just tell her she might suprise you, i thought for sure i was going to get kicked out when i found out i was pregnant, im 14, but my mum and dad really came through for me and everything is good. they support my choice to keep her, now im having a beautiful baby girl! the point is, your mum may be really really mad but things could work out and in most cases parents don't kick out there pregnant teens !
good luck x

This is a fact, if you go to a shelter then they will contact your legal guardian, if you go to a doctor they will do the same thing.

I give up.
It sounds like you planned to have a baby but you didn't plan on being a parent for it too.

why the hell would you plan to have a baby with no home honey start at the local welfare or D.H.S office they can get you medical and food stamps or better yet look in the phonebook for local shelters and agency's to help but your mom will probably not kick you out just tell her you didnt know you were pregnant where is the father you need alot of help so i hope your mother supports you , you need to give her some credit but i dont know how it will work with you being a minor trust a family member to help you with your situation i am sure someone a dad grandparent someone can help good luck

 I'm a bit worried about your planning, if you hadn't taken into account the fact that you'd need pre-natal care. Time for a plan, isn't it?
Okay, start here: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/pregnancy-4250.htm
There's a search tool there, but I think your best bet is to call them and ask for help finding medical help. This is going to be very challenging if you don't have medical insurance. Are you quite sure you can't tell your mother? After all, she's going to figure it out in a few months anyway. Time to get practical! Where will you live? On what money?
I hope my link puts you in touch with people who can offer practical assistance. I also hope you find a way to tell your mother.
All the best.
