    This is something you tell your mom about immediately, so it can be properly checked out.

    Period is sooo heavy!!
    So my periods are hot usually like this at all, but I started this period yesterday, it started well, but then it was bleeding and bleeding and there was also chunks of blood when I was in the shower!! And when I woke up this morning, my pjs were full of blood and my pad was FULL but luckily I but a red blanket so I did not get blood stains on bed. It's the 1st time my period has been heavy like this. And I'm not a big person I'm accualy pretty small. Please don't say go see a doctor or talk to your mom because I know that that won't happen so just don't say that. Will it calm down? Is it just for this period? My other periods where just normal periods but this one is reallly bad. IM JUST 12. Please help I'm like freaking out??

    If you were expecting your period then it looks like you answered your first question. If you weren't then then you definitely need to talk to an adult. If you won't talk to your mother, is there another adult (father, aunt, friend of the family, etc.) who you do trust?

    While it should calm down, this is something you need to discuss with an adult. An extremely heavy flow may be normal or may indicate there is something wrong. Without a check-up there is no way of knowing.

    How old are you? 12? 13?

    Im 12 sorry I did a typo on 1st questions. But I have no health problems and I know that there is nothing wrong with me. Do you think its just a ine time thing this heavy period.

    I see you corrected the typo. Thank you.

    I don't know and can't tell you if this is a one time thing. For some females, it is 'normal' and most of their periods start off very heavy. For others, it is a sign that something is wrong. As I said before, only a doctor doing a check up and running tests can tell you what is going on.

    How long have you been getting your period? Are your periods regular as in you know when to expect it within a day or two? What type of pads are you using? You may need pads that are designed for heavier flow and/or overnight use.

    I cannot stress this enough, you need to talk to an adult. Who buys your supplies? You need to talk to talk to them about better sanitary pad options if nothing else.
