Upset stomach week 5 only?

Hi ladies, I'm only in week 5, I've read loads online about early symptoms. I've read that bloating is common, and I am getting bloating, but I'm also getting just really uncomfortable twinges all over, and a mix of constipation/diarrhea, I feel like I've caught a stomach bug tbh! Also getting heartburn and nausea. No vomiting yet though thankfully.
I wouldn't say it's painful just a really uncomfortable feeling.
I've had this for over a week.. Has anyone else had this and what worked for you? I've been sipping peppermint tea.
I have had an increased appetite and have been eating anything & everything which probably hasn't helped !

I had an upset tummy a few times and loads of cramps at the beginning x

This happened to me in one of my pregnancies. I went to the doctor as I was worried and they signed me off for two days to rest.

I had this around the same time too. I'm 10 weeks 4 days now 😊

I almost posted the exact same thing!! I am 5 weeks too and I have the same :(

From 4+3 until now at 9+3 I’ve either had constipation or diarrhoea. On top of being sick, bloated beyond belief and exhausted. First trimester is a joy 😂

all sounds normal OP!

Sounds normal op, exactly what I had with both my pregnancies.

I had this last night, the worse I have ever felt so much so I was tempted to call the doctors but feeling back to my usual Pukey self today. I think the surge in hormones can cause it and when it comes it comes with a vengeance lol

Thanks for your responses! Relieved to hear other people are in the same boat!
