Menarche Ceremony
Did you have a menarche (first period) ceremony? What was it like? Who was there? What gifts did you get? If you have a daughter, will you (or did you) give her a menarche ceremony?

A Celebration

Posted by: sheeb on Sat May 9, 2009

My mom is all about celebrating the natural...so when I got my first period, I felt save enough to tell her right away. I was about 13 and at home. I woke to go to the rest room and realized it had started. At that time, it was just my mom, little sister and I living together. I woke my mom to tell her. She cried a lot, of course, which made me cry, too! The next day, she invited my aunt and grandma out for dinner and we five ladies all celebrated my menarche. I was terribly embarrassed at the time, but now know how important it is to *not* be! If I have daughters, I'll do the same for them...but perhaps minus all the crying!
