Period Dreams

 

Check these out, too...

  • Pad prob! How do I get them from my locker to the bathroom?
  • Have a happier period--yes, really!--with our playlist
  • Does it hurt when you first get your period?
  • I need longer pads! How do I tell Mom?
  • What stinks down south?
Ever since I got my period, I think about having kids when I get older. I even had a couple dreams about it!

“Getting your period signals a new era in a girl’s life. It’s normal for you to prepare yourself ‘psycologically’” say Jane V. MacCauley, family therapist and mental health educator. “These thoughts are part of a woman’s development.” Your mind is “projecting” into the future, which is common. Anything can trigger it. Ever had a crush on a boy and start imagining his last name with your first name? Same thing.
 
Just don’t confuse daydreaming with reality. You have many dreams to follow through on before you are ready for that one.

MOD!! I have had my period like 4 times and its kinda irregular. i get my period like 1 time a month but I can never tell when its gonna happen and I get it and it ruins my underwear and my mom is getting innoyede that I am ruining all of my undies. What can I do?!

 

Hey girl,
Sorry about the period stress.  In the first year after you get your period, it's totes normal to be a little irregular.  The best thing is to just be prepared - keep extra pads in your backpack, locker, and purse so you're always ready.  And tell you're mom that you're still just getting used to it!  It will start to feel like a natural part of your life in no time.  xoxo
