My 9 year old daughter was at a family members house the other eveing and started bleeding from her vagina. We gave her pads etc, as I have discussed menstruation wtih her before, but when she woke up in the morning, there was no more blood. Is it normal for a girl to have such a short, light period? For the first one? Her stomach was hurting her two days prior to this?...its been along time for me and I cannot remember.....PLEASE HELP

Its probably just spotting, I had that a few times before I actually started my period. Her first period will be really light but it will last longer than a day. I am 27 and remember all of that! I was 12 when I actually started but spotted about 4 months prior.

She's advantageous. completely wide-spread. the traditional age is 12, and eighty 4% of all women have began via age 12 and a 0.5. women are maturing lots swifter right this moment than they have been 10 years in the past - some scientists blame it on the nutrition (cows with improve drugs as an occasion). you are able to take her to the physician in case you opt to, just to make particular she is suited and healthful, yet this age is wide-spread. everywhere between 9-sixteen is wide-spread, some start up at age 8 now too. i became 14 as nicely. make particular she is familiar with each and everything and tell her she will come to you if she has any questions. purchase some pads, chocolate and midol and he or she'll be advantageous:)

Kat is incorrect when she says that it is wrong for a girl to start her period at 9 y.o. With the increase in health and food, children are reaching puberty earlier than 10-20 years ago. Fifty years ago Australian/American/ West European girls reached puberty between 12-15. Now the same girls reach puberty between 8-12. European girls who reach puberty later do so due to genetics combined with health standards and food quality etc.
Precocious puberty can start as young as 2 years of age with girls and happens a lot more than people realise.

Yes, it's normal. When you first get your period, it will most likely be irregular for the first year or so. So don't get worried if her first period is short, it may come back again in a few day.

During the adolecent years, periods are iregular. It might not have been a period. Maybe she was just bleeding in that area as it matured. Ask a doctor. It's just wrong if she started puberty at age 7-8 and get a period at 9.
It's different anyway.
