The opposite of constipation??

HI all,

 I'm hoping others have experienced this, as well...but I'm worried b/c I read that sometimes diarrhea is an indication of a miscarriage (yes, I need to stop doing this to myself!)...

Have any of you had the opposite of constipation, and had a few 'run-ins' to the bathroom?

It's been the last couple days for me, and being I had a couple previous C/P's, everything worries me.  

Thanks!

  • I've found my digestion to be better since I've become pregnant, but I have had a couple of upset stomach episodes. It's all because of the hormones, so don't worry unless you have any other symptoms of m/c! Congrats!

    Here.  I think it's normal as long as there's no severe uterine cramping or bleeding.  I go from moments of constipation/gassiness to "oh no, I gotta go".  The bowels are changing right along with everything else.  You should be fine.  Mostly, as far I know, the constipation is a side effect of the iron in the prenatal vitamin.

  • I have always had the opposite of constipation, with all my pregnancy's. It gets better after a little while but for me I never had constipation it was either normal or a "run in" :) I wouldn't worry.

  • Yep - I'm having the opposite too.  I guess it's better than not being able to go!
