Why is my belly firm and hard during my periods?!

Question: Why is my belly firm and hard during my periods.?

I started my periods Friday, and today, I've got bad belly ache, and I'm tired, and my belly is hard and firm.

It's abit of a wobbly jelly when i'm not on my periods.
So does anyone know what causes this hard belly.?

My friend called me a body builder because of it, LOL!

Thanks alot :)Health Question & Answer

Answers:

Probably because your uterus is contracting and cramping to move the blood flow out of your body. It could be causing tension against your other organs and making your stomach feel firmer. That the only thing I could think of! If you're pretty thin, I would imagine you could probably feel it. Or if you're just bloated.Health Question & Answer

It could be water retention, which some girls get around their stomachs or thighs around period time. It's nothing to worry about. Just make sure you stay hydrated (drink 1.2L of water a day) and avoid salt.

Or it may be womb contractions - your body is pushing out tissue.

It could be because you've started to retain water ready for your period.
