Thread: My daughter is 8 and has her period

I was a very late bloomer. It was well past my 16th birthday. My Mom had told me that if I didn't start soon, she was going to take me to the doctor. I hate doctors and somehow I managed to start about 2 weeks after she told me that. LOL!!! I was old enough to know and what was going on. I was soooooooo lucky. I was always terrified that I would start at school or in public. I literally started on the toilet. I wiped and there it was. I went and told Mom, she came back and told me it was ok, and gave me a pad and showed me how to put it on properly. I personally was a late bloomer all around. I started my first period the summer between 10th and 11th grade. In the same summer I grew from 4'9" to 5'5", a size 12 in kids to a size 5 in women and from a A cub bra to a double D. Talking about a growth spirt.

My cousin on the other hand started her's when she was 10 and was pregnant by the time she was 14. It just really depends on the child. Like you said, she gifted, that alone can advance the body, not to mentio your age you were.
