I don't know what to do! I can't tell my mom about my period?!?!
Question: I just can't bring myself to do it! I find it embaressing to talk about any of that stuff. Me and my mom are really close but I stille can't. My stumach hurt and I was PMSing all week and being mean to my parents, and I want to say "My stumach hurt and I was being mean because I got my period, so I need pads". But everytime I approach my mom my heart just stops and I get so nervous. Please help me. I wish I didn't have to do this but I can't keep avoiding it. I already went through about three periods without telling her and I've had enouph. I want to do it tonight. I really don't know how, please help me feel more confident about it? Thanks

Don't worry about it - once you have told her you will feel so much better and relieved. Your mum will understand, she's been there too - it's just a normal fact of life. Just be brave, you can do it! The thought of it is worse, and the more you build it up in your head as a scary thing the worse it will get - go on, do it now!
Just tell your mom. She will be glad that her little girl is turning into a woman.
It's natural. Your mom went through it too. Just mention, and she'll be glad you told her.
Your mom will understand and she knows exactly what you are going through with your periods. Just tell her quickly and explain things like you did here and you will be fine. There is nothing to be embarrassed about because your mom when through the same thing.
Brittany You Have to this could be a serious thing.
It shouldnt be Embaressing, you have a mother that cares Trust me! Good Luck
Just blurt it out and get it over with. You are agonizing yourself to death for no reason. This is a normal body function you are trying to hide, and your mother is proably wondering if somethign is wrong because you DON'T have your period.
I'm not a female, but trust me your mother will be excited. She won't be angry or mad at you. It's just a part of growing up, she knows its bound to happen sooner or later. I think she would rather have you tell her than you telling strangers on the internet TBH.
Firstly, you need her to buy her pads. Do you want blood to soak through your clothes? She'd notice if there was blood on your pants or underwear when she washed them so I'm sure she already realizes you're having your period. Also, if you're using HER pads or tampons she'll notice they're missing.
You need her, if not for emotional support or to welcome you into womanhood, than for her to buy you some sanitary napkins and to wash your bloody clothes.
i just let my mom find out.. but she got pissed at me for not telling her though
maybe when you turn 21 theyll eventually put together the peices
Please pick up the courage to speak to her, she will be able to help you remember she was once were you are at now.
Let her know by writing it on a sheet of paper...if it bothers you to tell her to her face, try going around the problem and address her through the sheet of paper and explain why you can;t tell her to her face. hope it helps
I was embarrased too, but it's better when they know. But if ever she is out then call her on her cell and say "I started my period" I promise she will be glad you told her.
You should just tell her. She has been through this herself with all the pain and fact of facing her mother and I'm sure she will be very proud and happy to hear that you got it! Good Luck sweetie!
If ur as close to ur mom as u say...than talking to her about this shouldn't be a problem. Mother's are not dumb...chances are, if she's the one doing ur laundry she already knows.
Now.......go talk to her!!!!
just tell her!!!! ur mom went thru this 2 u no!!! its not like she is going to laugh or be mean or rude or any thing!!!
You poor thing. I cried when I got mine. I was 10, and I actually got it at school and went to the school nurse.
Then I cried again when I got it and my mom was like "Well that explains why you were being so mean!"
Hehe. You could just write her a little note and leave it where you know she'll find it - a desk, on her pillow, etc.
Or you could just do what I did and start crying when you see her and speak in "only-mommy-knows-what-i'm-saying" language between sobs.
Good luck! :)
omg phew! i thought i was the only one who went through that!!! you are not alone!!
when i first got my period my mom sensed it and was like "did you get your period?" (very casually) - this upset me and i denied having it! i didnt know why.. but i was embarased and didn't feel like it was something that you just talk about so out in the open.
finally after like 5 months (5 periods) i went to my mom and im just like "i got my period" - she thought it was for the first time, and i'm okay with that. she doesnt have to know that i got it 5 times beforehand. i just said it straight out.
i think that when you're ready you'll be able to say it too. but the fact that you're asking this Q means that you're ready to discuss it and you just need that little push.
so..
