O/T:
I think I may be a horrible mother. My mother never took me to the gyno. I went myself when I was 18 for birth control pills. I never took my daughter to the gyno either though I did take her to many doctor appts as she was growing up. She is now 23 and obviously makes her own doctor appts now. But I'm feeling weird now that I never insisted she see the gyno though we've always been very open about talking about everything.
Don't feel like that! I didn't go to the GYN til I was nearly 18, and MANY of my friends had somewhat the same situation. They went when their parents believed they may be sexually active OR were heading off to college and the parents (moms) wanted them "protected" by B/C.
IIRC, KC having not gone to the GYN prior to the time she did was mainly due to the fact she specifically told CA, when B/C or sexual activity was brought up to her, that she was a virgin. I believe this played into CA believing KC was having "bloating" and other "female issues" related to a horrible menstrual cycle, rather than that she could possibly be pregnant.
