Cramping and Diarrhea?

dbos99 · March 2011

Sorry I know this is TMI, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. Yesterday I am not sure if it was something I ate, but my stomach was feeling off all day. Then last night my dinner went right through me and today I still feel a bit off with slight cramps that don't necessarily feel like period cramps. So far this pregnancy and all throughout my last I was constipated, so this is new to me. Of course the fact that I had a deli meat sandwich yesterday for lunch is making me feel incredibly guilty and has me thinking of listeria. I was just hoping to hear from others who may have also experienced diarrhea and slight cramping in early pregnancy. TIA!

I've had cramping and diarrhea for about a week now. Everything I've read says it's normal for some people. I plan to ask my doctor at my appointment next week, but i'm pretty sure he's going to tell me the same thing. Just make sure you stay hydrated.

This is me too, for my first pregnancy and this one as well!

I've had a couple diarrhea episodes. My doctor didn't seem concerned at all. From everything I've read it can be a normal symptom of pregnancy. While constipation is more common, things are shifting and you can get either.

Thanks ladies. I'm glad to know that I am not the only one experiencing this!

I had diarrhea on and off for like the first 6 weeks of my last pregnancy and im still having it on and off in this pregnancy. It happens for some people. Oh, and I ate deli sandwiches like one a week (sometimes twice) during my last prenancy...i wouldn't be too worried about listeria.

I have been going about 5 times a DAY lady. No constipation here! Could be the vitamins.

I have been having it too, I just went off of Zofran and it wasn't the next day before things really got going. Since then I have had a lot of soft stools and some loose. I am enjoying it after how backed up I was before.

Im barely pregnant and had the same feeling all day today. I couldnt decide if it was pregnancy or pregnancy nerves

I had diarrhea my entire pregnancy with my son who is now two, I am only 6 weeks pregnant now with my second and it started this morning. I have had cramps on and off and they found out I have a bladder infection. It would not hurt to pee in a cup and see if you have an infection, I learned in nursing school they normally cause cramps.

I had it for the first 9 weeks or so... I'm pretty sure it's normal... I have had a healthy pregnancy so far, and that was one of the first pregnancy signs I had and like I said it lasted a while... Should be over soon... but then comes the stinky farts! Surprise

I am experiencing that all right now! I'm super super early in my pregnancy and it scares me so much! I went to the ER the other night because I wasn't able to keep anything down, and now I can't seem to get off the toilet because of diarrhea. I'm terrified to eat anything because I'm worried it'll make me even more sick. This is my first pregnancy, so who knows!

I've been having slight cramps on and off for the past couple of days. It usually starts around evening time. It's really weird because I won't have to go to the bathroom all day until the cramps start, then I have no problem going. It's pretty strange. I don't think it is anything to worry about unless they are painful.

I have been having cramping and diarrhea off and on as well. It has made me very nervous. But, from what I've been reading, it is normal!

It is reassuring to hear that others are experiencing this! I have been having horrible nausea pretty much all day accompanied by diarrhea! I didn't know what to think of it since it's never listed on the pregnancy websites as one of the common symptoms.

CloJax · April 2011

same here! i was beginning to worry that i was the only one! i am 6 weeks now and this has been going on for about four day! sure hope its coming to an end soon... i can handle the nausea, but diarrhea is just gross to have to worry about too!

jorda235 · April 2011

I have had some cramping and diarrhea with this pregnancy as well, but not with my first. In addition to this, I have had really bad gas pretty much after anything I eat lately, and that can cause a lot of pain sometimes and even feel like cramps. I get diarrhea, gas and get nauseous after I eat greasy or unhealthy foods too, so I would suggest avoiding these. Good luck, I know how it feels, this has been my worst symptom so far!

I wouldn't sweat it.. I had diarrhea and cramping for the first 3 weeks.

Yeah, it's almost like I am having AF without AF.

I am so glad I am not alone! This is baby #5 and I have never had this before. I was worried there might be something wrong. I have bad cramps (not like menstrual cramps) and lots of bloating and gas pain and on top of it, I have had the runs for 3 days now. crazy! Other than that I feel fine. Wink
