My daughter started hers at 9/10ish but I didn't notice any change in that side of things.
Just keep an eye to her and have something in the house just in case.

Hi sunflower, I have boys rather than girls, my eldest is 7 and a half and is a bright boy, but I am sure that at his age (if he was a girl!) he would have no comprehension of why his body was changing no matter how much i explained it to him. At eight, he won't be even walking to school on his own never mind dealing with the ability to procreate!
A colleague was saying that her daughter who will be 9 in February was complaining of cramps and she wondered if that was the start of puberty and we all said no way, but looks like she could be right.

my daughter started getting a bit pong whiffey around this age and i thought like you ,,, here we go
however she was nearly 12 before she had her first period although she was 5'7" and 9 stone and 34b boobs.
puberty can take years before the peiods start - normally the screaming back at you and sobbing for no reason is more of a sign that her periods are about to start
the joy of kids eh.!

My daughter has had monthly mood swings and strong BO which lasts for about 5 days each month since she was 4-5 yrs old. I have contacted doctors and specialists as I was concerned she was going into precocious puberty and they are keeping an eye on her. She is now 8 almost 9 now and she has developed a little underarm hair too - I have explained in extremely simply terms with very little detail about periods just in case it happens so that she is not shocked or scared. She is now excited at becoming a young lady, but I don't think she has to grow up just yet either, in fact we went out at the weekend and she bought a new doll with her Christmas money.
My daughter turned 8 years in Feb this year and, rather worryingly, has already started to grow hair under her arms! It seems so young and I'm hoping this doesn't mean she will start her periods soon. She has always had really hairy legs and I always wondered if this was a sign that she was going to develop early.
