my daughter is 10 years old and she has recently started to get stomach cramps. She described them as feeling as if she had to have a bowel movement, but she didn't actually have to go. She had to change her underwear 3 times last night because she said they felt wet, like she had peed just a bit, but she hadn't. The wet spot was about the size of a dime or quarter. Is she having discharge or is this maybe a urinary problem I need to have checked out? I am new to this and I want to make her comfortable talking about her body issues. Any help would be great.

Younger and younger girls are reaching puberty and having a period. Which is one of the many reasos why girls as young as 12 are ending up pregnant. It would be beneficial to discuss 'womanly' issues with her, and explain sex, and that it causes pregnancy unless a woman uses protection or takes birth control pills.

I dont think ten is too young at all. I was nine when I first started to develop. though maybe you should get her checked out especially if she is having cramps.
