I don't know how the setup in England works, but in Canada, the doctor usually has a nurse working for him. What I suggest is that you phone the doctor's office when you have some privacy and ask to speak to her nurse. The receptionist may ask why but just say you have some private information to give related to your recent exam. Then just tell the nurse. The nurse may or may not ask you to come in again. It might not be necessary. The nurse will likely talk to the doctor about it, and you can go from there. If the nurse doesn't have an answer right away, indicate that you can call back in a few hours or next day for the response. That way your home phone won't be ringing. Don't be afraid to let them know that the reason you didn't say anything is because your mom was there. They will understand. If there is anything serious, I'm sure your mum will be more understanding than you think, but take the first step of phoning in private.

i think you should defiently go back to the doctor and tell him that you are sexually active i think its very important that they know these things....just tell him you didnt want your mother to know, they will understand and give you the whole "sex" talk.

You need to ensure everything is Ok.
If you're not using contraception, it's probably a good idea to start.
Good luck!
