Hi Wildwoman,
At 5 weeks, you shouldn't be experiencing any pain. It's possible to experience bloating, light cramping, uncomfortableness. The pain in your side could be gas pains. It sounds like gas pains when you combine the bloating with the side pain. If the pain increases and/or gets worse, you should see your doctor to make sure all is well.
I hope this helps, if you have any further questions, feel free to ask, it costs nothing to click reply. If this has helped, please remember to click the green accept button.
