Hi, I am 6 weeks+ and for the last few days have been feeling a sort of pressure/discomfort from right about where the diaphragm to 2/3 inches above my navel (one can mimic this feeling by pushing on this area). It is central (not more on one side or the other). It is not painful, but uncomfortable. I do not think it's heartburn, as I have no discomfort whatsoever in my esophagus. Is this part of the nausea package?

Is anyone else out there experiencing this? Any insight? Any way to relieve it? Thanks!

I have no idea what that is but I've had it before also. The only thing that seemed to help was mylanta which is ok while pregnant. I swore up and down it couldn't of been gas or indigestion but maybe it was because the mylanta did work after about 10 minutes. If it seems to be a dull ache below your ribs you may have an ulcer. If some milk or mylanta doesn't seem to work and it happens often I'd mention it to your doctor.
