catholic parents that your pregnant when your not married yet??
thanks everyone
hope to talks soon
-Jes
