Hello,

The description of your pain sounds like it is coming from the gastrointestinal system.
Sometimes, the pressure of the pregnant uterus can cause pressure against the stomach and cause symptoms of gastritis (stomach inflammation) or gastric reflux (stomach contents going back into the foodpipe in the lower chest).

Are the symptoms worse or better when you have eaten a big meal? What things have you noticed that make the pain better or worse?

Answers to these questions may help me further understand your problem.

Hope to hear from you soon.
