Hi moms! I'm in my early pregnancy and have been having some discomfort in my upper stomach area. Is it normal for your upper stomach to hurt a little in the initial weeks? Just wondering if anyone else experienced this.
It's mostly acidity or bloating because progesterone slows down your digestion. Don't worry, but stop eating heavy or oily foods, especially at night. If it doesn't get better with simple changes, just drop a message to your gynac.
Oh, I felt this exact same thing in my first trimester! I was so scared that something was wrong, but my doctor told me it was just terrible acidity. Keeping my meals very small and simple really helped me feel better.
I felt upper stomach pain early on, and it was mostly severe gas and acidity because of hormonal changes. Post my C-section, I realized how much digestion gets affected. Just eat light meals, but if the pain is severe, definitely ask your doctor.
Upper stomach pain is usually related to acid reflux, slow digestion, or bloating, which are very common in early weeks. Try having smaller meals and don't lie down immediately after eating. But if you have severe pain accompanied by vomiting or fever, please get checked by your gynac.
I have heard from my cousins that digestion changes a lot in early pregnancy, causing upper stomach discomfort. Please take care and try to eat simple, non-spicy ghar ka khana. If it hurts a lot, maybe consult your doctor once.
I am in my second trimester now, but even I had this upper stomach tightness and burning early on. I felt so anxious thinking it was something serious! Did anyone else also get this kind of burning sensation under the ribs?
