Young women often have their first period around the age of twelve, however some girls may have their first period as young as eight. Some of your buddies might not start getting their periods until they're fifteen.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF YOUR FIRST PERIOD

When your body undergoes so many changes at once, it's difficult to know what to expect. Knowing when your period is coming is an important part of obtaining your first period.

Some of the symptoms you could experience before your first period are listed below.

• Tenderness and soreness in the breasts- It may feel as if you were hit in the chest or that you forgot your sports bra in gym class.

• Cramps-  The closer your menstruation approaches, the more cramps you'll have. Cramps are similar to stomach aches, however they occur on the lower body. Cramping will occur in the lower half of your torso, just below your belly button. Cramping can occur on one or both sides.

• Breakouts- Don't be surprised if you become tired during the day and don't feel like practicing. You may feel sleepy or as if you need to snooze for a few days before your period.

• Vaginal discharge has increased-  As your menstruation approaches, it's typical to have greater vaginal discharge. You'll notice a thicker, white-colored, odorless discharge that can occur at any time.

Make sure you're using pantyliners if you're experiencing discharge. Pantyliners are so thin that you won't even notice they're on. They are designed to fit snugly within your underwear to protect them while also keeping you comfortable.

• I'm having a really emotional day.- You may feel sobbing, extremely happy, or even stressed right before your period. You'll probably feel a little bit of everything, like a roller coaster.

It's a good idea to start planning for your period when you start feeling more and more symptoms. You should anticipate to have some of these symptoms every month if you've already had your period. Don't worry, it's just your body's way of letting you know everything is fine!

It's now time to inform your mother.

HOW DO YOU TELL YOUR MOTHER ABOUT YOUR FIRST MENSTRUAL PERIOD?

It's understandable; it's a little awkward. But keep in mind that when your mother first received her period, she went through the same thing. She most likely had to find out how to inform your grandmother as well.

If you haven't yet received your period, it's a good idea to start talking to your mother about whatever's on your mind. If you haven't told your mother about puberty or the changes you're experiencing in your body, now is a good time to do so.

Before you start your period, tell your mother what's going on. This will help you both prepare. She can also ensure that you have all you need to enjoy a fantastic first experience.

If you've already started but are frightened to speak with her, here are some conversation starters.

SCHEDULE A DATE FOR MOM AND DAUGHTER

Our mothers can appear to be extremely busy at times, especially if they work and have other people who rely on them. Asking your mother if you can go out to lunch or grab a smoothie together is a terrific strategy to ensure you get her full attention.

Tell her you need to chat to her about certain changes in your body once you're one on one. She'll most likely understand exactly what you're saying and make the conversation a breeze for you.

REMEMBER TO WRITE IT DOWN.

How many times have you texted your mother while you were in another room? Because texting is how we communicate, it's perfectly OK to inform your mother about your menstruation by text message. Texting is a fantastic way to communicate what you want to say without being interrupted or ashamed if you're hesitant about saying it out loud.

If texting isn't an option, consider penning a message to your mother. Writing down what you want to say will help alleviate any uneasiness you may have when speaking in person.

DON'T FORGET TO TELL HER

It's simple to make anything up in your mind. We consider what might happen if we say anything inappropriate, as well as how strange or humiliated we would feel. The talk usually goes much more smoothly than we expect, and we're glad we had it.

You can tell your mother when you start your period. Inform her that you've started your period and need to speak with her about it. Keep in mind that she's done this before, so you're speaking with a true period expert.

• Pads- You'll probably prefer to use pads instead of tampons when you have your first period. Tampons can be difficult to implant, and most women prefer pads until they've gone through a few more monthly cycles.

Pads are available in a variety of sizes, which are decided by the amount of fluid they can hold. For your first period, you should have at least two different sizes.

• Underwear for menstruation- What is the time frame? We'll explain period underwear if you've never heard of it. Period underwear has a special absorbent center that protects you from leaks while looking and feeling like regular underwear.

Period underwear can be worn both at night and during the day. Period underwear provides additional protection, allowing you to be more confident in the face of leaks and accidents.

• Patches of pimples Although pimples are unavoidable, they do not have to ruin your day. Pimple patches are little, transparent stickers that you apply to your pimples to help them shrink and fade. When you come across a pimple, avoid the impulse to press it (it will just make it worse) and instead use a pimple patch.

• Masks on a sheet- When you're on your period, it's a fantastic time to start thinking about self-care. Self-care entails taking the best possible care of yourself in order to maintain a relaxed, stress-free, and healthy state.

Sheet masks are a terrific way to exercise self-care, and if you use one every month, you'll undoubtedly look forward to it. Sheet masks are applied to the skin for 10-20 minutes and then removed to reveal softer, more moisturized skin.
