Answer 6

she could be spotting

does she have cramps? seems cranky

i was a 11 when i got mine

she will always be your baby girl though :)

Answer 7

if shes big for her age, its probably normal..

if shes very petite, id take her to see the doctor to be sure :)

Answer 8

Well it depends on your daughters age.

If she is approaching her teens..around 11, or 12 then it is possible!

But don't be upset about it. It's just a part of life.

But if she is urinating blood, then you need to go to the doctor immediately.

It may be an uncomfortable conversation but find out where this blood is coming from..

Answer 9

some girls start early

Answer 10

shes probably ready to have her period, most likely, the bleeding is her period so its very very possible, almost surely she had her period. go talk to her about it if she doesnt know already about puberty and all that if you would like.

best of luck!

hope everything goes well.

Answer 11

If she only notices when she goes to the bathroom, and it's not in her underwear, then it's probably a sign of a bladder  or kidney infection( worst case scenario). Just to be sure, you should take her for a check-up.

Though it's not uncommon for 10 yr olds to get their menstrual cycle, getting it this early could also be signs of something else.

I advise a check up just in case :)

best of luck and hope nothing is wrong.

Answer 12

it doesn't sound like her period because when you have your period you bleed constantly, not just when you use the restroom. you might want to double check with the doctor- i would.

Answer 13

It's possible, but could also be a UTI.  Does she have any other symptoms?  I'd get her a doctor appt., just to be on the safe side.

Answer 14

ahah

Answer 15

sounds like she is growing up. i would take her to the gynecologist for a visit

Answer 16

i think she has a period.

yea.

just buy her some pads and get her a book about periods.or something like that :P

Answer 17

well if shes bleeding you need to tell her about periods and stuff she needs to know to be able to make sure she has really started her period but this Meens shes growing its just a sign of puberty we all went through it!

Answer 18

look it could be a sign of UTI (urinary track infection) too

I am not sure and I am not making a diagnosis here

just the fact that you said she notice when she pees

so it raise for me the flag

ask her of . pain discomfort and so so

take her to the doctor and tell them they will tell you in a sec

she will pee in a cup and after 15 min they tell you infection or not

if not you know she is growning up

if yes 7 days of antibiotic and done !!!

good luck go to the doctor please

Answer 19

shes probably an early bloomer so she probably has her period

Answer 20

If it was her period it would probably be visible at other times besides when urinating.  Please take her to the doctor.  There may be a bladder infection, hemorrhaging, or worse....

She needs a doctor.  If it is her period it wouldn't hurt to go to the doctor anyways, she may need some reassurance from a doctor that she is ok.

Answer 21

could be an infection, kidney, or cystitis, best to get it checked out at the docs

Answer 22

I started mine at 11 years old so it might be. When I first started I had some light bleeding and then more of a flow.

Answer 23

it sound slike a bltter infection, i would just take her to a doctor for a quick pee test and im sure they can just give her a 5 day prescripton.

Answer 24

Dude give the doctor a ring

Answer 25

No she is shrinking and the blood is just excess that the body no longer needs as it is getting smaller.

Answer 26

All daughters grow up at some point.

Answer 27

At first there's nothing to expect because everyone is different. It is most likely her period, and if she doesn't get it again for up to 6 months that's still normal.

Answer 28

It sounds like she could have an infection, take her to a real Doctor and stop asking us quacks!

Answer 29

bleeding from the v****a= period.

it comes differently for younger children. my neice was 11 when she got hers. it would come sporadically and the cycles would be short.  

Answer 30

She isn't to young to be having a period.  She could have a bladder problem, too.  Is she complaining about burning or frequency with urination?  If she doesn't complain about back pain or the other symptoms I listed, she is probably having a period.  

Answer 31

a girl can get her "friend"  from age nine. most of the time it starts between the ages of eleven to age fifteen. but there have been cases that it started earlier.
