Diarrhea???????

jfelix7 · July 2014

I'm approaching my 8th week and have had diarrhea for about a week. Combined with mild nausea, I think this is all related to hormone changes. I see my OB in a few days and will address this with him. I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing diarrhea instead of the classic constipation symptoms?

I am and I have a friend who was too. it's not that uncommon, honestly I'd take it over constipation any day lol

I am too! It's normal and fine as long as you don't get dehydrated.

I had it for about a week before I found out I was pregnant. I thought it was food poisoning but now I have no idea. Just drink a lot of water and eat a lot of bland foods.

I had it in my early weeks. Back to regular ol' poopin' these days.

Yep, I have this too! I'm like xoxolicia though... I'd rather have this over puking!... Although I do feel nauseous a lot these days too...

I went to the bathroom a little with my first but nothinggggg like this. My symptoms are wayyyy more present with this pregnancy... And only my husband, best friend and brother in law know I'm pregnant and it's so hard keeping this a secret much longer being this sick!

None for me, but not much in the way of constipation either. Its most likely due to the fact that I am not eating all that much. I eat as much as I can, but its not near what I was used to eating. Its like, my hubby will cook this delicious meal, and I'll be famished, but after two or three bites, I feel like I've severely over eaten. I kinda miss eating a whole meal to be honest.....

I am either constipated or having diarrhea. I've noticed that rich foods attack my gut like never before.

I've had it on and off since getting my BFP. With my other 2 pregnancies I had constipation... I'll take this! Lol

Ugh. Me too today. I've only eaten boiled eggs, toast with butter and Cheerios. You'd think those foods would be bland enough but apparently not! Hope you ladies get some relief soon.

I'm 11 weeks now, but from week 4-9 I had persistent diarrhea. Your main concern is dehydration. My doctor told me to drink lots of clear fluids and eat binding foods like bananas, applesauce and toast. Some days I had trouble drinking anything at all because I was so nauseated but it gets better!

I have been having it since about 5 weeks. I usually have it once or twice a day so at least I'm not on the toilet all day long, but I would rather have this than constipation or really bad morning sickness.

Sorry that you ladies are experiencing this too, but glad I'm not alone. Thanks for your input!

Yes.. It's no fun. My doc said it might be my prenatals I'm taking, some of them contain stool softener- like ingredients that don't agree well with some women so I'm trying a new vitamin. Hopefully it will stop it!
