monkeygirl Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 A friend's granddaughter just got her first period. She just turned 9 years old! Is this normal these days? I was just about 12 and that was considered precocious at the time. Nine?? I feel so sorry for her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 It’s becoming more common. I’m so glad it hasn’t hit Lyra yet… 12 sounds about right to me, so end of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeygirl Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 How many babies is a female human supposed to have any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Don't go look at Ancestry. Before birth control, people were definitely having a lot of sex and having lots of babies. Then the wife would die in childbirth and the husband would need someone to feed his 8 kids, so he would go find another wife and make 5 more kids with her.

Darth Krawlie Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 yeah but a lot of those kids would die before turning 10, often as an infant--that's why the life expectancy was so low, not because people would die at 30, but because kids dying fucked up the curve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Spam Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Turns out having babies also helps the healing properties of Moms. A lot of health issues we have for us that chose not to have kids actually solve themselves through childbirth because the child gives back healing properties to the mother. Humans are freaks. Also yes, younger and younger for periods. It's all the unnatural food sources we eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
