I have a friend who has already had two children (One when she was 13 and another when she was 15). She is 18 now, but is a grade behind so she won't be out of college until she is 19 almost 20. The baby's daddy doesn't know she's pregnant and she doesn't plan on telling him because he cheated on her and he's moving in a few months. She told me she's several weeks pregnant (I'm not sure exactly how many), and she's scared to tell her mom because she thinks her mom will blow up on her for being pregnant a third time.

Both of her sons are adopted, but she doesn't know if she can go through the same pain again. She doesn't know how to tell her mom that she is pregnant once again. I know how pregnancies work (because I've experienced my mother being pregnant and another friend being pregnant), and I know that being a teen mom is one of the hardest thing a teenager can do. I know to support her and be there for her, but I feel really bad for her and I want to help her get ready to tell her mom.

She's really upset and disappointed in herself for becoming pregnant a third time. She's taking it hard, and doesn't know what to do. She said that she was planning on getting a place of her own, because she has a job that's enough to support just herself. But now with a baby, she knows that day will have to wait.

So, any advice on how to cheer her up and prepare her to tell her mom, and maybe convince her to tell her boyfriend so she can get child support to help her with the baby?
