I had not thought of getting a pad last night. I’m still in my pajamas. I have not checked if I bled yet and I’m having a light period. I know I didn’t bleed through but I feel like checking. And then I feel like eating a bagel!? I do. What’s going on!?

Okay, so it sounds like you're just waking up and remembering it's a period day, which totally happens. And the bagel part? That's just your body telling you it's hungry and wants some energy. Totally normal, especially when you have your period!

When you're on your period, your body is doing a lot of work. Seriously. And that can make you feel more tired or just generally need more fuel. So feeling like you need to eat something yummy and filling, like a bagel, is super normal. Your body is just asking for what it needs.

And about the pad part, it's a good idea to check and see what's going on, even if it's a light flow. Sometimes what feels light can be a bit more, or you might just want the peace of mind. Getting your pad ready and then grabbing that bagel sounds like a great plan for starting your day. You got this!
