Girls’ bodies increase in size and shape during puberty. Their hips become more rounded and they get a more defined waist. The vulva, vagina and nipples get bigger and the breasts begin to develop, sometimes unevenly.
Other changes include pubic hair appearing and a vaginal discharge - an increase in the mucous produced in the vagina.
Girls also start menstruating or having their period during this time.
