hello dear, welcome to healthcare magic, The menses which come for the first time is called menarche. heavy menstruation is expected during this time, actually speaking the body takes time to adjust to the changes since there are many hormonal changes occuring during this period of puberty, so irregular menses, heavy bleeding or even scanty bleeding is all common, no need to worry it will become normal within few months.Do not interrupt.She might even bleed for 7 to 10 days, but dont worry, just give her a good iron rich diet like jaggery, green vegatables, non veg, since the Haemoglobin levels drop down and cause the weakness.Have a healthy day.thanks.
