At her age, which means happening contraception.

Anyway, in lighter information, Kristina sat down with Gary.
Not solely did she inform him that the appointment went properly, however she confirmed that Leah was okay with on-camera discussions.
Having established that, Kristina then advised Gary that the physician was going forward with contraception for Leah. Leah is 14, and it is a great way to assist scale back her period-related struggling.

She remembers instances “after I was laying on the ground cramping and dying at that age.”
