Here are some signs to look out for…
The body will do these before the first period happens:
- Changing shape + developing for a while.
- Daily or almost-every-day vaginal discharge .
- You might feel a little moody, crampy, or achy.
- Maybe a little bit moody.
Clues the next period is coming (…but not everyone has these):
- Cramps, especially below the belly button.
- Feel achy, especially in the lower back.
- Swelling, especially breasts (this can feel super tender!)
- Zits, especially on the face, chest, or back.
- Moodier than usual.
