How To Deal

Bad Bloating

Check these out, too...

THE CAUSE

When you don’t get enough fluids, salt can stay in your body tissues and cause you to retain water. And those ever-pesky hormone levels can make the problem worse, so you may spend the days before your period feeling like a walking water balloon.

THE CURE

Cut down on salty foods, and drink lots of good ol’ H2O. Don’t worry—consuming water won’t make you retain even more. “If you drink more water, it helps you flush out that salt,” Dr. Larissa Hirsch, a medical expert for TeensHealth.org, says. Fiber can also help, um, move things along, so opt for high-fiber snacks like apples, oatmeal or nuts.

wat is bloating?

Bloating is usually when you have your period, your stomach will feel a little crampy and feel like it's sticking out more than normal. Bloating results from cramps.

*MOD*MOD*MOD when its right before that time of month for me like a week before i get really bad sleep. for example i would wake up multiple times during the night! is that normal?

Hey girl! Sounds pretty normal. Your body is getting ready to go through some changes at that time and may just be trying to get ready!

I'm on my first period and started on September 22nd....does this mean that it should come around the 22nd of next month? I can't go see a doctor, it's to crowded to even just make an appointment (last time they made me wait a month before we could finally get a checkup). Please answer! And thanks in advance!

Hey girl! You do usually get your period every month. You could talk to your mom or make an appointment with your doctor to ask questions.

Hey girl,

When you're bloated is feels like your tummy is sticking out more than normal and you might feel some pressure. It basically feels like gas. Feel better!

Period signs are different for everyone. Just because your not having discharge yet doesn't mean your not going through puberty or having other PMS warning. Don't worry about it girl!

Mod, I am 12 and I just got my period. I get major cramps and bloating, and I heard that heat can help. I also heard that your period can temporarily stop when you take a bath or go swimming. Are these true? I really need to know!

Yeah I got really bad cramps today, and I was bloating REALLy bad on wed. I was so bloated when I layed down, i feel aseep at like 6:00! But that was prob cuz of low energy tho too...
MOD MOD!!
Is it good to gain weight when you are bloated?? and also, I have really heavy discharge. I am too scared to ask my mom to buy me pantyliners though! And please don't say she went through it too, but I just want to know like when to bring it up in the convo??!!
Thanks!!

Hey babes,

When you're bloated your body is retaining water and you will temporarily gain weight. It's ok though, you loose it all after your period is done. With the liners you could maybe ask when you're out with her one day, say something like, oh I was wondering if there was any way we could stop into the drug store. I've been having some female stuff going on and I was wondering if we could get some liners to help out. I'm sure you're mom is aware its going on and won't have any problems helping you out.
