Tater asked
I am on the car and since dinner my tummy has been hurting

Oh no, a tummy ache in the car is literally the worst. Your tummy can hurt for so many reasons, especially if you're close to your period or even on it.
Sometimes tummy aches are just from something you ate, or maybe you're a little stressed or tired. But if it happens a lot around the same time each month, it could be period cramps! Like, sometimes they feel like a dull ache, or sometimes they're sharp, and they can totally happen before or during your period. Hormones are wild, you know?
For now, try to relax, maybe listen to some music or a podcast if you can. If you have some water, take sips of that. When you get home, a heating pad or a warm bath can sometimes help with a crampy tummy. And definitely tell a grown-up how you're feeling, especially if it keeps hurting a lot or happens often. They can help you figure out what's up.
