Question

Normal symptoms for 6 weeks?

This is my first pregnancy & I'm just about 6 weeks! My first appointment isn't for a few weeks so my piece of mind that I'm on track is far away lol. Since I found out I've been pregnant weeks ago, I have diarrhea once every morning when I wake up. Morning sickness hit me 3 days ago and it's an all day affair. No actual throwing up (some dry heaves) but just plain feeling crummy all day. Terrible headaches, nausea, dizziness. It feels like a bad hangover to be honest! I've only been working half days at my family's business due to these symptoms and feeling tired ALL the time. I guess I just need someone to tell me this is all normal.. :) I just never knew it could make you have zero willpower and take over your life this early! I feel worthless laying around all the time & DH doing everything, but I have to remind myself there's a human being made lol

It's 110% normal, no worries. Sleep when u feel u need to and stay hydrated! If the nausea gets too bad, see ur Dr, they can give u a prescription that should help. Headaches, take Tylenol, and only Tylenol. Dizziness is normal, ur blood volume isn't equipt to handle pregnancy just yet. It will increase soon and the dizziness will go away. For now, make sure to stand up slowly and wait for a few seconds before walking, that way if it hits u hard enough that it causes u to faint, ur near something u can grab to slow ur fall.
Also look up "applied tension technique". It's mainly for ppl who faint at the sight of blood, but will apply in ur case. Practice and remember it, it will make a difference between u being slightly dizzy and making it to a chair, and u passing out right there.
Congrats! =))
