Was your mother there at your first appointment?

How many of us girls had there mother with you when you had your 1st appointment at the gyn .

my mother didn't know i was seeing a gyn and still don't now .

and guys i bet the thought of this for you is ???

id love to know cos I'm not shy at all and the thought of mother being in the room is MMM a bit nervy for me .

Mine went with me, and remained in the waiting area.

My mother didn't even know I was going to the gynecologist, because I didn't know. I went to my pediatrician. She took me across the building to her doctor, and he turned out to be a gynecologist. After that my mother did help me get ready for my exams, but stayed home when I went.

I was going alone

My mum took me for my gyno's until I left school (16) but that I think was because of complications

My first time was alone. A friend talked me into getting birth control pills just in case. I just got out of school and moved in with a friend to be close to my job. I was still just 17. I had no idea what to expect. It was one of my worst exams. He kept telling me to spread my legs because I just couldn't keep them open. I eventually started using female doctors because of it. My husband told me to switch, back when we were still dating. He didn't like male doctors for me either. So I hadn't seen a male doctor for over 25 years till recently.

Hello,

My mom toom me for my 1th gyn exam to the doctor and was present the whole time.

Although she was tehre for my comfort it also was very embarasing her being present.

I went alone

Mine came in at first while he interviewed me. Then when the moment arrived, he asked whether "mum was staying" and I said no. I didn't need her watching proceedings! I think she was quite relieved actually.

I have always gone alone

I didn't want anyone to go with me my first appt. I was soo nervous and it was bad enough I didn't want to show my "privates" to the doctor! 😁

My college roommate talked me into getting birth control pills when we first got to college. That was the first time I went. Had some bad experiences some years later, so havent been back in many many years.

My mother accompanied me my first time...that was the only time

My 1st gyn experience i was 16 and yeah my mom was there initially but then again so were 2 cops. My 1st gyn experience was at an er after i had been raped on the job site. I think the doc got tired of hearing " How could you let such a thing happen to you?" and ushered the nurse in and my mom and the cops out. It may not be a sexy story but it's the truth.

My mom took me to my first gyn exam, I was 15. But she stayed in the waiting room, as I didn't want her to come into the exam room during my exam. It was embarrassing enough with out having her there too.

My mom took me to my first Gyn. appointment when I was 15. She did her dead level best to join me in the exam room but the doctor (bless his heart) invited her, in no uncertain terms, to stay in the waiting room. The next year I was able to drive myself and did so, gladly.

Mom even offered to come with me to the hospital for the birth of my daugher (25 years ago to this very day). I couldn't imagine any other way to make the birth experience more miserable than to have my mother there, so I diplomatically declined. I offered to accompany my daughter to her first Gyn. appointment, which she had made, but she declined as well. We did plan for me to be there when the grandson was born 2 years ago, but he actually arrived in the back of the ambulance parked on the side of the road! Ah well, maybe next time!

Play On!

My mom wasn't with me at my first exam, because she didn't know... anyway, I think she wouldn't want to.

I didn't go with my daughter, as I thought it was HER moment, and althought I knew what was going on and even helped her in choosing the doctor, I wanted to give her some privacy.

Something interesting happened: when she was about 14, I asked her if she wanted to choose a doctor between some friends of mine; she said: Mom, I don't need one, I've got you....then, about 2 years later, she asked me to make an appointment for her at my friend's office....that time I knew she was going to have sex....lol

Hi y'all,

well my mom was nowhere near, when i got my first gyno exam, seeing as how it was when i was over 18 and in the military already.

went to the clinic when we got word that a doc was available. a bunch of female soldiers were waiting in line and we all got to go in and get examined or treated for whatever.

can't say it was traumatic. pretty quick too, i think. didn't feel the need to have my mom there, holding my hand.

seems to be a bit different than the general stories here 😃

hope i covered it all.

My mom came with me, but stayed in waiting room

My mom went with me but stayed in the waiting room.

I didn't figure I'd be so much in the minority here on this one... My mom has accompanied me to every exam I've had. To this day she still comes and is present in the exam room with me.

I have only ever had a friend come with me.

My mom didnt go with me to my first exam but i did have a close friend that came with me

I have a close relation with my mom and feel comfortable in her presence .she assisted me on my first exam

Nope. My husband was.

I was 11. My mom obviously drove me there, but thankfully stayed in the waiting room. Those first few years were absolute torture.

If you're wondering why I was at the gynecologist at 11, it's because during my menstrual cycle, I would bleed for 21 days straight. It was miserable.

However, now at age 20, I'm happy and healthy and normal.

No...I was 15 and made the boy I was dating at the time take me to the county health department

No, my mother wasn't with me when I had my first exam.

I went solo, no Mommy.

My mother was there (I was only about 12), and I was much more embarrassed by her presence than I was by the doctor who was a neighbor.
