No, not all girls do, though most do. Some get it HORRIBLE (like me), some get none at all, some get a little. It varies with every girl. You say you haven't had your period, so maybe I can give you a little info on it, maybe stuff that will help you once you get it and what to look out for.
Symptoms:
1. Cramps below your belly button, but not all the way down, similar to diarrhea cramps.
2. Mood swings, not necessarily going off on everyone, but possibly random depression, sadness or anger.
3. Cravings for comfort food more than usual (ice cream, chocolate, etc.).
4. Sometimes headaches like to tag along with these other symptoms, along with weakness in your thighs.
5. Your breasts will most likely hurt, or at least be sensitive at some point, same with pubic hair.
6. Random tiredness, fatigue or weakness is quite common too.
7. Bloatedness.
8. White/clear sticky discharge on your underwear.
Midol will help with most of these problems, along with warm baths, heating pads, hot water bottles, exercise, and gentle massages.
Menstrual cramps are believed to be caused by many things, but the sex ed teachers I've had said, and what I've always believed is that the cramps come due to the muscles contracting and twisting, trying to push the blood and lining out of your body. Ways to get rid of them are:
1. Midol (menstrual relief pill), take one or two, depending on how bad the cramping is.
2. Exercise usually helps, try sit-ups, or other exercises that work out your abdomen.
3. Warm baths (not hot because that will make your period heavier) may soothe the pain.
4. Heating pads or hot water bottles where it hurts will help soothe the pain as well.
There's many explanations for irregular periods.
Some may be:
1. Frequent large amounts of stress, or spontaneous small amounts as well.
2. Health; from as small as a cold to as big as a disease or STD.
3. Activity; if you're suddenly very active (whether it be in sports or just exercise) it will reflect on your period.
4. It depends on how far you are into your period. During the first few years, your period will be very irregular, but eventually it will steady out.
Stress relievers (pills), less physical activity, more experience with menstruation, and diagnosis for your illness will help your period return to normal.
Things I would take with you to school (or any public place) would be: Pads/liners/tampons (whichever you choose to use), maybe an extra pair of underwear, a Midol or two, and if possible, an extra pair of pants (if worst case scenario happens).
Hope I could be of some help, and/or extra help! Good luck. :)
Nope, not every girl! some get slight cramps, some super evil, and some not at all. They are usually before or during. i didn't have any at first but after a few months then i got cramps with my period
No some females are lucky and don't have any of that to deal with.
If you do get bad cramps or bad PMS there are good things to help you out like Midol or Pamprin. Heating pads are good as well. You can also go on birth control too.
Everyone is different. Some get bad cramps every month, some get cramps some months. Just depends. I didn't get cramps when I first started my period, but later on I got mild cramps. Don't worry too much about it. Hope this helps.
No. Some girls go through life never experiencing them, while others have them from the very beginning.
Then there are those that start out not having them and then have them later in life..that's me.
I guess you just have to go with the flow. You'll never know until you start yours I guess.
I think it's better to have them...they are actually miniture labor contractions...so if you ever plan on having kids one day..you kind of get the jist of what to expect.
Just take life as it comes sweetie.
Good luck.
i get really bad cramps that hurt like hell!! no joke i just go to bed it hurts so much.
No, I hardly cramp at all.
When I first started my period, I had major cramps, not all girls have cramps by the way, it was always before my period starts, so when I have cramps, I know my period would start soon.
my doctor told me you get cramps when you get mature
Well i'm guessing that your still young, i'm 14 and have had my period since i was 12, and in those few years i've never had a period cramp. I guess i'm really lucky because some people get them and some like me don't get cramps at all. Let's hope you're one of the lucky girls that doesn't get them:)
