Today, my 13-year-old sister told me that she wants to get pregnant soon to stop her periods for a while. I can't believe we're related. FML

blemarooney tells us more.

Hey guys OP here. I'm a little late on the follow up but here it is anyway. I obviously complained to my mum who sat her down and told her how painful her pregnancies had been. My sister seemed adequately scared. My sister now insists that she had just been kidding but I know for a fact that she wasn't. And finally I assure you guys if she ever brings a guy home to 'stop her periods' I will personally get rid of him.

Did you explain to her that being pregnant and going through labor is 100x worse than getting a period? And the fact that raising a child isn't exactly a piece of cake either?

No thirteen year old kid should be thinking about getting pregnant

I'm not going to hate. I'm a guy and there's no way I could handle having a period. Pads, Tampons, spotting. Surprise visits. Pass.

Show her a childbirth video. That will change her mind real quick.

She probably doesn't realize that after the birth of a baby you get a super-period that lasts up to 6 weeks. That's probably 100 times heavier than her current one. Also accompanied by weight gain, hormone imbalance, the need for a new wardrobe of maternity clothes, and oh yeah: a baby.

Definetly sound like she doesnt know about the Pill and its effects. She either doesnt tell your parents that her Period is annoying or they dont respond well or at all to her complaining. You or better your parents should teach her about that stuff and it seems they have missed out on that. take her to a gynocolist and get her a light pill to ease her period and pms and stuff or one you can take for months removing the period all together.

Haha a child is like a period that costs a lot more and lasts consistently for 18 years.

Funny because you can have a period while pregnant. my mom did for three months

As a teen I had nasty, painful periods too, and everybody just told me to suck it up and that childbirth is way worse. All that when I was basically curled up in bed (or on a bench when the cramps started when I was out). I even puked out of pain several times. Then I developed an enometrioses cyst and thus had a diagnose and got better pain meds and my OB/Gyn told me that, on a positive note, childbirth was going to be a breeze for me. At some point I found out about menstrual cups and using those made the pain better too. I have since had too kids, and both times I made it to the hospital with less than an hour to spare because I thought productive labour was supposed hurt. I've had way worse periods than that. Bottom line: get your sister checked out for endometriosis and get her proper pain meds to get through the worst days.

Have your mom get her checked for cyst and put on birth control if it's that painful.
