Okay, is there any signs that my first period is coming the same day / few hours away?

Okay so literally no one can tell exactly what day or hour their period will start. It's just not how our bodies work, which is kind of annoying sometimes! But there are definitely some signs that it's getting super close, like within a few days.

The biggest sign is usually discharge. You know, that white or yellowish stuff you might see in your underwear? That usually starts showing up a few months before your period, but sometimes it can get a little heavier or change texture right before your period actually starts. It might be clear and stretchy, kind of like egg whites. Also, you might start feeling a little crampy, like a dull ache in your lower belly, or some back pain. Your boobs might also feel kind of sore or tender.

Also, your mood can get a little wild right before your period. One minute you're fine, the next you're crying over literally nothing. Totally normal, just your hormones doing their thing. And some people get a little bloated, so their stomach feels puffy. So while you can't get a countdown, these signs usually mean it's almost time!
