Dd is 11.5 and showing some signs of puberty -breast buds and a few spots but no other changes
Yesterday morning she had some spotting, but has had nothing since then
Is this the start of her periods or something else?
Her older sister was much more physically developed when she started her periods, as was I, and we both started with proper periods so this has thrown me a bit
Dd is taking it all in her stride but i'm not sure if I should now be encouraging her to wear pads just incase or not -she has a little purse with a pad and a spare pair of pants in that she keeps in her school bag so I have prepared her but i'm just not convinced she has actually started
