Its totally normal!. When you are still the flow is less than when you are up and moving around!. Leaking onto your bedsheets is also really common and nothing to worry about!. You may want to get mum to buy you the overnight pads as they are especially designed to be used at night and are shaped a bit different and are more absorbent too!.
The heavy part of a period often lasts for around 3 days so hang in there it will be lighter soon!. Periods often last around 5-7 days with the last day or two pretty light so some girls even switch to panty liners for those days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Periods usually last about 7 days!. It's hard when you first start your period because the flow is usually heavy!. The first 3-4 days of your period will be the heaviest flow!.
YOu're probably using pads (I did to start) and of course when you stand up it's going to gush out!. It's been held in with you sitting!.
Go to the bathroom often as you can and change to avoid any leakage!. Try using heavy absorbancy pads!. You may have to use a towel or something to sleep on until your flow lightens in a few days!.
It's never easy getting started, but eventually you'll get the hang of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

dont worry this is normal especially because you just started!.
everyone is different when it comes to how long it will last!. i have the evil curse of having it all 7 days but some people have it for only 3-5 days!.
what you can do is get a thicker pad for when you sleep and or what some people do is wear a tampon and a pad for extra protection
dont worry it gets better as it goes along you just have to get use to it
just remember if it is really heavy you might want to change every 1hr Www@Answer-Health@Com

I got my period for the first time when I was twelve or eleven, and now I'm 14!.
What's happening is you're not normal or "regular" yet!. It could be a few more months, or even a year, before you are!. It's totally normal!.
It should last about 5 - 7 days, but it all really depends!. Some people have periods as short as three days, and others as long as ten days!.
My advice to you; Make sure that your pads or tampons are "heavy" not "light"!.
& If you really wanted to, you could wear a tampon in the shower so you don't have to worry about it leaking when your trying to bathe!.!. Haha
& Maybe use tampons more often then pads, but be careful and change them every 4 to 8 hours!.
What I do at school is wear both a tampon and a pad so if my tampon decides to leak on me, there's a pad to back it up!.
Good luck!! :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

mine's like that!. when you walk, more blood is flowing throughout your body and that's why there's more when you walk!. and when im in the shower, mine drips a lot like that too!. at night, i put an old towel on my bed so i don't stain my sheets, and i wear old underwear and sweatpants that i don't mind getting stained up (but you can wash them and blood usually comes out pretty well)!. mine last anywhere from 7 to 16 days!.!.!.which isn't normal at all and i need to see a doctor (lol) so if yours are as long as mine, see a doctor!. good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

If it's for the 3rd time then it still might not have a regular pattern!. periods usually last 5 days but anything between 2-7 days is normal!. for now use any kind of protection you can find! the heavy flow may require a high absorbency pad or if you want you con try a tampon!. You'll be fine there's nothing wrong with you at all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
since, you are still new to having periods, you're body hasn't found a particular flow, or cycle, so it could just be temporary, but if it keeps happening, then maybe you just have a heavy cycle, the make pads and tampons for heavy cycle flow, but you would still need to change pads/tampons more oftenWww@Answer-Health@Com

it should last 7 days at the very LONGEST
and there is no reason for you to feel uncomfortable!.!.!.!.
