What would you do in a situation like this:
You are 18. You are pregnant. You come from quite a Catholic family and they think premarital sex is wrong. Your family has a good friendship with the priest of your local church.
What would you do in this situation?
How would you tell your mother about this?
Thanks for your opinions!

Well you do have other options, you are 18 but seeing as you are from a Catholic family you are probably against the idea of abortion. If you aren't you may want to consider that, you are 18 so your parents wouldn't have to know. If you are against that idea then sooner or later you will have to tell your mom. There is no easy way to do it, maybe write her a letter and leave for the day so she has a chance to think before she reacts. Before you tell anybody you need to think about what you want to do, it's your body and the rest of your life. Picture yourself 10 years from now and imagine what your life will be like as a single parent. Telling your mom is the actually going to be the easiest part, just be sure to consider all your options before you make any major decisions. I was in a similar situation a year ago so I know how you feel. Good Luck!

There is really no easy way to tell mom you are pregnant. Other than, mom, i'm pregnant! Take her aside, sit her down and tell her. Be prepared for the worst.
How is your relationship with your dad? I think i would worry more about what he would think and say. Mom's are usually a little more understanding with this stuff.
Maybe you can have some reinforcement with you when you do tell them.
What about your best friends mom? Would she be willing to help with this?
I know, it's a tough call, but you obviously have to talk to her. How far along are you?
I was in your situation, and so were 2 of my daughters. When they told me i was numb for a while and i wouldn't speak to them. But i accepted it.
When i got pregnant at 19, my mom threw me out. But as a few months passed she liked the idea and started to contact me. Her first grandchild is now 32 years old and her favorite. Your parents love you. They will be hurt, upset, they will probably cry but, you made a mistake (or did you) and that the life goes sometimes.
My question to you is where did birth control come into play here?
