She must have been terrified. She was very young. To be pregnant out of wedlock in first century Jerusalem was punishable by death from stoning. But God doesn't make mistakes. He knew Mary would be strong and be able to deal with the role He had chosen for her.

AnswerNo, the only thing that we know for sure is that she was puzzled, even though very young, she obviously knew how babies came about and she also knew that she was a virgin and not capable of having a baby because of that, so her only question to the angel was "How shall this be done, because I know not man?" (Douay-Rheims translation, St. Luke 1:34). When the angel explains, then Our Blessed Lady immediately, without any hesitation or fear says: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word." (St. Luke 1:38)
