It sounds like a normal check-up. Next time ask the doc. or nurse to explain what they will be doing to you, so you won't be surprised. If, you don't want your mom in the room with you ask her to leave, the nurse can be in the room with you when you get your next check-up.

Well, except that you should have had your pants and paties off before sitting down, it sounds like a typical GYNO visit. Uncomfortable, but normal. I hate going. By the way, how old are you? 16 is a typical age for a 1st GYNO visit, but I am surprised your mom didn't warn you what would happen.

If you are having a pelvic and pap smear, bending your knees up MUST be done to get to your vaginal area better. The doc goes through this area to get to the other parts. The rest is just part of a routine examination---welcome to being a woman!

The dr. is listening to your bowel sounds. The dr. can determine different health problems by listening to your stomach, chest, and back. The reason for the dr. checking your private area is just to do a general physical to ensure that you are not injured or abused. Hope this helps.

They are checking to see if you are developing properly. Don't worry, most women have hair down there (there are exceptions...)... it's a natural thing. The tummy check with the stethescope is to see if your bowles are working properly, making the sounds they should. Don't worry, the dr. is doing everything right!

You'll get used to it evenually. Remember the doctor does this all the time. It's not a big deal for him or your mom. Try to relax.

If your mom is there then they are not doing anything wrong. Having pubic hair means you are growing up. Everyone get sit.
They are just checking to see if you are healthy.

Perfectly normal, if you are 6 months old, and your doctor is a pediatrician.