*push*
Trust me..I am a mom and it is just as hard for us as it is for you...blurt it and get it over with. What is the worst thats going to happen? My mom cried that her little girl was growing up and I wanted to melt into the floor but I lived and so did she and now I have a little girl and she'll tell me one day and thus the process will start all over again. IT WILL BE OK!!!
All i have to say, is just do it! my mom and i were the best of friends and i felt really uncomfortable doing the same thing. once you do it, trust me your mom will make you feel like you should have done it a long time ago!
you can tell your mom,she has been through it too.If you don't tell her she'll still find out and then you will feel uncomfortable to talk to her .having your period is natural
You have a hang up that sounds like it's not based on reason.
You and your mom are close. She should also, be your best friend and confidant. You will feel so good after telling her. I'm sure she'll be very understanding, it's not like you've done anything wrong.
Believe me, there will be issues coming as you grow older that you'll need to have a good relationship with mom to discuss.
I know its strange coming from a guy to answer this question but remember that your parents use to be the same age as you and went thru almost the same things and had very similar feelings as you.
First, remember your mother has or at least had periods before so she knows both the embarassment and what's going on. If you really just can't tell her, write it down. She probably suspects anyway...doesn't she see the garbage? It'll make her feel good that you trust her. Honestly, every woman has them...it'll be okay.
OH my gosh, my heart goes out to you! I'm surprised that there are any kids left nowadays who are so shy! It's nice to hear in a way.
Just take three deep breaths and tell your Mom.... she will understand. Nothing to be embarrassed about, every woman on the face of the planet that ever lived went thru the same thing, we understand.
(((((((hugs)))))))))))
All women go through it so your mom will understand. You just need to take a deep breath and tell her. I know I'm a guy but I have three sisters so I do have an idea about whats happening. I hope that helps.
I had the same problem when I got mine. I just told my older sister. I was even nervous telling her. Then she told my mom and it was embarassing, akward and uncomfortable for me, but u should just tell her. If u have an older sister, maybe u could tell her. Good luck!
just say look mom ive been keeping this from you and i cant any more the reason ive been so moody this past week is i got my period my stomach hurts really bad and i need some pads and pappren, im sorry for the way i treated you and im sorry i kept this from you i was just really scard to tell you
shes your mom she will understand and still love you no matter what
Just tell her,shes a woman as well,maybe went through the same thing as urs.Dont be scared,if u dont want to tell her straight u got ur period,just tell her u saw some blood down there,and then she will get the meaning and im sure shes gonna be happy.Some ppl they just make a party out of it,cuz they r hitting puberty and they become a woman.lol
Write her a note and leave it somewhere where she can find it. Just say...
.Mom I didn't want a big deal made out of this but I started my period can you please buy me some pads and leave them in my room....Thanks I love you.. Don't worry I already know about everything they taught us in school and I was a good listener....
Love your daughter
I was just like you when I first got my period, except for instead of waiting three months, I only waited two. I couldn't tell my mom in person, I was extremely embarrased and shy, so what I did was to write her a note, I approached her (she was in the kitchen), I got close to her, put the note on the counter and slid it towards her, and left. Later that day, she was really cute about it and told me that if I wanted to talk about it I could, if I didn't she was not going to force me, and then she told me she had put a brand new package of pads in the bathroom for me. She bought me pads like that for about six months because I started asking instead of waiting for her to get them :o)
First of all, think about how you came into this world.... that's right. You came out of your mother's vagina. Your mother changed your diapers for several years of your life. It's safe to assume that she has seen your vagina. It's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Also, your mother probably already knows. Unless you are hiding all the tampons, pads, wrappers, etc? Taking out all your own trash and sneaking around? Dude. She already knows. She's just waiting for you to confide in her.
