    This is normal for a lot of women. Brown blood indicates old blood, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

    You will probably need to switch to a pad a little later. Lots of women start really light on their period, and then it will progress into heavy, and then taper back off to light :)

    Yes. That means you just got off or getting ready to start your period. Unfortunately, it probably has an odor. I'm not doctor, but it's nothing to worry about. Good Luck girl!

    Yes its normal. Its just old blood that your body is cleaning out of itself. Right at the beginning of your period, and also at the end, your blood can appear brown. Its okay and nothing to worry about :)

    I am twelve years old, so this is a bit strange for me! I woke up this morning, changed my underwear and found blobs brownish reddish stains in my pants! When I told my mum, she didn't really take any notice, or give me information, so I thaught I'd just wear a towl all day. From what I've heard in sex education, a period is at the least, the same amount as a full big spoon, but I only had patches in my pants and a smallis blob on my towl. Is this normal??

    Your body is getting rid of the old blood, it looks kind of like a rusty color but it is normal. It will normally change to a reddish color after a couple of days and might change back to the brownish color toward the end. It is normal though so don't be alarmed its perfectly normal. Also Cutiefab34, the back pains I will let you know sometimes they will come a week before you get your cycle. Midol works really good for the back pain
