It’s the new day I was bloated last night and I was bloated Sunday evening all day Monday and I stayed in bed the whole day then I was bloated yesterday night and today I have a firm tummy

Okay so feeling bloated and like your tummy is firm is super common, especially around your period or ovulation. It's totally normal and like, almost everyone gets it sometimes.

What it feels like

When you're bloated, it basically means your body is holding onto more water and sometimes gas, which makes your tummy feel full, tight, or even hard. It can be a little uncomfortable, but usually, it's not a big deal. For some people, it happens a few days before their period starts, and for others, it's during their period or even when their body is getting ready to ovulate (which is when your body releases an egg, usually around the middle of your cycle).

What to do about it

There are a few things that can help you feel a bit better when you're bloated:

• Drink water: I know, it sounds weird, but drinking lots of water actually helps your body release the extra water it's holding onto.
• Move your body: Even a little walk can get things moving and help with gas and bloating.
• Eat smart: Foods with lots of salt can make bloating worse, so maybe try to go easy on those for a bit. Also, some people find that eating smaller meals more often helps.
• Relax: Stress can mess with your digestion, so try to chill out if you can!

If the bloating is super uncomfortable, or if you're worried about it, it's always a good idea to chat with a trusted grown-up or even a doctor. They can help you figure out what's going on and if there's anything else you can do.
