Any other moms with diarrhea?

aironside

This is the second time this week or has happened (first being Monday today being friday) I am 34 weeks and today I am needing to keep the bathroom close by. On Monday it was so bad that we went into the hospital to make sure i wasnt getting too dehydrated and they really had no answers for us and I haven't been eating anything strange or had a chance to get food poisoning. Any tips on how to make it go away and make my stomach feel better?!

I've been getting this on and off since the beginning.  I can't figure out why and haven't really come up with anything helps it either.  Sorry, I'm not much help, but wanted to let you know you're not alone!

Yep- I've had loose stools for about 2 weeks now only once a day. It's not always full blown diarrhea but definitely loose and never hard anymore lol. Dr. said its normal and just hormones and my body preparing for labor. No matter what I eat or how much water I drink, it's always loose. Dr. said I can buy over the counter meds for it (sorry I can't remember the name!), but I'd rather not. I've started wiping with baby wipes so I dont feel as gross, but I'm just kind of dealing with it now. Maybe stick to a BRAT diet. It hasn't worked for me so far, but I've quit eating spicy foods to ease that pain.

Comes and goes for me too. Did at the end of my first pregnancy too. Yay hormones. So ready to be done....
