Pain on your right side level with your belly button is not the usual spot for a period cramp, so tell a grown-up about it now.
Period cramps happen lower down, usually right across your lower tummy below your belly button or into your lower back, because that is where your uterus sits. When the pain is higher up or off to one side by your belly button, it can have lots of causes, and some of them need a doctor to check.
Tell a grown-up straight away if you're being sick, can't eat, have a fever, the pain is on one side (especially low on the right) or keeps getting worse, or you have tummy pain and feel sick without a period.
Even if you feel okay otherwise, pain on one side of your belly is one to tell a grown-up about straight away, so they can decide whether a doctor should check it today, especially if it doesn't go away, gets worse, or moves lower down on the right.
