So I am really not constipated, in fact, I have mostly had loose stool a few times a day since I've been pregnant. 

Any else having this issue?

    I did till I reached the 8 week mark then the constipation set in. I am now 12 weeks and things seem to have evened out.

    Totally!  Since the day I found out I was pregnant!!!!  I've found for me small meal portions (way smaller than I'm used to) really helps.  If we are going out to eat with friends or family I just take an immodium before hand and that has really helped (otherwise, if I eat a full size meal I have to run to the bathroom within minutes of eating!!!!)  GL...and try smaller portions...don't eat until you are full!

    It was like that for me last week... and then something changed and I became constipated in the last few days. :-( I eat TONS of fiber and drink a lot of water, and I walk to and from work and it still happens. And I've been taking PNV since September with no problems.

    I was horribly constipated with my first pregnancy.  This one, its the total opposite.  Neither one is fun!!  Another joy of pregnancy...

    Ugh.  Yes.  Sometimes I am and sometimes I'm not.   It's all crazy different all the time.   It's something they don't tell you before you get pregnant!!   Lol

    Yes, definitely. I thought I was going crazy, but definitely from 4w1d I noticed things were "running smoothly." No constipation to speak of yet, but I'm sure my time will come.

    Completely know where you are coming from.  I have been this way since about 8 weeks.  I asked my doctor about it, and she said that the majority of pregnant women get constipated, but for a lucky 10% or so, it goes the other way ;-o  So, just be sure to drink lots of fluids and keep yourself hydrated (sounds funny...but the hydration part is important).  Additionally, you can try switching pre-natal vitamins as sometimes those play a role in it, too (although they didn't for me).  Good luck!

    In all honesty Yes. Diarrhea has been my indicator or what I can eat and what I cannot eat. That is the only symptom that I have had my entire pregnancy and I am 14 weeks and 6 days today. So you are not alone!!!!

    Yes, I'm 6 wks today and same thing going on. I used to have this issue prior to AF starting too.

    I'm hoping it goes away soon for all of us going through it!

    I have not been constipated once this entire pregnancy.  In fact I look forward to just "regular" days. There has been days where I pass gas and get nervous. But my doctor said its fine as long as I stay hydrated during those times.
