has anyone else been suffering diarrhea?

Sorry for the not very nice topic!

I have been suffering from diarrhea since I found out I was pregnant. (I'm nearly 9 weeks) . It is on and off but it's driving me mad!

I'm trying to make sure I drink plenty of water to stay hydrated but it seems to make the diarrhea problem worse!


Has anyone else had diarrhea and how have you settled it down while pregnant?

Re: has anyone else been suffering diarrhea?

  • Oh my gosh- I'm having the same problem! It's horrible, it's not bad enough to feel sick to my stomach all day but then...diarrhea? Really? I've had it since about 6 weeks and I'm 8 weeks now. I'm taking my prenatals which usually cause people to have constipation! I too have been trying to make sure I'm drinking water but I haven't found a solution yet. I'm assuming it's just my body's reaction to all the crazy hormones.  I vaguely recall having it while pregnant with my last in the beginning but it wasn't this bad.  Thanks for sharing- I've been wanting to ask too.  Sorry I'm no help though! lol

  • I've had it since I found out too, and I'm 7w4d now.  Between that and food aversions/nausea/throwing up, I've lost 13 pounds.
  • I'm 8w2d now and I had awful diarrhea between weeks 4-7. I talked to my doc about it and she said it's totally normal for some people - she said I could take a probiotic (which has been really helpful), but not to take anything else and just sort of let it happen and make sure you stay hydrated. Fun!
  • I kinda wish I was! /:) lol sorry!!!! Hope you all feel better soon! ^^ a probiotic is very good. I wonder is culturelle is safe? You should call and ask doc. They have some for little ones too FYI ;)

    If I'm not constipated i have Diarhea :(. Can't complain because those are my only real symptoms but my husband is tired of driving anywhere with me already lol! It's completely unpredictable and hits me hard. Last night I had to almost go at the side of the road!

    I've been having it off and on, too. Actually, I always thought I had (mild) IBS pre-pregnancy, but have never been diagnosed. It seemed to stop once I started the prenatal vitamins but has come back between last night and today. I'm 8w2d. Whatever you do, do not google "diarrhea early pregnancy"! Only the worst information. So glad to see that others here have it, and it's totally normal.
  • Haha thanks ladies! ! I feel better knowing I'm not the only one! :)
    It's actually eased since last night (yay!) So I will relish it while I can!
  • On my other app I'm using, it says diarrhea is just a sign that your digestive track is working. I've had it off and on also.
  • Me too on and off for the last couple of weeks.... glad Im not the only one!!!
