Answers:
lol!.!.!.tell your mom and yeah text is a good idea!.!.!.there is no discussion really!.!.!.lol!.!.!.if she calls say you were listening to music and your phone was on vibrate!.!.!.!.lol!.!.!.!.when you text her say "txt me bk"!.!.!.and i think she will get the hint!.!.!.not to call!.!.!.lol
And as for Advice!.!.!.!.!.hhuuummmm!.!.!.!.!.lol!.!.!.!.
Deffiently take Advil (or some pain killer you have in the UK!.!.!.or where ever you are!.!.!.!.) every 5-8 hours (the time will be on the bottle) as cramps may get really bad, and when your mom gets home ask her about some PMS medication, as that will also stop cramps, bloating, and frustration!.!.!.!.
We all hate it, and i suggest using pads for now!.!.!.at least for a year or two!.!.!.
Good Luck, it sucks, but we all get it!.!.!.unfortuantly!

Congrats! (you will be hearing that alot!.!.!.trust me!.!.!.lol)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, your mom has been through it and knows it will happen to you too!. I was the same way and stayed in the bathroom for an hour before I told her!. She was excited about it which made me fell weird and I didn't like talking to her about stuff so I know how you feel!. Just tell her, Hey mom I got my period today and then go about your business!. If she tries talking about it tell her you don't want to discuss it and that you are fine!. In time the uneasiness will fade!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ok i went through that and im not that close to my step mom and i just told her and she said, ok and gave me some pads!.

you will feel SO much better after! it's really not that bigg of a deal just text her and if she wants to "talk about it" idk what shes gonna say because there isn't that much to it!.

1!. blood!.
2!.pad/tampon
3!.start over next month

mwah :) ans everything will be just fine honey! she and all other girls have gone through the same thing!.

and im not preaching!, i know how you feel, im only 14!. and i started like a year agoWww@Answer-Health@Com

Firstly, congrats! Welcome to womanhood!.

First of all you should get a pad!. You probably know that, but just in case you don't!. Do you know where your mom keeps them!?

I was excited to tell my mom so I just bounced down the stairs and blurted it out, but that's just me!. If I was nervous about it I think I'd wait until she got home; it's something too important to text!. I would tell her, I think she'd be hurt if you didn't!.

If you need to just explain that you got it, but you're shy and don't want to talk about it!. Then, when you're ready later, you can talk to her about it!.

As far as advice !.!.!. hmmm !.!.!. nothing has really changed except you're hitting puberty!. It's a tough stage to go through and just try to remember that you will never feel that awkward again!.

Good luck!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

aaaw don't be scared of your mum!! just talk to her normally and then when the conversation goes quiet for a bit just kind of say 'oh by the way i got my first period this morning' or whatever!. she's done it all before so she'll be cool about it!. just think of the questions you need to ask her about it before she gets home so that you don't have any awkward moments in the period conversation!. good luck!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to be open about your body, (well atleast this stage of it) with your mum!. I was at my grandmothers, and I was like to her, "yeah, we need to go buy some stuff" and so she took me, and I rang mum, and was like "Mum!. I just got my period!."
Yeah, she'll talk about it!. But she'll get over it!.

You've got pads, yeah!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well I wouldn't do it through a txt

I would wait till she gets home from work and tell her to her face!. She might break down and cry telling you "you are a women" blah blah

Until then look under the sink for pads or tampons, or use toilet paper

Its natural you shouldn't fill embarrassed, your mom had/had one too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe you should text your mom and tell her that you got it, and that you don't want her to make a big deal of it!. Tell her that if you have any questions you'll ask her but otherwise just ask her not to talk about it!. Don't worry so much! Slowly things might start to feel different in your body but its nothing to be worried about!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was nine when I started my period!. I was sooo embarassed to tell my mom!. I mean I knew what it was and all , but I knew I was kinda young for that!. In fact, I was playing outside when mine started!. Yeah, so what I did was write it on a chalkboard I had and then showed it to her with really red cheeks!. Hey, it can't be more embarrassing than that!. lol Just tell her and get it over with!. Since she birthed you she knew you were a girl and eventually would have a period!. She'll probably just want to help you out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ha i have no clue really i just no that it would be a very good idea to tell her! maby you could!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.text her and tell her then say im embarrassed and don't want to talk about it!.!.!.!. then if she calls don't answer it and text her say "mum im embarrassed and i really don't want to talk about it"Www@Answer-Health@Com

I never did tell my Mom when I started!. I started late though, like 16, and I think my Mom assumed I'd been getting it for a while, so I was well stocked as far as supplies, and I didn't feel like I needed to say anything!. If you want to tell her, definitely do, but don't feel like you have to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

haha I remeber that day, I was so embarassed, but its honestly not an embarrasing thing, after a yr you'll see its normal and it wont be a problem, however, your mom should know, I just hoped in the car from school and was like hey can we pick up some tampons!? she just looked at me and said sureee!.!.!.!.!. My suggestion is not to use a tampon until your second or third period!. Use the smallest size because when you first start using them they hurt when you take them out!. Otherwise they are a blessing from the sky! good luck sweety!!!!!! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

its your mother hello this is a big part of both of your lives you only get one mum so take this and get closer to her


your periods are going to be very light and all over the place for about a year but they will settle down


and now you can blame everything on pms


good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

well ive been on my period oncee!. so i kinda know what you mean, i would just text her and tell her, but ask her not to talk to you until she gets home, or not to make it a big deal, and not talk to you about it!. because i hate it when my mum mentions things like that to me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yo im a lad lol

