Diarrhea today..not doing well

in 1st Trimester
I"ve been experiencing some diarrhea today (sorry tmi). Anyone else experience this in first tri? I"m about 6 weeks a long. I"m not  having any unusual cramping. I'm drinking alot of water. I hope it goes away soon. Just a bit concerned.

    That is the one thing I have not had. I wouldn't worry unless it last's for awhile and you get dehydrated.

    I had that same issue around 6 weeks also and my doc said that is just another possible symptom. In my opinion, I'd rather have diarrhea a few times instead of being constipated. Good luck :)

    Ditto! Never thought it was a symptom of pregnancy but it's really wearing on me today!!!!! But I'd rather have it over vomitting/MS any day of the week!

    Me too! No constipation...just loose stools and sometimes diarrhea. I just make sure I'm drinking lots of fluids including Gatorade. It sucks, but I would rather have this than constipation. Hang in there!!

    ok, i thought i was the only one. Just really odd cause i was constipated with the pregnancy with my daughter. I"m definitely drinking alot and now trying to eat bland food and not so much fruits and veggies which i'm craving. I guess we can't compain & constipation is worse in my opinion.

    I have for both pregnancies. It was actually a sign for me. I've never been constipated--always the opposite for me.

    I hit both extremes.  Up until around last week (start of week 9) I was SO constipated all the time. I drank a TON of water, ate fiberous veggies, and got a prenatal vitamin with a stool softner; nothing worked.  Then all of sudden a few days ago I started getting diarrhea!  It's preferable to constipation, but I HATE that it hits me a work EVERYTIME.  My doctor said it's normal and just keep hydrated.....so now I'm peeing more Stick out tongue

    I'm slightly jealous.  Last week, I needed an epidural to go #2, I swear I almost pushed the baby sac out with it.  I'm getting Colace today actually!  Hope you feel better though!

    LOL I had some today, too!  Mostly, it's the other way around.  I'm blaming the Chinese food I've been craving. Generally, I'm taking Citrucel and occasional stool softeners, but from now on, might just eat Chinese food.

    I haven't had it, but eat a banana I heard that helps with diarrhea.
