Back in October the day I had been quietly dreading arrived and DD started her period aged 10yrs 4months. She's always been a little ahead of the game in the development stakes so I wasn't overly surprised but she was really upset and didn't want to talk about it. I'm a nurse so have never been prudish about these matters and have encouraged her to talk to me, I also know they've been over the subject at school several times, I just think she hates the idea of it all.
Her first period only lasted a few days but seemed surprisingly heavy from the evidence I saw, I know when I first started it was more spotting but hers came with a gush! Then there was nothing until the week before Xmas when it started again, this time it was less of a shock & we were better prepared. This second period lasted 8 days which seemed like a long time but then she only had a gap of just over a week before starting again :(
She's still really heavy today after around 2 weeks of bleeding and I'm getting quite worried, she doesn't really want to talk about it still and freaked when I suggested we might see GP!
I don't have much experience of gynae problems so not really sure how out of the ordinary this is or what can be done about it. Any thoughts?
