Dr. Deborah Metzger answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Breast development: The first period usually occurs sometime between the ages of 10 and 13. For a year or two before the first period, your daughter will notice the growth of pubic and underarm hair and the development of breasts. It is also a time when growth spurts are common.
