5 weeks and feeling awful!

Hi all Smile new here so go easy!
I found out on Tuesday that I was pregnant, myself and doc have figured it out that I'm about 5 weeks.
I only found out because I've been ill for what feels like forever but is in fact about a week with sickness & diarrhoea (sorry tmi!). Doc reckons diarrhoea is a bug which should go quickly (but hasn't).
Doctor has prescribed me cyclizine already, which has stopped me being sick, but the diarrhoea is still giving me a heck of a lot of grief.
I'm eating toast and drinking weak squash that's all the doc has told me to do and that's all I've been having since Thursday (3rd day).
I feel so miserable :( what can I do?!

I had diarrhoea from 3-7 weeks and still being sick at 10 weeks despite 3 types of antisickness meds.

I hope yours eases up soon and go back to the gp if you need any help.

I found out Tuesday too and I'm six weeks tomorrow. :)

Cyclazine can cause stomach upsets as a side effect. Which might contributing (I've been a bit "loose" since I started on it on Thursday). If your stomach upset doesn't clear up, go back to the GP.
