Mother is pregnant

My mother is about 39, I'm 20 and just told me she's pregnant. It's a huge shock that I am trying to absorb. Any input, suggestions? Until now I have been without any siblings. Though before I was 8 and moved to england, I sometimes hung around with one of my grandparent's children (an uncle) who was came along a lot later than my mum and her sister and so is only a couple years older than me.

I don't get to see them often though, my dad and stepmum live far.
:shocking:
I had you down as a girly. Maybe because Indrid reads like Ingrid.
Sorry.
Yeah, love your Mum and show her that you love her because her emotions will be running hot and cold now and she will be worried about your reaction. Esp. given the age difference.
When baby arrives try to help your Mum but doing things around the house as much as you can...
So did I...
Yeah I live with them, though I'm still trying to absorb it, figure out what things will be like, the future, what's going to happen, etc. My mum made an appropriate stab at the fact that I'd be old enough to babysit though ha.
I thought the same about you until a couple of months ago
But do try to be positive about it. My friend who is 16 found out her mum was pregnant told her she didnt care about the baby it was scum because it was half her stepdad and her mum went on to have to give birth to a still born near the end of her pregnancy. My friend was devistated, crying to me telling me that she didnt mean for the baby to die. Her mum did get pregnant again and has now has had a little boy who is two months old. She just stayed well away finding the whole situation a bit funny not telling many people at college etc. Now he is two months old she is much more comfortable around him, taking pics showing people things she would never do when he was born. Just takes time to adjust I guess
I get that quite a lot - I like having an ambiguous user name
That's sort of what I was thinking - is the problem not so much that your Mum's pregnant, but who she's having the baby with, and the circumstances around that?? Because I can see that that could be potentially confusing or there would be a lot of issues around that for you, OP.....
What do you think it is thats worrying you the most?
