Teen2TeenHelp answered Thursday December 13 2012, 11:11 pm: yes it is absolutely normal to bleed while taking a shower. and in clots to it is normal. Your body isn't just letting go of blood. That thick gooey stuff u see leaving your body is what lines your uterus when your body is ready to become pregnant. It's what a fertilized egg uses for nutrients to grow. That lining is what is shed, along with the unfertilized egg your body made, which is why its not only liquid and very thick. I wouldn't soak in a tub on my period. You have 3/4 weeks to enjoy all that bath time. You dont want to risk the blood and lining leaking in the water. At that point, you might just feel grossed out. But if you wear a tampon, you will be able to hold it in. I don't wear tampons so i cant assist you on whether or not it really works. but many people swim with a tampon so im sure that's okay but as for showering and cleansing yourself, i wouldn't recommend a bath but a good shower. wahtever wants to fall out, let it fall..
