 I am with SB on this one. Confide in your Mum, woman to woman - at least she will know you are not putting yourself at risk and are trying to be adult about this.
All the best.

 Hiya thanks for giving us a follow up it's always nice when people respond to your advice.
So... you're not sure how to tell your mum. You don't need to tell her that you had to take the morning after pill. I think that's your business really. But I'm sure your mum will be happy to help you, all women know their children will grow up one day.
Also you should bear in mind that she's probably been thinking that she needs to be having this conversation with you soon.. And she's prob also wonderring how to approach you.. So if you bring it up with her then she may well be releived and ready for the conversation.
You should just say you've been thinking about going on the pill and you wondered if she had any advice for you. That way she'll be touched that you came to her for advice. I'm sure all mums on this website will agree with that.
Good luck from SB xx

 Take the pill unless you want to get pregnant.
Also just a note on the last poster, it doesn't necessarily end there and then for the guy. If the baby is his, he has to pay maintenance. But thats another story. Take the pill and hurry

If you don't want to risk getting pregant then you have to take the morning after pill.... You can get it from your local sexual health clinic for free (they will also give you free condoms!) You need to take it straight away, it won't work after 72 hours (3 days) and if you leave it until the third day I think it's only about 65% effective.
If you can't find your local clinic go to a pharmacist and there are some that will give it to for free and others that may charge.... I think it will cost around £30 max if you have to pay it. Your boyfriend should help you cover the cost and also come with you to get the pill...... Then he can see with his own eyes what you have to go through to protect yourself.
Having unprotected sex can be a quick thrill for the lad and it all ends there and then for them. But the girl has to worry about the after effects and if she gets pregnant or not. It doesn't end for you until you've either taken the pill and had your period to confirm you're not pregnant. So you should take him along with you so that he can see what you have to go through.
Also whilst your at it you need to look into get soem extra contreception like the combined pill or injection to protect yourself against pregancy. You and your byfriend need this extra protection there even if you do usually use condoms cause then you will always be protected even if the condom breaks or if you get carried away and don't use one at least you'll have that extra protection there.
The service is free (assuming you live in the UK) so it can't harm you to try it.
Good luck ok, xx

Yes, you should. If it is less than 72 hours since you had sex without protection, your pharmacist will be able to provide you with the morning after pill...
You should also think about regularly using condoms if you have any worries about sexually transmitted diseases, not just pregnancy
