Okay, so it's not for SURE yet, but I might be pregnant. I had sex while I was ovulating without protection, and he came RIGHT inside me because he didn't feel it coming. and I've been very emotional more than usual(and it's been hell.), been nauseous, and I just have a gut feeling I might be pregnant.

My mom decided randomly in the doctors office on Thursday when I sprained my ankle to give me another sex talk. -_-

She told me she doesn't want me having sex, because of STDs and getting pregnant and stuff. I asked her, "what if I do get pregnant...?" and she told me my life was basically over and ruined, and that my life would be hell. I asked her if she would kick me out and she said of course not, but she would never trust me again and I would have the biggest punishments of my life.

I'm not worried about not being supported by the father, he said he'll stand by me and be with me and help me through it because he loves me and it would be OUR baby.

What if I am pregnant? I decided to take a pregnancy test on April 5th if I don't get my period until then, (I'm due March 24-31st) but what if I am...

how do I tell my mother?

Well, you don't know if you are for sure yet. I would take the test first. See what the results of the pregnancy test are. Your mother is only trying to be supportive of you. She is worried, because she knows that you are way too young to get pregnant. But if you are pregnant, you are going to have to tell her. Just find a nice quiet time, and just talk to your mother about it. Just be brave about it. If you want your mother to support you through all of this, you have to be brutally honest. Tell her the whole truth. I hope things go well for you. :)

This is virtually perfect advice.

Don't blurt it out to her in an inappropriate place and don't start by confronting her. Tell her exactly what happened in a calm way in a calm environment, that way you're most likely to get a positive or at least a non-explosive reaction from your mother.

There's no point in hiding it because you're scared of the punishment - before she even told you when you asked, I'm sure you knew how she would react, so don't attempt to use that as an excuse. As soon as you have some form of proof that you are/could be pregnant, tell your mother sooner rather than later. If you are pregnant, the later you leave it to tell her, the angrier she will be.

You may not like it, but your mother is right. Emergency contraception - probably abortion. If you won't do that, you'll fuck yourself over massively. Seriously. If you can't go ahead with it, of course, Symone and Jesse have wonderful advice for you. I'm sure she won't punish you - "Right, that's it, you're grounded for 9 months"
