Freaked about getting it for the first time
Hey chica, while you may not know exactly which day you’re period’s coming, there are definitely some warning signs that’ll prepare you for it. PMS (premenstrual syndrome) is the process your body goes through before a period, so it’s a great way to tell if you’re almost ready.
Along with PMS comes cramps in your lower back, headaches, tender boobs, bloating and mood swings. You also might be a little overly sensitive or emotional, but don’t worry, that’s perfectly normal. Another major sign that your period’s coming is white vaginal discharge, which is a mucous-like substance that most girls start getting about six months before their first period.
