Ugh, yes, when I told my mom, she freaked and told everyone. It sucked.
Maybe sit her down and make her promise she won't make a big deal about it and tell her that you don't want her to embarrass you with the secret you're going to tell her, because you seriously don't think it's a huge deal and think that she shouldn't either. And then maybe tell her?

I tottaly know how you feel. I never told my mom either. but one day I was having really bad cramps and I didnt know what it was so I told my mom and she took me to the doctor. then they did a urine test and found blood in my urine, the doctor asked me if I had started my period yet and I told him yes, and that is how I ended up telling my mom. My cramps were just menstrual cramps. So the advise I can give you is sit your mom down, and tell her you started. Then ask her if she could please keep it a private matter as you are easily embarrised. Honestly she will probably still tell her friends, so just ignore it and soon enough (like in a month) they will all forget about it.

lol as it turns out moms take this thing very seriously and tell everyone they kno afterwards. On the first day of my period i felt sick when i had it and too tired to care so i just told her. Of course she told everyone else but still...at least shes not telling it on public news or anything. Just tell her...she could give you some advice on it like how to conrol PMS. The drama should end in a few days so just relax and tell her. Its not that bad....
GOOD LUCK!

Honey, don't worry about your Mum. Don't forget, she's been through the exact same thing before. If you don't wanna just out with "Mum, got my period". Say, "Mum, would it be ok if you bought me some tampons".
Let her know that you feel embarassed about it. I think you will be surprised at how understanding she is and I am sure that if you let her know you are not comfortable with her discussing it with her friends then she wont - at least not when you are around, lol.
Don't worry. It won't be long before you are completely over it and it's just another fact of life.

Please find a time to share this with her. Try to plan for it during a time when you're most comfortable and when neither of you will have any distractions. I think, given your concerns, that you should preface it by requesting she honor your privacy with it and not share it with anyone else. It's important for your mom to know and for you to have her aware so that if you have questions or concerns or if you need "supplies", she can help you. It's also one of those things that can actually create a bond for you and your mom and I sincerely think you'll feel relieved once you've shared this with her. Take care sweetie.

Well some day you are going to have to tell her, and at the same time, just ask her to keep it private. You should let your mom know so you do not have to spend your money on feminine necessities, let her spend the money.

Why would she tell everyone, and if she did who cares, everyone gets a period it is not as big of a deal as you think it is. Just tell her, she is your mom!!! Also if she respects your privacy just ask her not to tell anyone.

Uhm. I'm pretty sure she meant she has had her period SIX DIFFERENT TIMES, not that she has been bleeding for six straight months. Sheesh.
Anyway, I suppose just tell her and ask her not to tell anyone else?
