Quick period question?

Question

I'm 14 and I first got my period in May, and i've had it about twice since then, the second time was 2 weeks early. I got it again 2 days ago, but I have a relatively heavy flow this time. My mom said that she gets a heavy flow the first few days, too. I'm really scared though. Is this normal to have it heavy?

Answer 1

Believe it or not, heavy bleeding happens in some women.  There will be times in your life where it lightens up too or lessens in frequency.  Don't freak out...that is what those heavy pads are for.  If you aren't comfortable with the bulk of a pad, why not try tampons?  Your Mom should be able to handle something as natural as your period, she has been there...maybe she's just upset for you b/c she doesn't want you to go through what she does.  Still you can go to her...so tell her.  btw...I am petite too (5'0" and my periods have always been wacky).  Good luck!

Answer 2

yes its normal, just relax and enjoy it ;)

Answer 3

Yes, its normal to have a heavy flow, especially the first few days.  As your body adjusts to having a period every month your flow may get heavier or lighter, depending on how your body adjusts.
