All About Puberty

moonee:

I pray that her period wont come so soon, thats my greatest fear now.

Hi Moonee, there is nothing to fear about. Just tell yourself, your girl has grown up. I have a friend, the daughter still has no period at the age of 17. After thorough check up, nothing wrong. I think, this is rather worried for the mum.

BTW, anyone heard about the cervical cancer jab ? My clinic doctor and gynea recommend me to get my girl to jab. I wonder if anyone here has done that for their girls.

If you freak out, it will be even harder for your daughter to handle anything because she can sense your loss and fear. She may even think that puberty is something devastating because "if my mum is reacting this way, and she is a grown woman… omg, it must be a horrible process!"


Always be tactful but utterly honest with your kids. Lay it out for her factually and with emotional support. You’ll be surprised at how much they can handle (and how much youths really crave honesty from adults)

Hi fluffie, for beginners, their flow are heavy, its quite common. She can try try those extra long night use, Lauria 34 cm for day and night use on the first few heavy flow days. You can also buy those panties that have a \"plastic\" lining to prevent overflow stain. Another method you could try to put on her bed, those baby plastic mat (we use to put on babies' bed to minimise wetting). Cover with a thin towel because the plastic mat can feel quite cold if sleeping in air con room. Hope this help.

Like to add on to daisyt, you can get bed liners from pharmacies like Guardian/Unity. Its those that they use in hospitals after you deliver or when they are doing dressing of wounds/etc. If you are comfortable with her using a tampon, just use it with the xtra long maxi pads.


If the menses is heavy as well as very painful accompanied by nausea, vomiting, dizzy spells, particularly just prior to or during the period or after, should see a gynae to rule out Endometriosis.

Hope this info is useful
