Dr. Chheda – 🌸 Teenage girls and their moms are very, very concerned about periods. “When is my period coming? Is my period coming? Is my period every month?” It just makes them seem like they’re very regular if the period is gonna be coming every month.

It makes you feel like you’re on a good schedule, it makes you feel like your body is normal if you have a period every month. But do you really need a period every month? Not according to Mother Nature. According to Mother Nature, if you have a period, you essentially failed what Mother Nature wanted you to do, which was to get pregnant. Now I don’t want all my 12 year olds getting pregnant, for my 16 year olds you know wait – that’s how society is now.

But it is okay if you don’t have a period every month. It is okay to manage it so that you don’t have a period every month, and it’s perfectly fine for the body because that’s the way the body was set up.

Please talk to your pediatrician if you have more questions about periods. 🌸
