During the first trimester you may experience swollen breasts, tiredness (fatigue), nausea and vomiting (morning sickness), backaches, mood swings and frequent urination. Most pregnant women have monthly prenatal visits with their health care provider until the end of this trimester.

During this trimester, your fetus will start to look more like a child — with their facial features aligning, and their fingers and toes becoming well-defined. By month four, your fetus will actually have eyelids, eyebrows, eyelashes, nails and hair.

During the third trimester, your fetus continues to grow in size and weight. The lungs are still maturing, and the fetus begins to position itself head down. By the end of the third trimester, the fetus is about 19 to 21 inches long and weighs, on average, 6 to 9 pounds.

Would it be okay to call the school and fill in for absence because of a particularly bad period cycle. I got too sick for school because I started my period early and it made me very sick before I was able to go to school

If you get your period, you may experience mild cramps on the first day or two, but you shouldn’t be forced to miss work, school, or social events because of it. Please talk with a trusted adult, could be family, teacher, or coach if you need to make them aware of any pain before an activity you participate in.

You may find it helpful to use different products over the course of your period, with more absorbent tampons or pads being used on heavier flow days, and smaller tampons or pantiliners on low flow days. Each woman has her own preferences and whatever works best for your body is just fine!

There is no way to predict exactly when you will get your first period, and there is nothing you can do to make it start, except wait. If you are worried about your first period, talk to your family doctor.

There is nothing in particular you need to do to prepare for your first period, besides having feminine hygiene products at hand. If you happen to get your period with no access to menstrual products, toilet paper will work in an emergency. If you get your first period at school, your teacher or school nurse will have a pantiliner or pad on hand.

Why (keep in mind its people who refuse to do so when they are aware of the correct terms) do people still call people who identify as male that are attracted to other people who are male, gay (which is the correct term) but its so common for them to refuse to call two people who identify as female, gay? (which is not the correct term) lesbian is when two people who identify as females are attracted too eachother. I find it offensive to call (people who identify as) females, who are lesbian, gay because that's like (I'm saying "like" but i believe it =is=)calling them gay males.

The terms gay as an adjective and gay persons as a noun have been used to refer to both males and females. However, these terms may be confusing in reference because readers who are used to the term lesbian and gay may assume that gay refers to men only. Thus, it is preferable to use gay or gay persons only when talking about males. Everyone is different, please respect the identification a person prefers, also respect the fact that it can change!

Even though it might feel scary, talking with a trusted adult can really help. They can talk through your options with you, and make sure you get the health care you need. We will be going over a lesson on pregnancy and explaining how a woman "knows she is pregnant."

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. Although it's uncommon, it's possible for a woman who hasn't yet had her period to become pregnant. That's because young women ovulate — release eggs from their ovaries — before they have their first period.

Menstruation, or period, is normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a woman's monthly cycle. Every month, your body prepares for pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, the uterus, or womb, sheds its lining. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from inside the uterus. It passes out of the body through the vagina.

Periods usually start between age 11 and 14 and continue until menopause at about age 51. They usually last from three to five days. Besides bleeding from the vagina, you may have:

Abdominal or pelvic cramping pain

Lower back pain

Bloating and sore breasts

Food cravings

Mood swings and irritability

Headache and fatigue
