Go to a gynecologist-call and tell them your problem (hopefully you already have one). They should get you in right away. If you don't have an established ob-gyn, they will probably get you in right away anyway. They give you the pills and you most likely won't have to pick it up at a pharmacy. If you do not want your mom to know, pay for the pills and doctor visit in cash at the time of the appointment. Make sure you tell your doctor and the billing person that you want to keep it private. Then they won't go after your parent's insurance for the bill or send you anything in the mail (hopefully). Ask them how much when you call in. If you can't afford it, let them know and they may work out a deal with you. If you really can't afford it, go to a free clinic on planned parenthood. www.plannedparenthood.org
I believe you have 72 hours after sex to take the morning after pills.
Good luck!

You do not need your parents knowledge or consent in any state if you are under 18!
people seem to be just intentionally giving you the wrong answers here
this site has a lot of info
http://ec.princeton.edu/questions/index.html
but you have a maximum 72 hours from unprotected sex and 48 or 24 hours is better, so you are short on time
if you do not have a Planned Parenthood near you, try going here for help
1-866-877-PILL
It appears that you can now get it directly from a pharmacy, without a doctors prescription

Where to Get Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception (EC), also known as the "morning-after pill," is available at Planned Parenthood health centers. It is also available at college, public, and women's health centers; from private doctors; and in hospital emergency rooms — unless they are affiliated with religions that oppose the use of birth control.
Use our map to find the Planned Parenthood nearest you. Or call us toll-free at 1-800-230-PLAN (1-800-230-7526). Many Planned Parenthood health centers have weekend and evening hours. Please check with them for hours of operation.
In some states you may be able to request EC online. Planned Parenthood is one of the online providers in these states.

The morning after pill is just that. The morning after. If it is over 24 hours, your kinda screwed. You need to talk to your mother because they do not give them to minors without the parents consent. It is not available over the counter yet. You need to tell your mom now, so you can get the help you need. She can phone the Dr.s office and they can call the pill in to your pharmacy. Good luck

Your name is No surprises...sounds like your full of them...go to plan parenthood...but if your old enough to deal with something as serious as sex...you should be able to be responsible to get on BC...or deal with the consequences...if you can't tell your mom what your doing...don't you think it is wrong and against how you were raised...but I bet if you told your mom it wouldn't be easy but it may surprise you on how she reacts after she calms down...is your dad in the picture?

If you go to your gyno, she should be able to prescribe a prescription. I don't know if your age makes a difference or not. You only have 72 hours, so you better hurry!

Go to the emergency room or to your doc to get it or go to your local health department....it also depends on how long its been after you have had sex.....if its been over 72 hours you are screwed and will just have to wait and see if you get pregnant or not.

I don't believe you will be able to get with out a parents consent under 18.
Go tell your mom, the sooner the better.
