Answers:
they will probably want to notify your parents if they don't know already!. i'm sure you will feel 100% comfortable because in this situation all they'd like to do is make sure you are okay!. they'd probably ask if you need a guidance counselor or anything like that!. but i wouldn't worry too much!. usually they won't even ask, unless it's a check-up or you have to fill out a recent patient chart or such!. if they don't ask, and you feel like you do need any post-counseling, don't hesitate to tell them!. doctors are confidential but in situations like these, they will notify your parents!.

do tell your mother the truth as to why you waited a while before telling her!. everyone deals with these things differently!.

you'll be fine :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am sorry to hear about your experience!. Most probably, the doctor would start out by taking a comprehensive history (with details about your experience)!. This would be followed by a physical examination including a vaginal examination!. The doctor might suggest some lab tests to be done (pregnancy test, STDs) and counselling!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
