DF’s First Menses Experience.

On that faithful day,was washing their clothes(meaning my kids).Then saw blood stains on divine favour trouser nighties and I was shocked. Fear became the order of the day, was trembling as well.Many questions started popping up on my brain.

Firstly,I asked my self.was this mensuration? then I said it can’t be,because she is just ten years. How can a ten year be mensurating?Is this normal?or is she sick or something? These are the questions I kept asking myself while going through her nighties. Then one voice told me to call her first and ask her what’s going on.Which I eventually did but to my greatest surprise she didn’t even notice anything.As in she didn’t even know that there were blood stains on her nightwear.

Since she has taking her bath . I had no option but to ask her to check her underwear.which she did in my presence,lo and behold there were blood stains on her panty.She was in great shock,then she asked me was this menses or what?Meanwhile, she knows about mensuration because I have been lecturing her on what menses is all about.Then I said it might be, but she should allow me to contact few people I know to know if it’s normal because she’s too young.

Fortunately, I manage to get few of my friends through call that morning. Then I told them what I just saw and all them said is normal for her age.That is the only time my fear went down a little bit.She also told me that she had slight headache the previous night with stomach ache which she taught it might be from stress from school and stomachache from the night meal she took.

Then I went and brought out pad and started teaching her on how to place it on her pant.Taught her about changing it at least three times a day.I remember telling her that ,that is the most important time that she should be taking proper hygiene of herself to avoid contacting infections .That she should be bathing at least three times daily. Make sure to change and wash her undies frequently.

Lastly, we talked about the duration of the menses.The symptoms and how it’s usually appears.Then talked about the main thing.Sex and how to avoid men.Still teaching her on the sex stuff though.
