I think only you can decide whether to tell your mum or not, you are likely to have a rough idea on how your Mum may react,...sometimes mums just 'know' these things, she may even bring the subject up with you if its a issue that she is concerned about.You are doing the right thing and seem a senseble person for taking the Pill,...but I also hope you are using protection to protect your self from std's too?

 well you dont have to tell her, but it will be better if you did. you could fall out with your mum if she finds out you didnt tell her and you never know it could a good move. but if you dont want her too know then leave it, its your responsiblity and you dont need the stress.good luck!!

 There isnt a rule that you should have to tell your mum that you are sleeping with someone unless you really want to. I hope that you are above the age of consent otherwise this could be a slightly more difficult. If you are serious with this guy then its up to you when taking the step to have sex. Unless you really want your mum to know she doesnt have to know. You are being responsible in that you are using the contraceptive pill, but remember that wont cover you against sexually transmitted diseases, so do be careful to this respect, im guessing that taking the step to sleep with your man means that you trust him and that to not use a condom means that you have talked about the pros and cons. If you feel that you need to tell your mum, then sit her down queitly and let her know... sometimes its nice for us girls to be open with our mums, and let her know that we have grown in to young women... Its entirely up to you, and it does depend on what you want her to say, is she the type of person that will upset if you do tell her such a thing ? It does depend on the individual, and if you think she needs to know. if you are that serious in the relationship, she is probly guessin that you are having sexual relations anyway... so take it easy and if you think it will help you then tell her, if not leave it until she asks you, as at some point she is bound to.
