The First Menstruation

By mkswimmer October 15, 2020 35 answers Last updated October 15, 2020

Hello! I am 13 years old and it came to me this morning. I had abdominal pain and was constantly spinning. My mother slept in the same room and woke up. I went to the bathroom and saw that my underwear was stained with blood. I put on some toilet paper and lay down. Mom asked me if my stomach hurt and I said yes. She said she might come to me. I didn't say anything. In the morning I washed and put on a bandage. She had already gone to work. My question is how to say. I've asked her before and she's answered my questions, but I can't I say. I'm pretty shy and ... tell me how you told your mother to gather courage and yes? I say. And one more question. What bandage should I use? For a heavy current or ...?

   Tell me? just that you need money for sanitary napkins. Point. Your mother also has a period every month, a big job, which means you are a healthy young lady. It is an honor for you not to write a "cycle" (the period from the first day of one menstruation to the first of the next), but MENSTRUATION, which is correct. Learn to mark the days of your period on a calendar. The cycle lasts for most women an average of 28 days - from 23 to 33 days is normal, delays of 14 days as well. In the beginning, your menstruation will be irregular. What bandages to use, you have to choose for yourself. The more droplets there are on the package, the more liquid they collect. In general, you will need bandages with 4 and 3 drops and maybe ones with 2 drops for the last days of menstruation. I recommend the Oluis brand. Do not worry, if you also see any tissue (colloquially "clots"). During menstruation, you eject the unfertilized egg, and the uterine wall flakes - tissue is also ejected, which is normal. As a result of hormonal problems you may have some current before and after menstruation, chest pain, headache before menstruation. If you have menstrual pain, it is very important to take Spazmalgon, Paracetamol or another painkiller BEFORE the pain develops. Start educating yourself on the topics of human sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases, contraception. It is never early enough for a woman to prepare for this headache before menstruation.

   Cotton with wings, best. They do not mate, this is your first cycle, you are not expected to have a large amount of blood and they seem to be more comfortable. So to the question, how did I tell my mother ... Well, the day after Christmas came to me and in the evening my stomach hurt, I had no idea what was wrong with me, because it wasn't a normal pain. And I didn't get up to go to the bathroom because it was a holiday, of course I was overeating and I didn't expect it to be serious. In the morning I went to the toilet and felt what was happening, of course everything was in blood, who would expect you to come to me. As a complete dude, I cleaned everything, washed myself, put on a bandage, went out of the toilet and my mother was cleaning something. - Mom, I either have a bad infection or I have it. "Congratulations, disappear, I'm going to wash the windows." No reaction. Play me: D! In the evening he sat down to explain to me about the bandages and that's it. But yes, I normally said to myself, she accepted it normally. Look, this is a part of life, you are a girl, you are 13, it is normal for you to come, your mother does not live in the primeval era. I guess he'll talk to you after that, explain the more important things and that's it. Nothing happened, she is a woman, she will understand you. And even if you don't tell her, she'll remember who washes your underwear after all? And let me not forget - your happy menstruation, I hope it is not one of the long and painful ones and let everything go in order.

   A very sad story - to ask your questions here and not be able to share with your mother ... Anyway. You will use bandages according to the bleeding - on the package are marked with a different number of drops. The night ones are the safest for heavy bleeding, I'm not saying they are the most comfortable, but there is no way. At school it is better to drive at night if it bleeds a lot. It means a lot to change the bandage every hour or less. It is preferable to wear a skirt or tunic these days, without light jeans. The safest dressings are Libresse and Alwways. But my advice is to talk to your mother, because from now on there will be problems, and she should be aware of them.

   This is one of the most normal things. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Millet? say. And she is a woman after all. Once you've talked about this, it's okay, mine never said anything to me, and when it came to me, I thought I was dying. TT

   Congratulations! You are already a girl. How to tell mom - well, just tell her, she will be very happy. I have a 16-year-old daughter and we were both very happy when she came. This happened a little later, only at 15, and it was really an expected event for us. Then we informed the men at home - her father and her brother - without any worries. There is nothing shameful or embarrassing. Put a bandage with more drops on it in the first days, ie for more abundant bleeding, and in the following days for more sparse. But you will judge for yourself according to the situation. And once again - without hesitation share the news that you are already maturing.

