Are you having a LOT of digestive discomfort?

Question

I have entered my 6th week but for the last 2 weeks I have been having terrible digestive discomfort. Bloating, burping, flatulence, indigestion, bad gas pains, cramps, nausea and diarrhoea. The cramping/ gas pain has me so anxious! Is this normal? Should I see a doctor? I am not scheduled to see my doctor until I hit 8 weeks...

Answer

Girl I am with you. It’s SO bad! It’s natural for our digestive systems to slow down in early pregnancy and for us to experience all of these things. It’s no fun, but I don’t think it’s anything to worry about!

Answer

I bought some of this today and it has helped with my nausea and heartburn.   I typically just mix apple cider vinegar with water or apple juice for heartburn but this was a quick solution since we were out PLUS it has ginger for the nausea.

Answer

Why arnt you seeing anyone till 8 weeks ? I just found out I’m pregnant like they said very very high levels and maybe twins and they said from the ultra sound I look longer than what the original obgyn told me who was a biiii*** and told me to kill my baby. And then the hospital refused to tell me anything about my results form the ultra sound for 9 hours so I just left ... my we tried getting the info by phone and in person and they refused. Isn’t that illegal ? So now I’m waiting till I meet with my oB on Tuesday to request my results. I also have ten more appointments set up till next month.

Answer

I second that I don't know that there is anything to worry about (she says as she just took a tums). Hormones and growing humans do crazy things!
