Is it normal to gain up to 5lbs a few days BEFORE your period starts?

Question

I’m a person who watches over their weight a lot.. so seeing that I’ve gained up to 5lbs in a few days has me scared 😱 I’ve never noticed gaining weight before my period even starting ( during PMS) then again I do feel bloated and Im kinda  constipated :( so maybe it’s that ?

Answer

My weight varies anywhere from 3-10 lbs slightly before, during and up to a week after my cycle begins. Sometimes the foods I eat will effect water retention. Sometimes it's from constipation. It just depends each time. So yes it's normal.

Answer

I honestly never heard of that so I put no but I guess it’s normal since there’s so many “yes”.
