So I got my first period yesterday. I was sleeping, you know, its like summer and its 9ish or 10ish AM. I was planning on sleeping till like 11 or something when i woke up. Why? I felt like my panties were soaked. And i mean SOAKED. So then i was like oh crap. crap. crap. crap crap. First i thought i peed in my sleep, and then i thought i pooped in them (lol). But when i felt the matress around me, it was dry. And then somehow, I thought my sister did it (she’s 8 and sleeps with me sometimes). But then i was like naaaahhh. So i put my hand under the blanket and felt my crotch area from the outside. Slightly Wet. I got up a little, and looked at my panties (thank god my sister was still asleep). I thought i really did poo in them because i was wearing a white zebra striped undies and my blanket was a dark shade so it made it look like poop. And then, when i adjusted my head a little, i saw blood.Then i was like shit. I went to the bathroom and realized i did get my period. I went to my parents rooom and thankfully, my dad was downstairs in the kitchen. My mom was talking on the phone to someone and had just hung up and was about to call someone else but i was like wait. And then, I whispered, so softly, “i think i got my period”. After that she bombarded me with questions (how do you know, really, omg) and she was really excited. By then my sister had woken up and she thought i was supposed to get it when i was 16. So my mom gave me a pad and yeah. This is my second day. The first day wasn’t that bad, I didnt have any cramps at all, but today I’m kind slightly dying on the inside. Oh, and it sucks cause i have a Very heavy flow. Every time i pee and i wipe, SO much blood comes, its scary. Today my parents are both are at work, and my sister wanted to be my “Chop Chop” which apparently means i can tell her to do something and she’ll do it. So yeah. Im 12, almost 13 btw. Periods Suck.
Periods Suck.
