Help.Girls only!on periods?!


Question: Help.Girls only!on periods?
ok, i am 12 years old and i think i had my first period. how will i know?

Answers:

You mark the day you think you got your period on a calander, then wait until next month and see if comes around the day you thought you got it. Also, try talking to your mom or another adult you feel comfortable with. They will probably explain things that you have questions about. Hoped I helped!! :3

I'm 14 and went through the same thing when I was 12. Lol



Hi (:
If you've had you first period it will be a reddy black colour in your underwear.

Let's start with the basics; each month your body prepares as if you were going to have a child by thickening the walls of the womb. When the egg isn't fertilised (i.e you don't get pregnant) your body wants to get rid of the tissues which made the wombs walls thicker and this is the blood that comes out during your period.

When your on your period it can look like your losing a lot of blood but really it's only around 3 tablespoons.

First off, you need to tell your mum (or dad) that you've started your period so they can go out and get you some pads. Pads (posh name; sanitary towel) are just absorbant pads which stick in your underwear during your period. You get different ones depending on how heavy you are; how much blood you lose, some lose a little more some a little less. You can get pads with wings which wrap around your underwear to keep it secured. A pad will need to be changed about every 4 hours and when your asleep you can buy 'night pads' which are longer so they're more absorbant for the whole night. Keep one with you at school so you can change it at lunch.

During you period you might get some cramps. These are just belly pains which you may get during you period, they're a bit more painful than a normal stomach ache but don't panic. Not everyone gets them and you won't get them all the time. Taking a paracetamol or ibuprofen or a painkiller designed for period pain like Feminax will get rid of the pain.

Your period will come once a month. At the start of your period it will be irregular, which means it will come at different times each month (e.g. starting on the 4th of one month and then on the 17th the next) so you might want to keep a pad in your school bag just to be on the safe side. After about a year it'll sort it self out and come around the same time each month. Your period will last 4-7 days, sometimes 8 and your period will be heaviest during the middle.

Don't be worried about it, it's completely natural and every girl is going through exactly the same thing as you. I hope I helped you and remember to talk to someone if your worried about it :) xxxx

Well if you have red or brown or even black discharge in your underwear, it's probably your period. If you have bloating, headaches, cramps, or anything else, you can take some Tylenol or something if you need. Ask your mom or something first. If you are too embarrassed, you can ask a friend or something for some pads & tampons. Friends are good for that kind of thing. Good luck :)



Okay. I'll put it simply for you.

1] Red Or Brown stain in the FRONT (not back - that would be a poop stain) of your panties.
2] You sure know very little for a 12 year old!
3] Ask your mom.
4] I can't read your mind, nor am i physic so i don't know if it's your period.
5] Google "what is first peirod like".
6] Read it.
7] Learn.
8] Smile.

HOpe this helps x
