Answers:
Go and tell your mum-she'll understand, she's been through it too! It is not embarassing at all-its natural! Your mum will be expecting you to be telling her this at some point anyway!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your mum's a woman, and has periods too!. She's had them much much longer than you have, she's a vital source of support and information for you- dont be embarrassed just say "i got my period today!" or just add pads or tampons onto the shopping list, she'll get the message!.

If not then take it as your own responsibility and deal with your periods without telling her, she's likely to realise at some point whether you tell her or not!.

Every woman in the world gets periods, it's not awkward or embarrassing, it's a fact of life! You're gonna be going through this for 40 years!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell your mom! It's not like she is going to laugh at you, she's been through the same thing as you!. Besides, your going to need supplies, and she can help you pick out what you want!.

Just take a deep breath and say!.!.!."Mom, I just had my period!.!.!. what should I use!?" There are so many girls that go through this, your mom is there to help you!. Always know that!.

Goodluck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Lots of stuff your mom can tell you about it and it won't be embarrassing!.!. I know I had this talk with my mom 32 years ago when I was 13!.!.!.xxxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah it can be embarrassing, but your mom went through the same thing!. It is a new thing now but eventually it will be no big deal for you!. Just tell her straight forward, expect a mixed reaction, she will be excited for you but also realize that her little girl is growing up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
