Brief Answer:
Common in pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic. Congratulations for the start of a new chapter of life. This slight pain and vomitting sensation is normal and common in pregnancy especially in early months.
In case pain is bothersome take tablet drotin or hyosimax but in case it gets severe or there is no response to tablets visit your gynecologist for examination.
In general take light, simple food and take small quantities at frequent intervals.
Take Care.
Regards
Dr Manisha

Brief Answer:
Not very safe to take it

Detailed Answer:
Meftal spas is not considered safe in pregnancy as at times it can cause relaxation of cervical os.
Its ok to take it like once in while like once a month or so but since pain abdomen is quite common in early pregnancy so take drotin or hyosimax tablets in case of need.

Brief Answer:
Ultrasound advised

Detailed Answer:
Please get bHCG levels today and after 48 hours again.
I want to see the pattern of rise of bHCG levels.
Till then take tablet tramadol and hyosimax and see if it gets relieved.
In case still pain persists then I'm afraid you will have to get a transvaginal Ultrasound to rule out tubal ectopic pregnancy.
Also apply a heat pad 3-4 times a day on the affected area.

Brief Answer:
Reports normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, I have seen the attached reports and glad you have an intrauterine pregnancy with a regular sac so nothing to worry from that side.
For pain nothing active needs to be done except rest and the medicines prescribed so far.
Hot fomentation will also help.
Avoid heavy work like lifting a bucket of water or a pile of clothes and avoid intercourse too.
Take care.
