6 weeks pregnant and really unwell

Hi Ladies, some advice would be much appreciated today, I'm 6 weeks pregnant with baby number 4 and I feel so so sick 24/7 just not actually been sick, my whole body aches and I'm freezing cold all the time and exhausted beyond belief, I only had the sickness before with my daughter but wasn't this severe. Has anyone got any tips on how they managed these symptoms before, any ideas would be amazing I'll try anything right now.
Thank you in advance 😘

You may have that horrible morning sickness where you’re not actually sick but your other symptoms sound like you may have a virus or bug
i would speak to your GP to get a check up

Yeah I think it is as I never get to the point where I think I'm actually going to be sick. Just feel really sick 24/7 only time I don't feel it is when I'm in bed and when I first wake up but only like half hour after I've woken up it kicks in. I was thinking of contacting my GP think it's probably my best bet.

You sound like you've picked up a bug! I had one too around 5/6 weeks and was so confused as it didn't seem like normal pregnancy symptoms.

I had a temp, awful diarrhea, shivering one minute, sweating the next, aching all over..... this was on top of the normal morning sickness and fatigue.
Thankfully it went after about a week.

Hope you feel better soon.

Ah okay, yeah it could well be then as this doesn't seem normal for me at all. Praying it passes soon 🤞 struggling to even leave the house at the moment. I'm also moving house in a couple of weeks so I've got all the stress of that too this sickness and other symptoms are debilitating me.

Thank you lovely.

As if early pregnancy isn't debilitating enough, throw this on top and you'll be absolutely wiped out
Hope you feel better in a day or 2, if not go and see a doctor.
The main thing is just to stay hydrated

I felt exactly like this, 6 weeks into my last pregnancy. Awful nausea and felt so rough I was bedbound for 2 weeks. I booked an appointment with the gp but it turned out to be covid - seems that (at that time at least) some of the common symptoms were remarkably similar to early pregnancy!

Get well soon 😊

Oh no really?? I've got a GP appointment this afternoon. A lot of the time I feel like I've got the flu so could be the same sort of thing. It's awful on top of being pregnant too isn't it.

Thank you 😊
