HI, I'm 14, and I started my period aroun January/February this year, they have started to get very heavy, and they are now starting to get stomach pains. I'm not sure if this is normal, I'm also having to wear night time (VERY thick ones) during the day, but I have to change is every hour, or 2 – 3 hours, I'm not sure if this is normal either. I get very self concious, and I'm always very scared that people will see that I'm on if I leak to the pad shows up, I find it very embarrasing to talk about. And I can feel my period when I stand up from sitting down and sometimes when I walk, any advice? Thank you
