Should I be on birth control?

Hi!
I have been dating my boyfriend for a while and we both are ready to have sex. I'm 16 and he's 17 and we have done oral before but not the full thing. It is going to be my first time (he's done it before) and I am a little nervous. We are definitely going to use condoms but should I be on the birth control pill too? I don't see us breaking up anytime soon so we would keep doing it and I want to feel protected.
The problem is that my mom wouldn't accept me having sex. I would have to go to the doctor and get it on my own. She can't find out. Also I've heard that the pill lowers your sex drive and might make you gain weight. Is that true?
Is it worth buying birth control or are we okay with just using condoms?
Thank you!!
