Its up to you. I live a fair way away from my parents, and fortunately they were visiting the day after I found out, so I told them then. Otherwise it would have been by text or phone.

If you think that was best for you then thats the way you should have done it. You're 23, not a child anymore. She might be concerned, but Im, sure she'll come round.

Good luck honey I know its hard work

I think it is a personal decision whether or not to phone her as you know her better than we do, and everyone is different.
I personally told my mother face-to-face, I felt it was best since it's my first and I am still sorta young (I'm 1..
Anyways, congrats on telling them!

My mom, I plan on telling her face to face, she had my brother at 19, so for me being 22, she would be a hypocrite.

as for telling my OH about this, I actually texted him, got a reaction, then phoned him, then sat down with him. We've only been together for 2 months so I didnt know how he would react. Its just safer in my mind to do it that way.

so no cheryl, what you did is ok. it gives her time to cool down and then think about being a grandmother again, come to her senses that she is going to love it, then talk face to face about it.

im sure it will all work out for the best!

Thats good news I just remembered I told my OH by text actually coz he was at work when I tested. He works in a call centre and cant answer his mobile. I felt awful for doing it, but he was thankful I did!
