When do premature babies go through puberty?

Question

I just wanted to know out of curiosity Some girl was a premature baby. She's 13 now and she didn't go through puberty yet

Answer 1

My sister was a preemie and went through puberty very late compared to most girls.  I got my period at 12 years old and she got hers at 15.

Answer 2

being premature doesn't really effect it.  each person goes through puberty at their own pace some girls will start puberty at 8 years old and others will not until they are teenagers.  I have a friend of mine who didn't get her first period until she was 17.  she swore that their must be something wrong with her but turns out she was just a late bloomer.  I also had a friend in grade school who wore a D cup had started her period in the 4th grade.

Answer 3

premature babies catch up with full term babies by the time puberty comes around so maybe your friend is just a late bloomer.

Answer 4

It doesnt matter if she is premature/not. it will happen

Answer 5

Most premature babies catch up in their development with full term babies at age 2. Very premature babies may take longer but by school age they are generally on target. I doubt the prematurity has much to do with her lack of a period or puberty. I didn't get my period until I was almost 14 and I was over due!
