Well, I'm sure my comment will be TMI but oh well.
About the female doctor thing, I only started going at 21 because I was pregnant. Then I just kept up with it through my regular doctor, when I get my physicals. I only go to the gyn if I have a problem. I guess you're supposed to go from when you turn 18 and go once a year.
It is uncomfortable, but it's worth knowing you don't have cancer or other diseases, cysts or whatever. I'm not sure why your mom would be uncomfortable for a week..... It's usually just uncomfortable during and then after you're fine. It *is* weird when you first go. I'm sure you can look up what is going to go on so you know what to expect. Also tell them you've never been so they don't do anything to shock you lol.
