Is it normal to feel bloated before your period?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes—feeling bloated before your period is common. Hormone changes can cause your body to hold onto more fluid and can affect digestion.
Your hormones shift in the days before your period, which can lead to water retention, gas, or changes in digestion. It often eases once your period starts or shortly after, though everyone’s pattern is a little different.
If the bloating is severe, keeps happening outside your cycle, or doesn’t ease after your period, it’s worth checking in with a healthcare professional.
