IS YOUR PERIOD NORMAL? 🩸

Honestly, so many of us just endure our periods every month and think “this is just how it is.” No babe, it is not.

Your body is always talking to you. The question is, are you listening?
Let me break something down for you today.

Soaking through more than one pad every 1 to 2 hours is not normal at all. That is too much blood leaving your body and it needs to be investigated.

If your period is lasting more than 7 days, please take note. A normal period should be done between 3 to 7 days. Anything beyond that is your body crying for help.

Missing your period when you are not pregnant is also a red flag. It could be stress, it could be hormones, it could be something else entirely. But it should not be ignored.

Cramps that make you unable to get out of bed or go to work are not normal period pains. Real talk, some pain is expected but it should not be ruining your day.

If you are seeing big dark clots coming out during your period, please see a doctor. Small clots can be okay but large ones are a warning sign.

Bleeding in between your periods is not your period coming early. Something is happening that needs attention.

If your period suddenly becomes very light after always being normal, your hormones are shifting and you need to find out why.

Lastly, your period blood should not smell foul. A little smell is normal but a bad offensive odour could mean there is an infection.

Please do not just manage any of these and move on. You deserve to understand your own body. Share this with someone you care about today.
