Re: Anything you can do for diarrhea during pregnancy? (TMI)
I've had it a few times and I've read that you can take immodium for it during pregnancy. I haven't confirmed with my doc, but I have taken it since I've been pregnant. I think mines from the extra DHA and veggie prenatals I'm taking.
Good luck, I hope you feel better.
I had it bad because I was on metformin, Immodium was OK'd by my doctor. I was also told to use the BRAT diet for a few days to let my stomach settle. Bananas, Rice, Apple sauce and Toast. Peppermint tea also works for the cramps, and GasX is approved by my doctor as well.
Just dont use Pepto!

God Bless you if you have a stomach bug during your pregnancy! However, if it's just a product of your pregnancy, like a lot of pregnancy symptoms almost any wierd thing when you're expecting is 'normal'. According to my doctor some women have diarrhea during pregnancy rather than constipation - it's just due to some kind of chemical in your body being higher than usual. I had diarrhea (not severe) throughout my first pregnancy and I have it again with this one.
I know there are a lot of negatives with constipation as well, so I just try and deal with the cramps and running to the bathroom in stride. I haven't had it severe enough to see if I could take immodium, but sometimes Tums is calming to my stomach. I also will try drinking green tea in the evenings. Avoiding milk on days where it is bad seems to help too. Good luck!
