🌟 You’re Changing All Around: A Guide to Your First Period 🌟

Hey there, amazing girl! 💕

You’ve probably noticed some changes happening with your body lately. Your hair might be shinier, your height might be shooting up, and you might even feel a little different inside. Guess what? This is all a normal part of growing up! And for many girls, these changes come with something called your first period.

Periods can feel like a lot when you’re just starting out, but trust us—it’s nothing you can’t handle! Whether you’re waiting for your first period or you’ve already joined the club, My Very First is here to make sure you’re confident, prepared, and ready for anything. 

💖 Your Body is Growing Up

Your first period is a big sign that your body is maturing. It’s part of a process called puberty, which means your body is preparing to do incredible things in the future! Here are some other changes you might notice:

• Breasts developing 🩷
• Hips getting curvier 🌟
• Hair growing in new places, like under your arms or around your legs ✨
• Discharge in your underwear, which is your body’s way of staying clean and healthy

These changes mean your body is working hard to grow into the beautiful, unique person you’re becoming.

🌼 Tips for Your First Period

Getting your period for the first time can feel like a big deal, but with a little preparation, you’ll feel confident and ready!

1️⃣Know Your Cycle 

Pro tip: The average cycle is about 28 days, but everyone is different. Take your time getting to know your rhythm. 

2️⃣Pack a Period Survival Kit 🩷

Never be caught off guard! Keep a small, discreet bag (like the one in our My Very First kit ) with essentials like pads, tampons, or liners, along with some wipes and an extra pair of undies. Toss it in your backpack, purse, or locker—it’s your little superpower on the go!

3️⃣Be Kind to Yourself 

Feeling tired, bloated, or cranky? It’s totally normal! Use this time to be extra kind to yourself:
• Cozy up with a blanket and your favorite show 
• Sip on warm tea 
• Take deep breaths to relax.

Remember, your body is amazing, and it’s okay to rest when you need to! 

4️⃣💪 You’re Not Alone

Every woman in the world has gone through this, and it’s a beautiful, normal part of life. Your period is a sign that your body is healthy and growing stronger every day.

Remember, it’s okay to have questions or even feel a little overwhelmed. You’re learning something new about yourself, and that’s something to celebrate! 🎉

💌 Final Thoughts

You’re changing all around, inside and out, and it’s all part of growing into the amazing person you’re meant to be. Embrace the changes, take care of yourself, and don’t forget—you’ve got a whole community of people cheering you on. You’re incredible, just as you are. 🌈💖
