How can I talk to my mother about birth control?

DR. MARLIN:Most moms have incredibly mixed feelings about this. It means facing the fact that their daughter is doing grown-up things—like enjoying sex or thinking about enjoying sex. Moms may worry that asking questions means you’re going todosomething.

For a daughter, it means thinking about your mother as a sexual being, not just a source of information.

First, choose your time wisely. The night before she has a big presentation to give or the afternoon of your family’s holiday party are not good times. Make sure you have privacy and your mom's full attention. Try something like, "Mom, I want to talk to you about something, but I don't want you to panic or worry. Okay?" Wait until she nods her head or answers. Then say, “I want to have a discussion with you about birth control. This isn’t about me having sex. I just want to know the facts and thought you could help me learn how to be responsible and safe about my choices.” Hopefully, she will respect your mature attitude and match it.
