Period question
13
Tue, 07-29-2008 - 2:49pm

Wasn't sure where to put this the 10-12 or 13-14 so I'll put it here.A quick question last night around 8:30,Gabby came down stairs and asked me if she started her period,because she had two little drops of blood in her underwear.I wasn't sure but I got her set up with a panty liner sized pad and told her to wait and see if anything more happens.Well nothing more at all.Nothing on tp when she wipes herself and nothing on the pad.I am not sure if she started or not.She is starting to develop,but she really has not gone through a growth spurt at all and Gabby claims she has no boobds(ie no cleavage)I feel kind of silly not having a clue.When I satrted it was an actual period.She says maybe she is just one of those people who have light periods.Well unless she has a utertus the size of a pea no pepd is that light.Anyway any of you with girls who have started was it really obvious?Two drops,and I do mean tiny drops,do not a period make.She claims she did not hurt herself there.Most of her friends who started were more developed than her when they started,but I she does have hair and tiny bumps,so maybe but I dn't know.She still looks more like a girl than a women(KWIM).She can still wear size 12 in pants,so she is not that big yet she weighs around 83lbs and she is just short of 5ft.I kind of feel dumb siince I am cluless.TIA for any answers or if yu could share your experience with me.I talked to my bff,but she does not ahve girls,and like me when she started it was a period,not two little drops.

Thanks that helps they both look a little older than Gabby does,but that may be the height.I really doubt that Gabby will be much taller than 5ft 4inches,but we shall see.Your girls are beautiful.You can always take them to V/S to get a bra.I gt Gabby astrapless ne there and the liquid padding it makes her look way bigger than she really is.She actually hates it,so we got a more normal one at Aerie.Your trip looks like it was fun!

They love VS bras and only wear push up bras now. It's very important to them to have a little something on top. Must be the age and most of their friends have more than they do.
