Indigestion

[mermaid]

I keep getting a stitch in my side and feel really uncomfortable all over my stomach and back. I didn't realise the indigestion started so early. Does anybody else have this already?

Hi Mermaid

I get really bad indigestion (and wind if it's not too much information) from about 6 weeks. It comes and goes and is worse after a heavy meal. I keep getting "pulling" pains as well in my sides (I'm 9 weeks tomorrow), but MW told me last week that in weeks 9-12 your uterus starts to "move upright" which is why you get those funny sensations.

Makes me laugh - I read "your uterus is now the size of an orange".....what size is it normally then????

My friend told me that if you have heartburn or indigestion you can use Gaviscon but I suppose it's best to check before taking anythinig.

Good luck xx

Hi,

Yeah I also read about the orange in a magazine! Funny isn't it?

My doctor said Gaviscon is fine, I already had bad acid reflux before I became pg so hope it doesn't get too bad!

I have also had lots of indegestion (and wind)...ever since I found out at 4 weeks! I also feel very bloated...and look it! I've had the stitch in my side quite a lot too! God, what haven't I had? lol

Another thing, I seem to be pulling a lot of muscles in my stomach at the moment...when I laugh, when I move suddenly....It's wierd! Has anyone else experienced an increase in pulled stomach muscles?

I certainly feel a sharp pull when I stretch over to one side or turn over in bed too sharply, especially if trying to reach something!!! Luckily it feels ok again with a few minutes!

I spose with all these hormones relaxing our muscles, it is going to be a daily hazard for now

Yes I sneezed the other day and pulled a stomach muscle! I get worried at everything too!

i've been getting these stitch like dragging pains in right side of stomach, apparetly its stretching pains and your abdomen is preparing for the baby, placenta forming etc, perfectly normal, no need to be concerned unless you are in severe pain, then get it checked out.

I have also had loads of wind since my BFP!! and diarrhoea in the mornings, on two mornings now, just 1 episode then its gone anyone else? i have had spicy food both nights though, might need to tone down the spices a bit!!
