Hi Aianna,
I am sorry to hear that you and your mother do not have a good relationship.
Asking your grandmother, aunt or adult cousin to accompany you to the gynecologist appointment is a very good idea. Someone you feel close to can help with any normal anxiety you might have.
Since you are sexually active, I think scheduling an OB/GYN appointment is wise. It is a good opportunity to discuss birth control. It is the time to have a baseline pelvic exam.
