Question

Answer 1

I think you should tell her. She needs to know what's going on in your life. And God forbid something was to happen to you, how do you think she'll feel to learn about you having your period when you got to the hospital. I know sometimes parents can make us feel a little comfortable but they are just trying to let us know that they care. we might think that they're doing at the extreme, but they might think that they're not doing enough. you might wanna tell her now if you don't want more touchy feelie than the usual.

Answer 2

Tell your mom. Yeah, she'll do the touchy feely stuff for a moment but she has a very good reason: She is being forced to come to the realization that you are no longer a baby and you are growing into a young woman. Her relationship with you is expected to change and she will mourn that. So let her do the touchy feely stuff for a moment. It won't last too long. More importantly, she should know that your period is here for important health reasons. She is still responsible for making sure that nothing happens to you and you need to give her the chance to look out for your own best interests. Since you are new to this, how will you know that you have an infection? That you're clotting? That you're having an allergic reaction to your pad/tampon? Exactly. You won't. But she will. So let her do her job and tell her.

And as one daughter to another, I hate to be the one to tell you this but here goes: You have more touchy feely moments heading your way (first date, high school prom, graduation, college... the list goes on). Learn to appreciate them because they're not going to stop. Moms always see their daughters as their babies. That doesn't mean that she will treat you like one. And if you don't want to be babied then don't act like a child by hiding the fact that you have entered the early stages of womanhood. I promise you that if you play your cards right (and start by telling her this), your mom will become your BEST and MOST AMAZING FRIEND. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Answer 3

You should voice that concern to her (about the touchy feely stuff) before you even tell her about the period and let her know that you told her that because your about to tell her something you think she's going to get touchy feely about. That way she dosent get offended by your dis-taste in being touched or coddled). But dont deny her the honor (for some reason, to mothers its like a coming out party!!--lol). For Dads...... Thats when we say oh-ohhhh. :)

Answer 4

hey!!! YOUR MOM IS YOUR MOM!!! she is the woman that brought you into this world she loves you very much you should have a strong relationship with your mother always. I can understand not being the touchy feely kind of girl w/ ppl ur close to but its your mom shes a woman she knows everything that you are going through my daughters one and i think about this stuff all of the time, i want to have a relationship with my daughter where she can talk to me about anything-- periods, boys, fears, feelings, etc. so talk to ur mom its the right thing!

Answer 5

Ask her if she can pick you up some feminine hygiene products the next time she goes to the store. If she does start acting all "momish" just tell her "Mom, please dont do that. I started my period. Big deal. It happens to all girls." Don't be too harsh on her though. You dont want to make her feel too bad-she is your mom after all and she loves you more than anyone else in the world.

Answer 6

i seen a joke on here one day about the same thing you are asking about the girl started her period and hadn't told her mom , well she said someone told her to tell her mom she was pg! that would kinda get her attention on the subject, gotta have the period 1st ya know. anyway it might break the ice! we all were teens at one time or another i am 31 i 1st started my period at school and i was scared to death we had been doing splits in P.E. and i though i had done split myself somehow. i didn't tell my mom until she found a pair of panties with blood on them and well then we had to talk about it. besides who was gonna buy my pads for me? well i know how you feel my mom told my aunt that lived across the road from us and she gave me a darn book to read about it ALL. its a little embarrassing but we all get over it. have fun and good luck!!!

Answer 7

Just be honest .... just let her know your offically a women and you've had them a while and know about what it means and just straight out tell her you really don't feel like talking about it but if you have question you'll get back to her. Think about it she may also feel uncomtable talking about it.
On top of that remember this is a very natural thing and it's not the end of the world

Answer 8

Answer 9

i started in may of last year and my mother still doesnt kow but the best thing to do is do stuff like leave hints that its happened believe me she should be able to tell do things like stay in the bathroom for a while when shes home then call out her name right when your leaving out then when she answers say nevermind you already took care of it.

Answer 10

Bleh... Just tell her. Good lord, it happens to every girl. When I told my mom, she was like "Great. Pads are under the counter". LOL
