Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the pain above the stomach might be due to gastritis.
Take bland and healthy nutritional food.Avoid spicy and oily diet.
Take meal three times and 2 snacks per day.
Take fluids upto 3 litres per day and fruit juice daily.
Not perceiving the taste and not feeling to eat are also complained by a few people in pregnancy.
But inspite of that you need to take the required quantity of food daily.
The symptoms of pregnancy like nausea,vomiting,increased urination,sore breasts start around 6 weeks of pregnancy.
As you are 5 weeks you might feel them in near future.
Dont worry.Symptoms are not always the index of well being of pregnancy.
Take healthy nutritional diet.Avoid.physical strain and intercourse.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
