How Hauwa told her mum about her period
One day, I was sitting and gisting with my friends. I suddenly felt something wasn’t right. I looked down and I saw blood where I was sitting! Ah! I was so scared! I didn’t know what was happening. Had I injured myself?
I didn’t want to stand up. I was so ashamed. I even started crying. My best friend saw I was upset. So she came near and asked what was wrong. I whispered ‘Rukayat, I think I’m dying!’
I showed her the blood. She told me to calm down and stop crying. She said it was normal. It had happened to her and some of our other friends. She said to tell my mum right away.
Tell my mum? About blood that is coming from down there? What if I did something to cause this? I was scared she would beat me.
Rukayat said my mum would understand. That my mum also goes through the same thing every month. She said my mum would explain everything.
When my mum came home, I was still very scared. I didn’t know how to tell her. She was in the kitchen preparing food. I kept going in and coming out without saying anything. Finally, my mum asked me what was wrong.
I took a deep breath. Then I told her.
She wasn’t angry. She hugged me and said that I was growing up. She showed me how to use a sanitary pad. Then she sat me down and explained everything.
She said it is called menstruation which means every month my uterus (also called the womb - this sits near your stomach) will shed it’s lining. That lining is the blood that comes out of my vagina . She said It is normal and nothing to be scared or ashamed of.
My mum was so happy I came to her about something this important. I was relieved and happy after speaking to her.
Talking to your mum or a trusted adult about these things could make you feel better. You can also learn from their experiences.

Hey Feranmi! So sorry to hear about that. You can tell any other adult you trust. This could be your sister, aunty, grandparent, teacher, religious leader or even your dad. If you find it difficult opening up to any other person, you can always come back here. Big Sister is more than willing to hear from you and advise you on what to do. We hope this helps.

I already knew about periods and stuff cause my two bestfriends were already going through theirs. So wen I jst saw it , I told my mum I was on my period and needed sanitary pads, she got them and even wanted to show me how its worn but I told her not to worry; but mothers will always be mothers, so she still insisted...so it wasn't a shock when my period came since I kinda knew about it already.

Hey Umar! Your sister is coming to you for advise because she trusts you and looks up to you (which is very good). You should not be irritated about such a thing. We know menstruation is a sensitive topic and so many people do not like to talk about it but try to tell her what you know about it. To answer her questions, first of all tell her about the basics you know. You can even tell her stories of your experience (through gisting) and you will be surprised at how easy it will be. We hope this helps.

Hey Kaycee! First of all, period pains are normal (especially on the first day) so don't be scared. You can try any of these easy solutions; have a hot bath, place a hot water bottle on your tummy, take a walk or take some pain killers as prescribed by a doctor or certified pharmacist. However, if the pain persists, please talk to a trusted adult and see a doctor. We hope this helps.

Hey 2580! It all depends on the situation. Sometimes, especially when you just start seeing your period, you tend to miss it. This happens to almost every girl as the period is not yet regular. However, there are other things that can cause irregular periods. We suggest you try eating healthy (more fruits and vegetables). Cut down the sweets, biscuits, sift drinks and other types of junk. Sometimes, what you eat affects things like your menstrual cycle. Also, please talk to a trusted adult around you and if possible, see a doctor. We hope this helps
Lol. Many things are involved. The food you are eating may contains alot of sweat. Secondly, you may have infection which used to be toilet infection. Thirdly, are you going out with a guy or having unprotected sex? You may be pregnant. Above all when this happens talk to your mother or call your family doctor.
I was at school then and I was very shock and scared. I told my big sister and she go tell my mother immediately I heard my name dat my mother is calling me I was very scared

It happened at my cousin's house. I felt wet all of a sudden, I stood up to check I the toilet. As I was going, my cousin saw it. She called me and explained to me about what was happening to me at that time. She showed me how to use a sanitary pad. When my mum came to pick me up, I told her. She smiled and asked me if I knew how to use a sanitary pad I told her yes

