Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
write her a letter and leave it in a place were she will be the only one to find it. In the letter say sorry for not talking face to face as you didn't know how to say it. Hope this helps :)

The two answers below mine are both excellent answers. I'm only going to put my two cents in about talking to mom about girl stuff. I would do the same for guys with there dads about guy stuff. Yes guys have problems with their bodies too, when puberty hits and my advice is gender neutral; mostly.
There are probably certain things you will not want to discuss with you mom such as when you become sexually active and sexual positions. Other than those two my advice is to remember mom was once your age and has gone through everything you are going through.
If you have a question about your body and some of the changes that are occurring the best source of information is your mother. Is something that is happening suppose to happen, mom will know. Everyone is a little different, mom will know when something is normal or not; so don't hide things from her. When it comes to your period you can discuss the pros and cons of Tampon usage with her and the correct way to insert them.
Your going to experience growing pains, tell mom when you feel different things. She can help you feel more comfortable while this goes on. Your social activities will change as well. Boys are going to look at you differently, mom can help with this as well as she had to learn how to fend them off.
Teenagers today live in a very stressful world, more so then when your mother was a teenager and I before her; yes I'm that old. As a teenager you do not need the added stress of worry changes to your body when the resource for the answer is right in your own home.
If I can offer the following suggestion: Ask mom if the two of you could have a weekly girls night out of the house. It doesn't have to be much. Maybe a trip to the mall to window shop Stop for ice cream or a beverage where you can sit and talk privately about anything that may be on your mind. Nothing is off limits and mom agrees to try and answer them.

You just..tell her?
I know you're probably embarrassed.
I was when I got mine too. But I realized that in order to be able to handle it properly, I needed to tell my mother. So I told her the day I got it.
She's your mom, she won't make fun of you. She will help you. And educate you on how to properly care for yourself when that time of the month comes around. Actually, my mom was nearly in tears when I told her. She was happy her little girl was growing up.
Just tell her when she's alone. Or ask her if you can talk to her alone for a minute if you can't find a time when she is alone.
It's not something you need to bring up in casual conversation.
Just say, "Mom, I got my period. Can you tell me how to handle it?"
I wish you luck!
