Hi again, Im back again and just wanted to tell you that my dds period came in September 09, err... at age 9. She has experience two more periods to date.. Well, i think shes handling it quite well, though she wish it would stop forever. :roll:

Heya moonee, glad tt ur dd is handling it well..... :celebrate:

Hi cluelessmom and daisy,
yup, I guess shes learning to accept it even though she hates it and cant wait for it to stop each time. I was in a state of blurness when it first came and went round looking for the most comfortable pads to get her, shes tried and wasted alot. She dislike and find pads uncomfortable but manage to find a few brands for different days for her. The first time was abit heavy so for the nite i gave her \"goodnites pullup\" but placed a pad on it too, she found that comfortable. Taught her not to settle for anything less than 28cm as that would cover most areas when she move instead of adjusting a pad thats 22cm. 25cm should be good for light days.
Just to make her feel better, I reminded her of her diaper days and told her that she used to wear it for a few years except that now.. its blood instead of urine. She complain each time....why must woman have period. Well i explained all of us feel this way some time or other but we all live with it.
She started in sept09, didnt see next period till Nov and Jan, lasted for a full 7 days. ,,,,,,, I still think its early as her mind is rather young and shes not too conscious of herself yet.
Actually shes very well developed but unfortunaly not the brain! :lol:

Yes, when I was young, I wished it never come and even now, at times, I wish too!


At the age of 9! OMG, your girl really handled it very well.

I was told in the schools, p5 girls will be given a talk on this matter. Then all the kids will giggle.

I was told that if the mother got her period early, her daughter would get hers at around the same age as her mom, is this true?


Is there anyone whose dd did not experience growing spurts after getting her period? I’m curious becos I hope my dd would grow taller when she gets her period.

Yes, I have heard about this too. Quite true for dd and my case, we started around the same age.

As for growing, in another topic, someone mention, usually would stop growing taller one year after period. As regards to grow sideway, I am not very sure.

Not so true , i had mine when I was early 14 and my dd at 9 maybe she grew up eating chicken rice while I had mash potatoes :lol: Oh yes my daughter was growing very fast last year but now she has slowed down a little neverthless still growing but at normal \"speed\"
After her first period she asked me whether she can have a baby. :!: I thought she wanted to engage in sex but i realised she associated period with reproduction.. .she recently told me she does not know in detail how a baby is made.. I thought she knew as her friends do discuss such issues but seems like they dont know the details. Im not telling as im waiting to see how much she knows.

Hi daisyt and moonie,


So my dd still got chance to grow taller. Btw, after your dd got her period, does she behave & think more maturely. I don’t remember I experience much changes myself, but kids are so different nowadays so can share your experiences?

TIA.

There was a report in the papers on More under 14 having sex (?)


I took the chance to tell dd more about the birds and bees thing.

In the end, she asked why they do it. :roll:

Hi Orchids, Well yes, I notice shes more serious and a bit more responsible. She tends to worry about work thats undone unlike last time, well at least she does her homework independently with out my asking...notice shes always deep in her own thoughts and wont share what shes thinking..much prefer to be left alone in her room with the door locked (she used to make me stay in the room with her when she does her work.) At times when i pose questions to her i do get more matured answers too... kind of make me feel like I have a teenager at home.

Hi orchids, my dd is always more mature in mind compare to same age. I guess due to single child.
