Rose Mellie Rose Part II

"This is the first time I have been pregnant. It is much more important than the first time I had my period."

This post reminded me of the beginning of the book when she first got her period when she was 12. At first this quote seemed dumb to me and extremely obvious, but then I remembered how she had to deal with a death when this happened. It was a hard time for her, she had to leave behind everything she knew. However, even with that said, I am wondering if that was the point of this quote. Maybe it has a deeper meaning as I suspect, but as I re-read the passage I'm wondering if she is just too young to understand the meaning of pregnancy.