   There is nothing strange or shameful about telling your mother that you have come. It's a human thing, so don't worry! Just tell the truth, you better not turn around. If it's easier for you on the phone! And remember: DON'T WORRY !!

   I was 11 and at noon before I went to school, it came to me for the 1st time. I just went to the bathroom and my father was in the hallway and when I came out of where I was, I walked past him and told him "I think I came" and went to my room to get something and went to school. Nothing who knows what it is not, there is no point in being ashamed or anything like that. Just tell your mother she won't start arguing with you. about. about

   I also hid from my mother when she first came to me. I was 10 and when I went to take a bath I left my underwear in the basin, but I didn't soak it so that there was water for her to take a bath. However, she saw the blood and called me. She calls me "is this blood", I am ashamed and I shout "no", she shouts "okay". Then he started bathing again and called me and shouted at me "you can't lie to me, it's blood" and shouted "from now on it will be like this every month, it's like that with all women, come and give me what you need". I told her not to tell anyone, but you know how women keep a secret ... maybe you can (I didn't do it on purpose) make sense to leave your underwear with blood on it somewhere so she can see it. . As for what bandages to use, I would recommend you to use night ones during the day. That's for sure, that you will not get dirty. Change them often. Use cotton bandages because they allow the skin to breathe thinner so you don't feel like you're bleeding. I personally use Naturella at night and during the day and I am very happy. They are very thin and I forget that I am bleeding ... meaning that I am without a bandage, they do not feel at all. When you are bleeding profusely, you will use a bandage for heavy bleeding, and when you have less bleeding, you will use bandages for less bleeding. If you have anemia (like me) it is good to eat spinach during this period. Otherwise you will feel exhausted and spinach helps a lot. You put it in a pan, turn on the stove and then put an egg on top. I generally like spinach and I don't mind eating it. It really helps with anemia. You know that when you lose iron during menstruation, well, spinach gets it. for pain - take painkillers, otherwise brain cells die. Good luck in life! * D *

   I came to 11, my mother was not at home, so I put on toilet paper, because there were no bandages. I called before I went home to buy because I think I came. There is absolutely nothing shameful about that. Say ?.

turksefler answered · October 15, 2020

   My daughter came to 11. She was small, and now she is small, thin and not very developed. I was surprised, she told me calmly, I took off my bandages, changed my clothes and put them on. We discussed that they were better cotton. Then she chose a model herself, trying several. I was a little surprised, I thought it was 11 years old, but I asked the GP and she said that now the children are like that. Probably from the hormones in the food - they stuff animals with hormones to gain weight quickly, especially chickens. The bad thing is that after menstruation comes, growth slows down and soon ends - children hardly grow in height after that. But this is not something you can change or choose. There is nothing shameful about the author, as long as an 11-year-old child can accept the fact calmly, tell me without any worries and solve his problem, what is left for you. It's good for your mother to know to be loaded with hygienic materials at home, and at least in the beginning to monitor whether it is regular, whether it is not more abundant than normal, whether everything is fine with you. You just say "It came to me", there is nothing to explain, it is not from the forest, it will immediately guide you in things. Trust her more! It should!

   There is nothing shameful, darling, I see that the topic is old, but if someone else wants an opinion ... It came to me for the first time 1 year ago, then I was 12. It was very embarrassing, I am still ashamed and it becomes funny network. lol We were in math class and the lady picked me up to solve a problem everyone started laughing and I turned and laughed and wondered what was wrong with them and my best friend told me to sit down, but I really wanted to solve the problem , then the lady started to mess with her bag came and told me to go quickly to the toilet and gave me a bandage. Then it became clear to me that I was whistling out of the room and then I was in the toilet for 1 hour and sometimes I cried because I was ashamed, sometimes it was funny. Then I got scared and went into class, no one paid attention to my happiness and so the day went on. When I got my mom and dad together they were in the living room and I told them mom, dad came to me today, the lady gave me a bandage, etc. I told them buy me bandages that I have to change it. My father immediately ran to buy me bandages. Maybe the fact that I'm not shy helped me a lot at this point. And girls, do not hesitate to tell your parents there is nothing scary or embarrassing.

