Stomach issues

[btrcup83]

I've often heard that constipation is a big symptom of pregnancy but has any one had the opposite symptom? I'm almost 10 weeks pregnant and have been dealing with watery stools for at least 4 weeks. I switched prenatal vitamins and that helped (who knew they had stool softeners?!) but now the loose stools has just turned to diarrhea. I haven't noticed any specific food triggers and just want to know if this is normal. I have a Dr's appointment tomorrow and will be discussing with Dr for sure.

I wish that was my problem. I have been on the Zofran pump for 4 months to stop my nausea and vomiting and Robinul for 2 months to stop my consistent spitting. Both cause severe constipation! At my longest, I went 2 weeks with no bowel movement and had to go to the hospital. The constipation was so bad I could not sit down. Now I have to give myself an enema every 3 days so I wish my stool was loose or runny! LOL!

I had loose to normal stools in the early months too. But once I hit 3rd trimester I got a little constipated here and there. Like Nikki said drink tons of water if your loose or backed up.

Im 23 weeks and go from normal to constipated to watery and the cycle starts over but you might need to have your dr to prescribe you a prenatal you shouldnt always be watery or diarrhea

I am in the same boat as you I'm 6weeks+5 and I know mine could be from not drinking enough fluids. Make sure you are drinking a ton more then usual its so easy to get dehydrated while pregnant.
Hope u feel better soon <3
