My First Period

About to get your first period?

Your first period is a sign that your body is maturing and becoming capable of reproduction. It is a normal and healthy part of growing up. Most girls get their first period between the ages of 10 and 15, but it can happen earlier or later.

It is important to be prepared for your first period. Talk to your mom or another trusted adult about what to expect and how to manage the symptoms. You may also want to stock up on pads or tampons, and wear dark underwear in case of leaks.

Your first period may last for a few days or a week. The bleeding may be light or heavy, and you may experience cramping and other symptoms. It is normal for your period to be irregular at first, but it should eventually settle into a regular cycle.

Looking to demystify the period?

Periods are a natural and healthy part of growing up for girls. But many girls feel embarrassed or confused about them. Here are a few things to demystify periods for girls:

  • Periods are not dirty or shameful. They are simply a sign that your body is working properly.
  • Periods are not a sickness. You do not need to stay home from school or work because you have your period.
  • Periods are not painful for everyone. Some girls experience cramping or other symptoms, but others do not.
  • Periods are not forever. They will stop when you reach menopause, which is usually around the age of 50.

If you have any questions or concerns about your period, talk to your mom, another trusted adult, or your doctor. They can help you understand what is happening and how to manage your period effectively.

Remember, periods are a normal and healthy part of growing up. There is nothing to be ashamed of.
