Stomach bug...?

Blech, I have had diarrhea (gross) off and on for about a week now. It's pared down to just first thing in the morning, although for the first 2 days or so, it was all day with a lot of cramping and abdominal blechiness. My OB said she just feels it's a bug and to take some Immodium and lots of fluids...but this seems like a long time...any STM's with diarrhea as one of your early signs of labor? And just how early does it tend to be? I'm thinking stomach bug just based on how long it has been going on. Also, I have to work through Sunday, so I'm just trying to make it until then...

    I've been dealing with it for about 2 weeks and I remember having issues for about the last month while pregnant with DS. For me it seems to just be another pregnancy related issue but does not seem to mean labor is about to start.

    dont' take immodium! let your body flush your system. unless you're at work then i would i guess....

    immodium just stops the diarrhea, it doesn't fix anything.

    sorry you're feeling so crappy - just try to drink lots

    I have IBS so its fairly common for me as well. When I asked the doctor she said to keep fluids up regardless of whether it stays in or not, and to not worry too much.

    Basically she said it would take a lot to dehydrate baby and by then you will hve been hospitalised for yourself anyway, and to just keep up the kickcounting as usual!

    You have tons of extra fluids in your body, just once or twice a day is not diarrhea anymore, just loose stool, which a lot of constipated bumpies would die for :p
