6 weeks and struggling 😔

Hi all, hope you're all well. Just hoping for some advice really. So I'm 6 weeks with baby#6 and I've never felt so ill from a pregnancy. I had a miscarriage back in july and didn't feel this bad. It started just over 2 weeks ago with constipation, bloating and being really gassy to the point I had pain so bad that I couldn't sit or stand from the pain in my back, stomach and chest. I have continued to be gassy and bloated but then had severe diarrhea. About a week ago I started to get the sore boobs and the nausea. Admittedly, I haven't actually been sick ( gagged a few times) but the sick feeling is there all day and all night and it wakes me up. Its worse when I lay down. If I try and eat/drink it's bad and if I don't its bad. I am beyond exhausted, and with trying to work and with having a chaotic home life and all these crazy hormones I was hoping for some tips or advice. I live in the UK.. Thanks for reading my moan 🙂

Hi I’m sorry you’re feeling so lousy. I’m 6 weeks too and have similar symptoms. I’d skip carbonated drinks or foods that cause gas (broccoli, beans). Although it’s uncomfortable, try walking and moving around every once in awhile if your stationary at work. Try mints or ginger candy for nausea. You can take Imodium if diarrhea is bad but try some plain white rice. Bland diet is best right now and lots of water!Hope this helps! 🙏🙏

I came here to say much the same as Mandy. I also realized this pregnancy was WAY worse than the first one for me really early. I have the exact symptoms and the exact timeline pretty much 😶 and it's not easy.I noticed my stomach upset was caused by acid that hadn't started causing heartburn- when I laid down it got even more worse and I was even more nauseous. So when I start feeling that way I chew on some antacids and feel SO much better.
