I've just picked my daughter's pants up off the floor from yesterday (as you do) and noticed a couple of small pink pink spots in her pants. I think my now we would be aware if anything more was going to come, but worrying as she's now at school without any towels.
Even though she's 12, I haven't given her any towels (just in case) as there were no signs of puberty in September. She now has breasts and pubic hair growing (no underarm hair), but I suppose I've convinced myself she wouldn't start for a few months as she's tiny (140cm, 4st8lbs), she was only 44.5cm at birth and I think follows my Mum for height who is only 145cm.
Luckily I've recently bought a couple of packs and was going to suggest in the school holidays she start carrying a couple in her school bag. Sounds silly, but almost feel a bit emotional in case I have let her down and she starts at school today. Luckily I'm no more than 10 mins from the school if she needs me and I know from a friend the school do phone parents if their daughter starts there.
From experience of your daughters starting, do you think she could start today or could it just be spotting in preparation? Whatever I need to do that talk tonight.
