Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
The best thing you can do is just be honest and tell her! More than likely she'll be excited for you, you're becoming a young woman now.

Come to her and tell her: ''I got my period.''

Your period is a natural function of the female body. It is not something to be embarrassed about. I'm sure your mother is waiting for you to tell her so she can help you properly care for yourself. The only reason she is not questioning you is she either waiting for you to come to her or waiting until she sees signs when doing the laundry.
I'm sure this is not something you want to announce to your brother(s)if you have any or your father all though I can assure you he knows all about women's periods. What I suggest you do is take mom aside tonight and just say; "Mom I think my period has started."
Mom will probably ask you some questions. Don't be embarrassed by them. She will be asking questions to confirm that in fact your period has started. Then she will do with you what her mother did for her and all mothers do for their daughters when this time comes. She will sit down with you and explain the proper way to care for yourself each month.
Questions you might want to ask mom if she does not cover the topic.
Can I miss a period even though I'm still a virgin? Missing a period can happen for a variety of reasons. Being pregnant is only one of them.
Can I go swimming during my period?
These are just two questions we get asked a lot that I believe you should have answered by your mom. This is the time to ask you mom all the questions you may have.
Just remember; your period is a normal bodily function of a women. There is nothing to be embarrassed about discussing this with your mom now that you have gotten your first period.

Just tell her, say "mom I think my period started" or something like that. Trust me, more likely than not she'll get excited and want to help you. She's your mom so you have nothing to be afraid of :)
