YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | GETTING STARTED

Freaked about getting it for the first time

 
I’m terrified about getting my period. I’ve heard that you can’t tell when you’re going to get it—it just comes and suddenly you realize you feel wet. Is that true? What can I do to avoid being surprised by it?

 

Hey chica, while you may not know exactly which day you’re period’s coming, there are definitely some warning signs that’ll prepare you for it.  PMS (premenstrual syndrome) is the process your body goes through before a period, so it’s a great way to tell if you’re almost ready.

 

Along with PMS comes cramps in your lower back, headaches, tender boobs, bloating and mood swings.  You also might be a little overly sensitive or emotional, but don’t worry, that’s perfectly normal.  Another major sign that your period’s coming is white vaginal discharge, which is a mucous-like substance that most girls start getting about six months before their first period.

 

Don’t let these PMS symptoms get you down though, because they give you some time to prep for your first period.  By putting pads in your locker and backpack, you’ll be prepared 24/7.  If you find yourself without any pads at school, dash to the nurse’s office where pads and other feminine products can surely be found. Just to be safe, keep a spare pair of underwear in your backpack or locker for those messy moments, and don’t wear white or light-colored pants if you feel it’s almost time. If you’re prepared, there will definitely be no surprises!

I was going to go out with my bff today, but i'm stuck at home, with a cold. I'm really bored and i think i've watched all the good shows on tv. All my friends are out shopping, so i cant call them over. Plus im really sick, and i think ive thrown up a total of 5 times since this morning. And my head hurts. I guess my questions are what can i do to pass the time and how do i stop throwing up (already took medecine, cant take anymore for a few hours)

 

Hey girl, try taking a nap, reading a book, chatting with friends, or surfing GL.com. I hope you feel better soon. xoxoxo

I'm on my period right now (tmi) and i feel really bad. My stomach hurts a lot, and so does everything else. Im not allowed to take medicine because my mom or dad isnt at home, so i dont know what to do. Also my period is really heavy, but it wasnt like this last time i had it. Help?

 

Hey girly, try a heating pad, a hot bath or shower, eating a banana or laying curled up on your side. Also, try giving mom or dad a call and explaining the situation, they might let you go ahead and take something or give you more ideas to stop the pain.

When i'm on my period (awkward) i feel like i'm wet 'down there' or i peed in my pants. ( is tyere any way to stop this feeling?) I also get these like 'clumps' mixed in with my period.( is that normal?) Also i just started my period this summer and school starting soon and im scared to change my pad there.

 

Hey! That's all perfectly normal, but it's always best to ask a doctor about any body questions.  I would recommend tampons. They can be difficult to start, but you don't feel them at all once you learn to use them and they help you stay dry too. good luck!
