How to talk to my Mom about birth control?

I was lucky enough to have a mother who was totally upfront with me about sex and birth control, unfortunately I wasn’t able to take it. It made me horribly sick. But, here’s some advice from someone who is a mother now. I’m 37 with 2 boys. Tell your mom, flat out, why you want it. But, tell her that you also haven’t had sex yet either. Yes, it can be for your periods too, but you should tell her that your main concern is NOT getting pregnant IF you decide to have sex. Tell her that being on the pill will NOT make you feel safer about having sex and make you want to do it sooner, you could have done it with a condom already. So, it’s not going to push things along with your boyfriend. Also, tell her he’s not the one pressuring you into getting it. (If that’s the truth. If he is the reason for asking…just flat out don’t do it. Use a condom. Don’t put yourself in that position so that he’s off the hook. He should hold responsibility too, and wearing a condom isn’t bad. Protect yourself first!!!) If you make her see that you’re responsible enough to trust her with your personal issues, she’ll always trust you too. It’s very important, because if something does happen and you end up pregnant or with an STD, your mother will be the one there for you…NOT your boyfriend. No matter what you think, everything changes with a guy when a baby comes along. Just show her how responsible and concerned you are about yourself and she’ll be there for you. Trust her, you never know what might happen. You guys could become closer than you ever imagined. Good luck, and make a smart decision, it will affect the rest of your life.
