Hi,

Ladies....a quick question..

I notice when i get my period and the 1-2 weeks before it arrives my tummy and boobs swell-which i know is normal...however i have also noticed that my bum and legs seem a bit bigger and then after i get my period everything goes back to normal.

Is it normal for legs and bum to bloat out aswell?

I measure my legs and there is hardly a difference in measurent before and after but visually i can see a difference.

Thanks

Sounds like you are retaining water. Talk with a doctor.
