stomach cramps at 6 weeks pregnant
I am about 6 weeks pregnant and seem have constant stomach cramps and feel bloated most of the time. Is this normal? I haven’t eaten anything spicy or that would normally indigestion. Is there any medication that will relieve the pain. I can only eat savoury foods at the moment. I also feel rather depressed most of the time. I was excited when I first found out I was pregnant, now I feel misearable. I know this is probably due to the hormones but when will it pass? So far I have been lucky and not felt too sick, have never actually vomited. Is there any kind of safe anti-depressant to take when you are pregnant.
Please see answers to similar questions about pain in pregnancy. You should not start an antidepressant on your own, but should rather consult your doctor about it. Try doing some relaxing things meanwhile to destress.
