This is a bit of a strange question as it’s involving my daughter but I’m worried I will do my usual trick and jump to conclusions making things worse than they need to be.
She started her period in November. She’s 12 it lasted 7 days and was fine. 12 days later she started spotting again nothing too drastic for about 9 days then the last 5 days have been very heavy. She’s filling a pad every couple of hours and has leaked through to her bedding over night. I’ve spoken to her and she said she’s fine and I’ve read so much online about periods being all over the place to start with but the mum in me is starting to worry. I don’t want to over react and make this an awful experience for her.
The sensible part of me thinks it will probably settle down over the next 2 days like a normal period would but how long would you leave it before making a drs appointment? I’m ready to make an appointment now but don’t want to go against her wishes incase it makes her not want to tell me stuff in the future.
She’s absolutely fine in herself, has no pain at all. She’s a little bit irritable but that’s probably my fault to constantly asking how she is and if she needs anything.
Like I said sorry it’s a strange question but I don’t want to over react and at the same time I don’t want to ignore anything that could need looking into
