8weeks pregnant and weird feeling in upper stomach

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and have a constant ‘strange’ feeling in my upper stomach just underneath the middle of my breasts. It doesn’t hurt but just feels like a dull sensation that is always there. I have also previously been vomiting and had severe nausea but recently got anti sickness meds and they are helping so I don’t think the two are related. Has anyone experienced this so early on in their pregnancy too?

Sounds like indigestion? I have that flat out - doc advised gaviscon

Your digestive symptoms slows right down, and your actual stomach is higher up than most people think. Could also be organs shifting about to make way for your uterus - it’s still only small at eight weeks but your body isn’t used to things changing places at all.

I was just so uncomfortable in the first trimester whenever I ate anything. The effect on your digestion is understated.

Yeah it went after a week or so , so wasn’t anything to worry about but thank you! Still just suffering from bad nausea & vomiting… roll on 2nd trimester 🤞🏼