   In my opinion, tell her calmly because she will guide you about the bandages, etc. A friend of mine didn't tell her mother, but she also needed bandages, she went to the store and took a short break because she didn't know what hers was (it was quite strong). . in history class they picked her up on the board to test her she came out and the whole class started giggling the lady right away and gave a bandage and sent her to the toilet. That's why I advise you to tell her directly. She will be happy. Good luck!!

   Hello! I am 12 years old and I have all the signs of a recent cycle. I have had a white discharge for 4-5 months and frankly I am afraid of my first period. My white flow is quite strong, and when I run or jump my stomach starts to hurt a lot and it's awful. If it comes to me soon, I will be ashamed to tell my mom, but I have no choice! Thanks for listening to me.

   Hmm, well, it went like this for me. I was sitting on the couch and watching TV in the morning and I felt uncomfortable, I went to the bathroom, looked and stopped that I felt like it. In fact, I was quite happy, without thinking and I said it came to me and she showed me how to put a bandage, etc. and she is very happy and yours will be happy. You have nothing to worry about, this is normal, my girlfriends years ago even bragged that they already have it, it means that you are a young girl. And I was 12 girl at 16

   I know the post is old, but let me express myself. Oh, that's so wonderful, darling. From now on you will have a week in the month, which will be hell for you. : D At least for me it's been like that for 10 years. There may even be two, especially if you have a hormonal hell in your body - in the sense of having a stronger PMS. Otherwise I will not lie to you, the cycle is not the most wonderful thing in the world - you sweat, your lower back, abdomen, legs, chest hurt, you change your mood constantly, you eat sweets like an animal. : D: 3 Otherwise, my favorite bandages are Librez, cotton and thin. And as for the last days, especially in the summer, I prefer to use tampons. I remember there was a rumor at the time that tampons were for girls who had already had sex, but not for virgins. I'm not a doctor, but to be honest, I don't think there's such a thing as "tampons for girls,

mrwideboi answered · October 19, 2020

   There is nothing to worry about, after all, everyone will pass from there or have already passed ... There is nothing shameful in that. When it came to me in the beginning it was very small and I drove for 2 days with one bandage. I mean ... The first time the first day came, it was more, but the next day it was very little. Next month may not come at all. It was like that for me. And the 3rd month can go all well for you. Or to go as you should, but to be abundant. After my first period, 7 months was very abundant. Even in the week I was menstruating, I didn't go to school because it was very, very abundant. Then I realized that when you drink vitamin C it instantly becomes much weaker. I drink 6 at a time and if very strong 2 times a day. Once you have taken it three months later, your period is much weaker. It's not so abundant ... About the bandages .. I use some naturela I think are called chamomile. And when bathing .. When you are in a cycle you can bathe every day and even several times, do not worry! <3 Good luck and tell your mother part soon!

   It came to me for the first time at 12 for 4 days before it came to me I had stomach aches. He came to my school but I did not dare to see. I went home and because I was wearing purple pants, I thought it was a different color. I decided to go with paper on top and saw that the color was slightly orange, I wiped myself and it was brownish red. I called and told Mom. Then I went to English and when I got home the bandage was naturally soiled. I have some small pieces that I see wiping. My question is what are they?

   For me, it's just the opposite - I was just waiting for it to come to brag to my mother: DE came to me this summer, I thought I would be happy to see him because only I and 2-3 other girls in the class did not have .. but instead I panicked and started screaming ... well, mine went away in 4 days, it wasn't very abundant, but on the other hand I had very strong pains ... and so :) I advise you not to hide, because such something brings daughters closer to their mothers. And she has a cycle and she will get into your situation. Good luck :)
