Question about yoga (TMI)

lnyostlnyost
in 2nd Trimester
I just started to do yoga and noticed I have some serious diarrhea.  Is this a common side effect?  I emailed my doctor as well, but wanted to see if any of you experienced in yoga have had this happen.  Thanks so much.

    I'm gonna say no, it's not a common side effect!  I could see yoga/excercise help out your bowls and keep everything flowing. But I did yoga and never dealt with any of that!

    I've never had that happen with yoga, but haven't done yoga since I've been pregnant.

    Is there a reason why you haven't?  I'm just wondering if it's not good for me.

    I just started prenatal yoga, and I wouldnt consider that the cause. Both probably just happened to show up aorund the same time.

    Good luck!!

    There are certain poses that are contraindicated in pregnancy - you should do prenatal yoga or otherwise ask your instructor for modifications.

    Have you been constipated?  Even mildly?  If I haven't gone in a few days I have a rough loose day or two then I'm regular again.  Then get constipated, then the cycle starts again.

    It may be a coincidence, but I guess it could be possible yoga may have helped get things moving.

    I've never had that happen and I've done yoga before and during pregnancy. But it is very holistic so it is possible that maybe a certain pose caused it. I'd ask the instructor if anything can be doing that. Also def switch to prenatal yoga - it's just as beneficial (more in some respects) and take away any poses that may not be ok during pregnancy.

    This is why I haven't done it. I haven't found a prenatal yoga class at a time that is convenient for me.

    I do prenatal yoga and haven't had any issues.  Have you had any changes in your diet?
