How old was ur dd when they got af?

[Inertia]

Ang only got hers a couple of months ago - so 12.. but.

We have the WiiFit. I can check her weight for that time - which was 48.7kgs. As the study said.

I didn't get mine until I was 15... this was only 6 years ago!

DD got hers at 14 1/2 which was a year later than me, she is very fit and fairly slim but I can't remember how much she weighed at the time. poor thing got it first at my baby shower with DS! At least she had lots of sympathetic "aunties" around .

I got mine at 10 1/2, but I'd been having pain for a couple of months before hand. Strangely enough, at the time I recognized the pain as period pain, and Mum had explained everything to me, but when it came (on school holidays while we were at AQWA) I suddenly felt VERY embarrassed about it all. I ignored it that day, and then the next day went to wash my sheets because, of course, I'd bled all over them. Mum was suspicious and so I had to tell her AF had come - hahaha, she was almost crying because 'her first girl is growing up'

Just thought I'd share my story, because it didn't matter that I already knew what was coming, I still went into a bit of denial and didn't tell mum straight away - remember how scary it was when AF first came?!

Thank you all so much for sharing your stories.

So i am thinking then i have at least another yr or so before hubby needs to panic that his baby girl is becoming a women.

I had a girl in my class get them in yr 4 poor darling, but she was quite tall and well developed.

hmmm i can't believe that about the weight thing, although it does make sense kind of.... i was 12 when i got mine which i thought was fairly early, but i was a tiny gymnast so can't see the weight thing being the reason...

my cousin's daughter got her's a few years ago at 8.

Can't say for DD obviously but i got mine just before i turned 11. I knew about it but when i first got i honestly had no idea what was happening because it was different to what i had imagined.
