I figured there is no such thing as TMI here, so here's my question:
I have had a bit of diarrhea this weekend. My diet hasn't really changed- I have been eating pretty bland food the past 3 weeks since I am nauseous 24/7. I just had my first u/s Thur and we saw the heartbeat, but this upcoming week is when I miscarried last time (after seeing the heartbeat). I had diarrhea the weekend I miscarried too.
So is diarrhea in pregnancy normal? At what point should I call my dr.?
Re: No such thing as TMI here, right?
I don't know about normal, but its not uncommon for things to fluctuate in that dept...at least in my experience. I've noticed that in addition to food & water intake, things like nerves and if I'm fighting a bug can also play into that.
I think I'd call my doctor if it became bad enough that there was a concern about dehydration...or maybe if it went on for ages and I needed some relief.

I had it a number of times. Still do.
I don't think it's anything to worry about, unless it persists for a few days. Make sure you stay hydrated.
Water might not be enough. Gatorade, or water with a few tsps. of sugar in it will help. The glucose helps your intestines absorb more water.

Diarrhea while PG is normal for me. Had it with each PG. However, the butt started to return to normal poops during 2nd tri.
I figured would rather have that than constipation!

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
I'm lurking, but thought I'd add that I had a few of these incidents with both of my pregnancies. I also had diarrhea consistently until 11 or 12 weeks with DD, then constipation. Never could get a good balance! She's a perfectly healthy almost 2 year old, so I wouldn't worry about it. Hope it goes away for you soon!
