[quote=Anonymous]DD will be 10 in November.  She has mentioned recently that she thinks she will be getting her first period soon, and (TMI) last night she had what appeared to be very light discharge with one very faint tinge of possible blood.  She was almost 8 when she got her first pubic hairs and she now has a good amount of pubic hair, very minor breast buds, and appears to be developing blemishes, too (hard to tell whether this is cold sores or other breakouts from allergies).  She's in 4th grade and while this seems to be awfully young for her first period, I think she's on the verge of starting.

Are there any other signs/experiences that any of you have seen in your DD's?  I have read some of the forums here already but looking for any more advice people might have.  She's a competitive gymnast and diver, so she will probably need to start using tampons sooner than later -- but I would appreciate hearing from moms  of gymnasts especially (I can't imagine a panti liner in a leo; I also can't imagine her using tampons at this age....)

Thanks in advance.  I was almost 16 when I got my period as was my mom as was her mom (maybe this early menarche is DH's side?) so by the time I'd started I was almost over-prepared (and certainly wasn't the first girl in my class to start, which I'm inferring will be DD's case....)[/quote]
