Okay so that squishy, pushed-in feeling you're describing, especially after feeling bloated, sounds like it could be normal period-related stuff. Sometimes it's just your digestion acting up, or your uterus doing its thing.

Your uterus is literally a muscle, and it moves and does all sorts of contractions around your period. Sometimes it feels like pressure, or a dull ache, or even like things are shifting around in there. If you've been a little bloated, that can make any pressure feel more intense, like there's already stuff taking up space in your tummy. Eating really salty foods or certain kinds of veggies can make you feel bloated, so try to notice if there's a pattern with what you eat.

Most of the time, these weird feelings are totally normal and just part of your body doing its thing before or during your period. But if it starts to hurt a lot, or you feel really sick, or it just feels wrong, it's always a good idea to tell a trusted grown-up so they can help you figure it out.
