dance audition on period....?

Question

i have a huge audition for dance on sunday the 9th and im 13 years old. i got my first period on july 9th, and every month it has come on either the 9th or 8th. the first two times i got pretty bad cramps, but the last times i barely felt anything. im scared it will come on the 9th this month for the audition, and have bad cramps. :( any advice? (when i had bad cramps before, i took many different types of medicine but they didnt really work)

Answer 1

Eating foods with calcium and magnesium will help reduce cramps. Eat cereals containing flaxseed which can be found in most grocery stores—just check the labels. Avoid fried foods such as potato chips and corn chips, as well as crackers, baked goods and anything containing hydrogenated oils (this includes most store-bought crackers and baked goods) because they increase PG2 (prostagladins) which increase cramps. For many women, eating more frequently helps lessen irritability and similar symptoms of low blood sugar. Other women who tend to retain fluids easily feel better with less sodium in their diet (<2000 mg/day). Some women find relief by reducing caffeine and alcohol intake. Regular exercise all month long decreases the intensity of menstrual symptoms. Frequent exercise also helps alleviate stress and decrease excess fluid retention. Basically, improving overall nutrition is sound advice. Be easy with yourself — it takes time to incorporate these changes into a permanent, consistent eating style. Hope this helps. :)
