12 weeks stomach pain??

Hi. I'm 12 weeks pregnant and all weekend I've had various stomach pains. Some of it is high up and I think related to constipation and bloating. I look 6 months pregnant and my stomach feels tender and swollen. I'm eating but in small amounts. Would people recommend gaviscon or Rennie to help? Or is there something I can take for the bloating?
However more worryingly, when I stand up or walk I feel this uncomfortable pressure lower down in my uterus. It's not quite cramp, more a heavy feeling that radiates downwards and through my pelvic floor with some shooting pains/twinges. I went for a short walk on Saturday and had to keep stopping and resting because it was so painful. Is this just growing pains or something else? When I'm lying down it's much better so I've pretty much been on the sofa all day today. It's my first pregnancy so I have no idea what's happening to my body. No sign of bleeding so far. My scan is on Wednesday so should I just wait until then or phone EPU tomorrow? I don't want to make a fuss if it's just trapped wind!
