You are at the door of starting your period!. Some girls get it as early as 10 and some don't start until later teens!. but usually it is is around your age!.
You could go to the store and buy a box of pads and carry one around with you in case you start and you are where you can not get a pad real quick!. Tampon use takes some getting used too!. I do not know if you have a mom or sister or someother female you can talk to about this!.
When you start you may have stomach cramps!. Some girls have them bad and some do not have them at all!. I never had a cramp in my entire menstrual life!. Lucky I guess or mind or matter!.
If you do get cramps, there is medicine you can take, Midol or Pamprin, it helps relieve the cramps or bloatiness you might feel!.
As far as what happens, your body is getting ready to become an adult woman to prepare you for motherhood!.
Since you are young and not going to be a mother, your body will "slough off" uneeded blood each month!. The blood is from the lining of the Uterus wall, that is where the baby would live if you were pregnant, then the blood would be the babies lifeline till it is born(you would not have a period for 9 months)!.
But since you dont need it, your body does not need it either, so it expells it about every 28-31 days!. That is why it is called a menstural CYCLE, it cycles around every month!. So you must be prepared and have your pads to wear!.
When you first get your period, it could be heavy, or not so heavy, each girl is different!. Some have a very heavy flow of blood and will need to change their pad several times a day!. Usually your flow will get lighter the end of your period!.
Some times you may even pass a slight blood clot, that is okay, it is kinda scary but can be normal!. If you have an usually heavy flow and pass clots alot, you should have your doctor check you out!.
Some girls get really moody around their period, like you hate everyone and everything that pass your site!. That is where the midol or pamprine will help!. Not all girls get that though!.
I am a firm believer in mind over matter!. If you think you are strong and it wont effect you, then it wont, you have to be strong mentally and physically!.
Your period should last about 5-7 days!. Again, some shorter some longer, you will know and get a feel how yours goes after a few cycles!.
When you are on your period, if you have sex you can get pregnant!.
When you are on your period you can bathe, wash your hair, go swimming, do anything you usually do!. In fact, it is the time to keep extra clean!. SOME girls have an odor when they are on their period, so it is important to keep clean and change pads often!.
I think I have about covered it all, hope it helped!. It is a wonderful time, dont be scared, it is just a step closer to becoming a woman! I have raised 3 daughters and they have all become mommies and they survived the beginning years just fine!Www@Answer-Health@Com

There really is nothing to be afraid of!. If I were you though I would carry some (at least 1 or 2 pads) with you at all times-just in case!. It's easier for a first timer to be ready with pads then trying to work with a tampon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Just get some sanitary napkins, keep them in your bedside table or in the bathroom!.
Its ok, its not crazy gushing or anything, but you do need to make sure you have some stuff available just in case!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't be scared!. Just tell your mom and she should tell you everything!. If that is not a option, tell another older female and they can tell you what you need to know!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't worry honey! I got mine when I was 14!. I remembered when I didn't have it, I remember that I just wanted it so badly!. But now that I'm 18 and I now have it, I really dislike it!. The cramps, the bleeding the headachs!.!.!. It's bad!. But a girl is never to get her period at a certin time!. It just comes!. If you reach 16 and you still haven't gotten your period, then you should see the dr!. Got sisters and a mom around!? Ask them when they started!. Sometimes the age of getting it runs in the family!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
