Not coping today, baby won't settle

6 weeks old tomorrow she's been unsettled all day. Bringing up some of her milk, crying non stop and not sleeping.
Changed her nappy lots, she's had almost double her normal feed and still is crying uncontrollably. I am not coping tonight I don't know what else to try 😰 physically exhausted myself.
Someone please tell me this is normal and nothing to worry about??

Could be growth spurt if she’s eating a lot. It happened from time to time when my baby was as little, and it usually got better after a couple of days. Hang in there!

My baby did this at 6 weeks too! We think it was a growth spurt and he began to smile :) learning a new skill makes him grumpy, tired and hungry 😅
Hopefully your little one will be back to their usual self tomorrow :) This behaviour should only last a couple of days.

I find a little fresh air sometimes helps to soothe my son and helps me feel a little better too. Hope you are okay! :)

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow
