Hi Gabby. I always suggest TALKING. Talking and communication is the most important thing in a relationship... especially one as important as mother v. daughter.You are in your most vulnerable time right now and I think it's very, very wrong to have hit you. But on the flip side, you have to understand that she is shocked, stressed out, and worried. In no way am I justifying her actions, but what I am trying to do is get you to understand that you both have your sides of the story. She has been handling the situation wrong, so talk to her about how you're feeling. If that fails, then you may want to figure out an alternative living situation. Either way, this is YOUR baby, your body, your everything. Make the right choice for you and your child, despite what others think, say, or do. Your mom may just need some time to cool off. Maybe stay with your fried for a while? My family and I constantly fought while I was pregnant. They never hit me, but we just yelled a lot. There was just so much stress and tension that it pulled us apart, but as soon as the baby was born... things started pulling themselves together.
Good luck and stay safe!
I would think out of every one that she would be the most understandable. NO ONE should hit a pregnant women and she shouldn't get away with it just because she is your mum. It is your choice if you want to keep your baby girl and I should mention a good one at that! I praise you for not getting an abortion! Where are you living atm? I would suggest moving in with a close friend atleast until things die down. I would also suggest getting togeather with your mum at a cafe or a public place ( she will not be as likely to hit you in a public place or make a big scene there) and talking about it explain to her why you want to keep your baby and that it is not her life!
