 Its a strange feeling for a mum when her daughter starts her period. You feel sympathy as you know what she's going through, you feel protective as she is closer to becoming a young woman, you feel you need to tell her everything about it and you also feel proud that your daughter has achieved this milestone.
It will pass in time, but dont be surprised if she asks if you got your period yet each time your due for the next year or so!!!
Next time she fusses dont get mad about it just say thanks for your help mum, I really appreciate it but Im ok now and can cope, and let her know that if you do need anything you will ask her (even if you have no intention of doing so!!) x

 Every girl starts thier period one time or another, i guess in her mind it shows your growing up, just make sure she knows your fine with it and dont want it to be made into a big deal and of course if you have any problems regarding your period then speak to her, afterall, she's been there and done that. I guess this is the sort of situation that after a while once she see's your comfortable with it it will be a normal thing, and let you get on with it on your own.

 Hey. it sounds like your mum is being slightly over-protective. If you are going to be happy you have to sit down and explain that you need your own space and to live your own life, make your own mistakes. It is greqat that youm know all about it. It probably might blow over, but you should tell your mum how you are feeling. With any luck she'll understand.
Good Luck!
