Talk to your mother sweety,she can explain it to you.If it is your first time she should be the one you talk too.

Ignore that first answer, the writer of which is obviously on here just for the points.
Yes, it sounds like it and they tend to get heavier and more frequent as you get a bit older. Talk to your mum or another older, trusted woman and if you are concerned about anything you can always talk to your doctor.
You will be fine!

This could be the very, very start of your body getting ready for your first period. The real period lasting 3-7 days may come with cramp's, and red blood.
I agree with the others though, you need to talk to your mother or sister or an adult lady. Congrats and welcome into womanhood!

yes, welcome to womanhood...this is the beginning of your period and you need to tell someone you are close too to celebrate it with you...it's wonderful to becoming a woman...and yes they should regulate with time, and if not you can always get on birth control to regulate it...so congratulations, oh, and by the way, I have two daughters, and they are still not regulated, and have to take the pill for this and they are in college, and one has a fibroid on her ovary which causes pain, so if that happens go to the dr. but, when I had a period when I was young like you, mine would always come at night and even as a grown woman after my kids, it would come and only be also when I wiped, but, think of it like a blessing, because my daughters flow to the max when they do have theirs and it's tough having to change pads/or tampons all the time...but, congratulations.

Yeah it seems like it, but if it smells disgusting and foul then you should change more often. If it changes colour, and goes sightly yellow or green, talk to your doctor as this could be infection.
Go out and get some sanitary towels and put them in your underwear so it'll soak up the blood.
Congrats! xx

Yep, probably. Talk to your mom. Be sure to carry a pad in your purse for when you get the real thing during the day.

It could be a start every woman is different. You should really talk to your Mom. It is uncomfortable at first but well worth it.

Honey you really need to be talking to your mother.
You are twelve, some women start at age 13, You are on your way to starting. but again please talk to your mother about this, not here subjecting yourself to all sorts of weird answers and insults.
