Perimenopause bloat

Hi all. Is is normal to get a seriously distended stomach bloat in perimenopause? I just started my period and it feels like I've gained 5 - 10 pounds just in my stomach. Thanks.

Hi Laura! Yes it's totally normal. It happens to me every month. It's because of all the water retention. Usually after my period it goes down.

Ok, good. It was starting to freak me out. I can feel it throughout my whole body and is so uncomfortable.
