 OP I wanted to add that while her initial feeling might be that of disappointment, it will hopefully be fleeting and she will become excited about being a grandma shortly after getting the news...

She might be disappointed. She probably will be a bit disappointed that things didn't happen in a different timeline. But it's only because she loves you and wants the best for you. She probably wanted you to enjoy being young, travel, start a career, get married, save up and buy a house, and then have children. Doesn't mean that she won't love her grandchild when it's here. She might be disappointed but she will get over it. Once you tell her and she has time to get used to the idea. Tell her soon. Because otherwise she will be disappointed she wasn't trusted with the information earlier on. And yes, show her that you are ready and understand what having a baby will entail.

you must tell them you are pregnant.
you live with them... will you continue to live with them when your baby is born? what will you do if they don't want a baby in the house?
I admit that as a parent I would be very sad if my child got a girl pregnant and was not married to her. but i'm old fashioned and think that commitment and marriage and living on your own should come before babies.

You're an adult, and you can choose to live your life as you see fit. If your mother is disappointed it is her responsibility to get over it. Things could be so much worse, and this child is a blessing!
