I am turning 15 next month with a baby along in 5. on my 15th birthday i am moving in with ashley and that is when i am going to tell my mum about him but the reason i am posting this question and am worried is because i dont know weather i should tell her long we have been goin out or wether i should tell her that he is new. as for the baby. she isnt finding out till he is born. or should i tell her. sorry if i havnt made my question clear but im basicly wondering if anyone has any advice on tellin mum how i have a boyfriend and a baby on the way ??

Good luck.

Your mother needs to know these things right now. She'll be upset, of course, but she'll be even more upset about you not confiding in her from the beginning.
You probably can't take him with you when you tell her, but he is going to have to meet her very soon. He's going to be part of your life and part of her family (as the father of her grandchild) from now on, and she'll have to get used to that.
As to how you do it, It's just a matter of sitting down with her, alone, and starting out with the idea of you having a boyfriend, letting her know how long you've known him and how well, and then letting her know that you are expecting and giving her the details.
This will also, I hope make it possible for you to start (if you haven't already) getting proper medical attention for your pregnancy. You should be having regular checkups, taking special vitamins, and things like that. You owe that to your baby.
And good luck to you.
