Tell her exactly that! Tell her you've got your first period! Your Mum is one of the best people you can talk to about it because she has been through it all before and it is a phase of development that is considered special to many parents.
She will also be able to guide you as to how heavy your periods are likely to be, how long they last and if you are likely to get cramps etc. Mums are also good for buying sanitary pads and tampons. Each person is different but the rate and onset of puberty is largely determined by genetics. Some environmental factors such as diet will also contribute though.
I hate to tell you this but it sounds like what you head was an illness! Menstrual cramps are different from any other type of cramps that you might get. They tend to be a lot lower (closer to pubic hair line) rather than in your "belly" as such. You should not get a fever from menstruation. Fever is a protective mechanism used by your body to kill bacteria. Cramps and vomiting with a fever are more indicative of a stomach cold. The cramps are from you stomach and intestines complaining about what is in them and trying to get rid of what's inside.Well, I had cramps...down there...then I threw up repeatedly...had a fever...and I still haven't had my period!!!
Hi Kimmy,I have not had my period, but both (and most) of my friends have. I feel left out, but at the same time I don't want to start mine. I mean, all I really want to do is be a kid for as long as possible. Even if some people say that when you get it "You have become a woman", you can still do kid stuff. This my sound weird to you but I have a question, would you please answer me BellSprout?
My friend's mom won't let her wear Tampons because she said that there is a slight chance that (now it gets complicated) the skin* that the tampon "goes into" will break. She says that if that happens then you will not be a virgin anbymore. I wanted to know if that was true because my friend is totally making me bored because she can't go swimming with me when she has her period. I don't mean that in a bad way, just as a friendly reminder that I don't like swimming alone and if she can't come, well guess what? I'm alone.
*The skin is reffering to what I think is called the Hymen.
Please help me, so my friend's mom will not have to worry about that!
-.-
Oh.....so that's what happens. Thanx!Ultrasounds aren't always about pregnancy. They are used to see inside your body from the outside. They use it a lot with pregnancy because they can see the baby without damaging the placenta and without exposing the baby to chemicals or radiation. Ultrasounds can be used to view joints and other parts of your body too. Seeing you are young they won't want to be introducing you to radiation and other things like that either.
Well, I did have cramps...down there...that resorted me to throwing up.
Wow, I had cramps before but they didn't make me throw up!Well, I did have cramps...down there...that resorted me to throwing up.

My sister says that Health class won't take place until 8th grade!Man that was a late post >.< and we had to learn about puberty during 5th grade (last year). The teachers shared their experiences at the end. My teacher's mom didn't know what a period was, so when she started it, she thought she was bleeding to death!
Before some kinda "big move" that the district had, we would have Health class in 6th grade which was last year 4 me.
same