But just tell her, she is your mum ( who guides you )
she is the best person to talk to, forget your mates she will always be their for advice, you should want to tell her, your not the only girl, its every girl that has them, good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

CONGRATS ! your officially a woman =D

Well I think you should tell your mom, she has the right to know !.!. just tell her mom, I got my period today!. Simple as that!. Of course she'll start to explain it, but to mothers when their daughters get their period they get all excited and gusshy, just let her have her fun [=Www@Answer-Health@Com

just tell her when you get home-dealing with it in person would probably be alot easier than on the phone just say like
"mom i just got my period, i kinda need help!? please dont give me a lecture though okay!?"
im 14, and got my first period around a year and a half ago (im almost 15) so i was really scared at first to use tampons!. and if you are don't be-becuase they make life so much easier!!
good luck with ur mom =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

haha, no matter what anyone says, they are lying when they call it "mother nature's monthly gift"
It's actually annoying!. Ver annoying!. Exciting at first (depending on how old you are)
When I first got it I was 11 an hated it, but ya!.
I just went up to my mom and was like "mom, I think I have my period" And she helped me out from there!. It's not too difficult!.
Enjoy the rest of your womanhood! :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

Congrates, you'll hate it soon enough lol, but tell her cause im shure she would want to know, if you have a sisiter ask her about it and always bring stuff to school! aha and never wear white, aha!.!. say that aunt rose visited you lol shell be like what and then shell be like ohhhhhhh congrates and tell her that its not that big of a deal and not to make it one!. and walk away lol!. goodluckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Id just tell her!.!.!. do it sooner rather than later else it'll just get more awkward!. Once yo'uve told her you never have to bring it up again do you!? Im self conscious too but all women have them so dont be embarrassed!. If you dont tell her and she finds out herself, which she will in the end, i think she will feel hurt that you couldnt talk to her about itWww@Answer-Health@Com

I find that the more I can talk to my mom about, the closer we get!. That's why my mom is one of my best friends!. it is truly is a good feeling if you can openly communicated with your mom and not feel embarrassed!. Trust me, i would just tell her you got your first period and she will help you go from there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well, when i got my first period it was in june!.!.i was at a hotel or something, but you can try to text her, tell her to wait to talk about it when you get home, it's pretty easy! it was embarrassing telling my mom about my period!.!.but it doesn't matter now!Www@Answer-Health@Com

welcome to womanhood i guess hahah!.!.

just tell her!.!.!. i mean i had to only because of my heritage!.

i'm native american and once a woman enters womanhood then she has a coming of age feast!.!. its not a celebration is just like holy type of prays for the maiden!.!.(girl) To make sure she has good life and etc etc!.!.!.much like a Quinsieta!.!.!.!. lol i don't think i spelled that right!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of course tell her! She needs to know so that she can tell you what you need to know - and trust me it is more than you learned in health class!. Also, this is a big threshold for a girl to cross!. This is the first step on the road to womanhood!.

Congrats by the way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Every woman in the WORLD has it! Just make sure you have some pads/tampons!. Call her and casually ask her to buy you some pads!. She'll be surprised and probrably take it more lightly, don't worry, she's your mom!Www@Answer-Health@Com

its going to be awkward but its definitely something you should tell her!.!.!. once you've told her!.!. talking about other things will be alot easier and you won't be so self conscious!.!. she might be disappointed if you dont tell her and she finds out!.!.!. dont worry so much about telling her because she knows she is bound to have you tell her sometime!.!.!. Good luck!.!. dont be nervous =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

oh!.!.!.that sucks!. When i started, i didnt tell my mom at all!. i regret not telling her because she seemed kind of hurt that i didnt tell her!. If i were you, i'd just walk up to her and say!. "Hey mom, i started my period!.!.!." Do it when no one else is home!. having ur dad there can be kind of embarassing!. :P Good Luck!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

the same exact thing happened to me two years ago, this month!. Just go up to her and tell her, you'll be happy to get it over with!. She'll probably just hug you and you'll feel better immediately!. I was nervous about telling my mom too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

when i got my first period the same thing happend!. just be happpy it didnt happen to you when you were at school in front of all your friends!. just go to you mom and tell!. its a natural thing and you have nothing to be embarrassed about!

LOL i remember i got mine on august 10th, 2004!. very early in the morning so my mom was at work, yuck what a mess! honestly trust me your mom WANTS to know!. i would wait until she got home!. when she comes home, call her into the washroom & tell her "mom i think i got my period" & she will help you out!. thats exactly how it worked or me, she came home, i told her, she ran a nice warm bath for me & put some ice-cream in for me =] good luck!
