DD puberty not sure if this is ok

[choclab]

Hi slightly embarrassing , My dd almost 12 has discharge for while on off , not nasty , just wondered if any one has advice or child has similar ?

thanks

Haven't got dd but have nieces and my sister in law says this is quite normal as long as its clear and smells inoffensive, my niece was around 11 when this started to happen, her periods started a few months later.

Normal for girls in the run up to starting their periods.

thanks , yea its ok I'm sure , cloudy/creamy and non smelling at all , no pain , sore itchy etc . so I'm happy not bad ...

iv looked on internet and has said its common and can be light or heavy so im sure ok just wondered if was the kind of start of things i.e. periods sometime soon ....

she's been very moody to and tearful .

luckily she does tell me stuff so thats good .

I remember having that for ages before I started my periods. Was much too embarrassed to tell my Mum . That was over 20 years ago now so I guess it was normal and harmless!

thanks , I'm glad we can talk about this kind of stuff ...long may it last ...

Yes my daughter, now eleven has been having discharge for the past 10 months, sometimes she has to change her pants two or three times a day. She has little ultra thin pantyliners in her underwear drawer and uses them. However, it comes and goes and I would guess is indicating her period will start soon. She had very slight staining a couple of months ago, then again last week. The worst thing was the stomach cramps she got last week. I hope she is not going to be someone who suffers badly every month. I have always had a 'reasonably' easy time, but my sister virtually had to take a week off life every month for years.

dd had this on and off from age 8-9, and i took it as a sign of puberty. she got her first one just before she was 10 a few months ago.
