It's impossible to know the exact day your 12-year-old will get her first period, but watching for certain signs can help you prepare. Most adolescents get their first period between the ages of 12 and 13.
Here's what to look for:
- Growth Spurt: A noticeable increase in height.
- Breast Growth: Development of breast buds.
- Vaginal Discharge: An increase in clear or whitish fluid from the vagina.
These signs indicate that her body is likely preparing for menstruation.
