She needs to tell her parents and do it now. She and the baby need prenatal care.
The baby is not going to go away, just because she wants it too.
I'm so sorry that she is in this mess. Be supportive and help her talk to her parents.

You need to do what is best for the baby, not your friend, as your friend's denial and fear and irresponsibility are endangering unborn child's health and life, baby needs pre-natal care now, too much time gone by already, do not waste one more second, call emergency medical services or the police or the fire department but you must get baby into hands of medical professionals ASAP with or without friend's knowledge or consent, you can't carry burden one moment longer, responsible adult must step in immediately, please make the call now

This problem is too big for you to handle on yor own, if she wont tell her mum then you tell yours!
Your mum will then be able to talk to her about a few different things, and if the baby is the boyfriends or somebody else's, your mother will then be able to decide if she talks to your friend's mum or somebody else.
Congratulations for being a kind and caring friend!

You need to have her talk to her parents and b/f. If not you might have to speak up for her. She is probably scared and an emotional wreck. But, she is pregnant and in 4-5 months she will give birth. She cannot hide that. She is probably afraid. I understand she came to you but she needs to come to reality and her deal with her situation. If it comes down to you talking to her mom or ex it is in her best interest, She needs support and realize that this is a reality. It isnt going to go away.
