Okay soooo I'm a tween and I started my period four days ago. The first day was pretty calm and the night too, but the next day and night was really heavy. Then the day after was super heavy but the night was light. Now today it's been really heavy and I've gone through one pair of underwear and two pads in 6 hours. Also the heavy periods smell really really fishy. My family doesn't know I'm on my period. Question 1# Is my strange cycle normal? Question 2# How do I tell my mum? Also I have been getting little balls of blood, idk if that's normal. Please help ASAP

Why wouldn't you tell your mum? It's not your fault, you did nothing wrong. She should be able to help you with the problems you are experiencing, it IS her job as a mother. When you first begin having periods almost anything is normal. Maybe you should be using tampons to help prevent the mess in your underwear. They also make panty shields to help protect your panties.

By all means talk to your mum. How about "hey ma, I got my period, help me".
