Mother at appointment

Helloooo!! I (20f) have my first gyno appt next week. For context: my periods are super heavy and painful and irregular and I’m currently on emzahh and I just can’t handle that medication anymore. Now, I asked my mom what gynecologist she goes to so that I can schedule an appointment with her. Unbeknownst to me, she went ahead and scheduled me an appointment next week. My mom is a very traditional middle eastern mother, and she scheduled my appointment with someone who’s from the same ethnic group as us (speaks same language etc.). The thing is… my mom also told me she will be coming with me to the appointment. I usually wouldn’t mind if it was a general physician checkup. however, I want to be honest with my gynecologist that I am sexually active, but I do not want my mother knowing this. I tried telling her I don’t want her to come but she insists that she wants to go to ask my doctor some questions for herself. I was wondering if they will even allow her in the room during the appointment (pls god I hope not). Otherwise I will be forced to lie to my gynecologist which I just don’t want to do. (P.s there is no alternative where I admit to my mother I am sexually active she will genuinely disown me.) submitted by /u/Apprehensive-Bug-423 [link] [comments]
