Im pregnant&im only 17. how can i tell my mum? She’s just out of hospital for having panic attacks&depression?
i really need good advice on how i should tell her. thanks .
The damage is already done. Why you are having sex at 17, especially knowing the risk of pregnancy, is beyond me. You might as well sit her down and just flat out tell her.

Well, presuming you are keeping the baby you need to get independant FAST.
You need to find a home, find a job, establish yourself as a capable adult.
Then you can let your mum know that she doesn’t have to worry because it is not her problem – it is 100% yours.
If you can manage that, the baby might even make her happy – being a grandparent can bring a lot of joy.
If, however, you are expecting your mummy to hold you hand and look after you and your baby then there is no way to make it sound good because you are about to put her under a million times more stress.

Sorry to hear your mum is going through a tough time. I would suggest to you to be honest with her. I got pregnant at 17 and was so scared/stressed and overwhelmed that I ended up miscarrying. Try to remain calm and make sure and go to the doc and take care of your body. My mother did not take it so well, she was mostly mad she was becoming a grandma (I had been with baby’s dad a while and married him later on) and my dad, like your mom struggled with depression and ect. He was the one who took it "okay" after the initial shock of it he embraced the fact that he was going to be a grandad. Hang in there, you are pregnant now and the next step is dealing. Tell mum and take care of yourself. Hugs,

ahhh babe, what a difficult situation your in, i recenently had to tell me im only 20 and not with the father, i found writing my mum a letter helped me, a lot of ppl say dont write them a letter but my mums really hard to talk to so found its the easiest way, are you keeping the baby and are you in touch with the father? say to your mum your sorry and its not what you planned but its happened, so might surprise you my mum turned around and said i could live her with the baby and she’ll support me, tell her sooner rather that later she prob already knows somethings up x

My mum too suffers from panic attacks, anxiety and depression. I too had to tell her something (different from your situation but also serious) but was scared that I’d make her even more sick. But I did tell her and yes it was hard for her to begin with but later she told me that she was thankful I did tell her as she would be more upset if I kept the sercret.
You can’t hide the pregnacy forever and its better you tell her than she find out from some-one else.
She’s your mother and loves you no matter what.
All the best….
