Fluid Retention: Due to fluid retention. It is a common occurrence by most women and that can cause bloating. The most common cause of this is due to hormonal changes due to increase in estrogen which starts in premenstrual phase and excessive during menstrual phase and then in luteal stage estrogen goes down and Progesterone increases causing this. Another cause is dehydration which causes body to retain water.
