5/6 weeks pregnant. Getting awful discomfort/pain right up underneath diaphragm. Dates wrong, or massive womb??

What do you think. It's unlikely my womb is that large at 5/6 weeks. Although I am nowhere certain of my dates.
But this is just how I remember feeling with my other two pregnancies, but much later on.
Like something is swollen inside and pushing up underneath the edge of my breast bone/under my diaphragm.
Had it a few days now and it's not just wind... It's a far heavier feeling.
Any ideas?

Your womb is still in your pelvis so unlikely to be a massive womb!

Sounds like heartburn to me!

As Catnip said, your womb is definitely still in your pelvis, not under your ribs yet!

Indigestion perhaps. I'm 22wks and my womb is only just above my naval so definetly not your womb.

Nope. Definitely not Indigestion.
I just wondered if I'd got my dates wildly wrong and maybe nearer 16 weeks whether that might be an option.
Think ill have to see a doctor because its just like fingers poking me hard in the diaphragm under my ribs.
Perhaps not pregnancy related...?

Your uterus will still be way below even at 16 weeks. Best see gp
