The health risks associated with the pill are very rare and they'll be outlined in the leaflet that comes with your pills. I wouldn't worry about that if I were you though.
Also, no, your mum doesn't need to know about it, because of patient-confidentiality.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't think there is... just that you need to take it regularly and on time so you wouldnt get pregnant. It might cause nausea.
You can get it at any drug store or pharmacy.
Nope, your mom doesn't need to know about it.
