bellyaches
Whines and moans
Bellyaches are stomach pains, typically minor or vague discomfort rather than sharp pain: The kids complained of bellyaches after eating too much candy.
As a verb, to bellyache is to complain persistently about trivial matters—whining that's as tiresome as listening to someone gripe about a stomachache: Stop bellyaching and get to work.
