8yo Starting Puberty?

[FabulousFlamingo]

DD has just turned 8. She's had a bit of B.O. for about 2 months now, mainly after exercise or a particularly busy day. Yesterday and today she had discharge in her knickers. She's also complaining of tummy ache. No other signs of development. So a few questions really:

should I speak to the GP or will they just say it's totally normal from 8 years upwards and let us get on with it?
Could the tummy ache be period related maybe?
How long is discharge usually present before a period starts?
She's a really tiny 8yo so I'm really surprised this is happening already. I didn't start my periods until I was 12. I'm not ready for all of this- I thought I had at least another couple of years, she's still a baby 😢

I don’t think she’s likely to have her period for a good while ( breast buds and then body hair will come first), so it’s probably a couple years off. I don’t think 8 is super young for a bit of BO, not sure about discharge. I would ask for a phoner with your GP nurse, just to check.

Dd had a bit of BO about 8, and it kind of disappeared, discharge since 10 when breast buds started. Now 12 and no periods yet !

Thanks both, I'm going to call the Dr on Monday just to get a bit of advice and put my mind at rest. We had the periods chat the other night which went pretty well and I've bought her a book to read in her own time and told her to ask me if she has any questions
