For women with girls only?

My daughters 11, she is usally really happy put her moods been down the past year or so.5 girls in her class have gotten her peirod, and I do her landry so I noticed that for the past year shes been getting discharge.Last week (tuesday) she went to camp, it was sleep away and she got sick, complaining of belly cramps. A nurse checked her out and said that when young girls her age start to feel that it could be a sign that she could get her peirod in a month or so.Shes conserend with her breasts and constienly tells me "I'm only stage 2! I'm behide by one!" This week shes also gotten a lot of extra dishcharge, should I be on peirod look out?

Sounds to me like your little girl will be turning into a woman soon! Have you talked to her about her period much so that when it's time she won't feel embarrassed talking to you about the issue. She really is just around the age when most girls get there period too. What my Mom did was take me to Wal-Mart and let me pick out my first package of pads. I though that was really exciting. You could also plan a mother & daughters night out to "celebrate."

I had a friend that wouldn't tell her Mom because she was embarressed so she took her mom's pads and to hide them she would flush them down the toilet when she was finished changing them. Her mom found out a couple year later when the pipes in her house got so badley congested they had to call in the plumer for all new pipes in the bathroom! Just a little story of what could happen. Lol, It's been almost 13 years and I still laugh at her about it!

Good luck with puberty - it will be the hardest years you'll go through as a mother! Have a great day!

Take her to the lady doctor.

No. You should be on spelling lookout.

Whish I could help, but I was early. Like 9 yr old early, so I have no clue as to the normal progression of puberty.

Gross!!! Just have what she needs ready for her and Please STAY OUT OF YOUR DAUGHTER'S UNDERWEAR!! It's her business NOT YOURS!! yOU ARE VERY GROSS!!

Yes, you should. You're already doing a good job by noticing the signs and stuff, so keep that up. She's at the age where she's going to experience mood swings and be a little down sometimes. Just reassure her that everything's ok and that what she's going through is normal. She isn't weird, and the fact that she's behind by one stage is ok. If she doesn't reach certain milestones, it's totally normal.

She could have a yeast infection. (any age can have those) There is no reason not to take her to the gyno to find out. As long as you've had talks with her about what to expect when her period starts and she has a spare pad in her backpack - she'll be fine. For cramps a low dose of tylenol should help.

Yes, but I hope you told her once she gets it she won't want it. My daughter (14) complained too. LOL...it's so funny, becasue I dreaded it when I was getting it. Mine always kept a Pad in her bag for school. But luckily she got it overnight at home. The problem was my daughter coinsided with my period and mine is heavy. Poor thing, she still is irregular, (Sometimes skips a month, early or late sometimes). My daughter has a friend who still hasn't gotten hers at 14. My sister got hers when she was 16. Every woman is different as I'm sure you know. I would keep a look out for it. Get her to eat yogurt to avoid yeast infections during the discharge times. It's good for that, just NO Light yougurt, those are bad for you. It's not a yeast infection unless there's burning itching or an odor.

I recommend you to buy feminine pads for her just in case. My daughter was moody and showed all the signs a year before she actually got her monthly.

she's 11. i was 13 when i started. i wouldn't worry too much. she may just be feeling left out, you know. wants to be on par with her friends. it's a rough age. she could theoretically start at any tiime...

It sounds as though you are obsessing on this. Your daughter obviously knows what's going on. Why do you have to be on period lookout? What do you think you are going to do that she can't do herself? As long as she has the equipment she'll need (and that should be stored in her drawer in her bedroom) she doesn't need to have mom hovering over her.
Lighten up!

You should be asking your p ussy doctor not us you moron.

My daughter is 12 and she hasen't gotten her mentrual either, she also gets discharge and complains of pain in her stomach. I would say that it is part of the mentrual coming, usually it takes longer on some girls. My daughter has had discharge for about 1year in a half and no period yet. So it might be coming for your daughter soon so just keep an eye. What I do for my girl, is a give her a couple of pads to put in her backpack just in case she starts at school, show her how to put it on so she'll know.

Take her into doc and also there is videos you can get from your local health dept to show her if you need to. Also tell her it is ok to be behind a stage that she is unique and that the stage was set up on just a average amount starting at that age some don't till 13 and some not at all. I'm well in mid-30's and just get a couple times a year. Soooo tell her i'm more behind then her :) and not to worry. Your doing great and for the people out there that said your sick for looking at your daughters underwear well ignore them apparantly they don't do their laundry or know it is noticable while doing laundry. Have a great day and good luck.

I think you should be on the look out, sounds like her body is changing. time to take to the gyn and educate her about womenly functions.