Wat's meaning of virgin
I am 22 years of age and i am no more a virgin,i am going to marry next month and i am afraid what my husband will think of me when he know am not a virgin on our wedding night,though one of my friend advice me to use alum but am afraid it might cause me harm

Latest Reply
Hey Omowumi2! First of all, you should not have hidden this from your fiance. Virginity and things of this nature (your past) are quite sensitive and should not be kept as a secret. We advise that you stylishly tell him that you are not a virgin so that he doesn't get disappointed on the wedding night. Also, please ignore your friends because alum can never restore virginity instead it increases the risk of infection. The easiest and safest way to tighten your vagina is kegels exercise. This can be done by holding the vagina muscles (especially when urinating. Hold your urine for about 3 seconds, release some, hold for another 3-4 seconds. Repeat until done). We hope this helps.

Hey Esther! In calculating your period/menstrual circle, note that the first day of your period is also the first day of your menstrual circle and the last day of your period is not the last day of your circle but the last day of your period. The duration/flow depends on individual. The last day of your cycle is day before your next period starts. For example, if your period started on the 1st of April and your next period starts on the 3rd of May, your cycle will be 2nd of May. This means that your cycle lasts for 31 days. Your new cycle starts again from the 1st day of your next period. Please note that your period can be delayed at sometimes and can also come earlier than normal. We hope this helps.

you can not get pregnant while having sex with period ....pregnancy can only occur if. you are ovulating the same day that your period begins.... It can only expose you to high risk of Infections which is bad but for me,I cant have sex with my period

Hey Star! It is not advisable to wear pads when you are not on your period. The best thing is to use panty liners because they are not as thick as sanitary pads. Also, it will be much better to count your period so that you do not get caught unawares. We hope this helps.

Hey Star! There are so many signs and symptoms that come when you are about to start your period but these signs are unique to individuals so listing all the signs may not work out because you may not see some of these signs because everyone is unique. What you need to do is to listen to your body for the signs. If you read articles like "How to deal with teenage hormones" and "5 ways to make sure you don't get stained", you will see some of these signs but remember that everyone is different. Panty liners are similar to sanitary pads but they are lighter and thinner. They are not be used for heavy flow but rather can be used towards the end of your period. We hope this helps.

Hey Safiya! In calculating your period, you should pay more attention to the number of days in your circle rather than the date your period comes. What we mean is that if your cycle is a 30 day cycle, you should not be bothered if it came on the 1st of the month but rather, count the number of days to complete 30 days to know the next date your period will come. Periods usually last for 21 - 35 days in a cycle so you need to pay attention to know how many days your cycle is. We hope this helps.

Hey Olami-gold! This is not true. Period does not kill. Every girl/woman sees her period in her lifetime till she reaches the age of menopause. It is the way women are built and so it does not kill. When a girl starts seeing her period, it is a sign that she is fully mature (her body) and so can get pregnant if she has sex. So please, Olami-gold, periods do not kill. If it kills, there will be no girl/woman on the face of the earth. We hope this explains all you need to know about periods.

Hey kate! Thanks for the comment. Not all girls start their period at 14. Some even start as early as 9. We are all different and so we start our periods when our bodies are ready to start and this is different for everyone. You need to tell your mum and explain this to her. Also, you should ask your friends and other girls in your community when they started their period so that you can use them as an example in case your mum finds it hard to believe you. We hope this helps
When I started seeing my own period, i was scared too, I though I was dying until I consult my mum.

When i started seeing my period i wasn't scared coz i was taught at school

When I saw my period I thought I was dying bcos I wasn't taught yet, I assumed it was part of my normal skin irritation and my mom always complains about my irritations so I was scared to tell her but my aunt visited that week and noticed the stain on my shorts, I begged and cried for her not to tell but she just laughed and till now I feel like a fool

Hey Emmy! Thanks for sharing this with us. You do not have to feel like a fool. The truth is that no one knows it all. The good thing now is that you now know what happened. We advise that next time, you talk to a trusted adult when you are not sure about something or you can even google it. We hope this helps
Thanks Big sis
