Diarrhea...

I've had pretty awful diarrhea since 31w and am now 35w. It seems to be getting worse and it's making leaving the house or getting anything done nearly impossible. I'm curious if any of you are having this problem and if you've found a way to ease it down a bit. I know emptying your bowels before labor is typically a good thing but I'm having a c-section and didn't have any bowel related issues with DD1 so I'm not too worried about it.

Re: Diarrhea...

  • If you've had diarrhea for 4 weeks I would definitely speak to your doctor just to make sure everything is OK. You want to be sure you're staying hydrated too. Try foods that bind - think BRAT diet.

  • I agree with po that sounds like a pretty long time to have diarrhea, I would definitely ask your doctor about it.
    I do remember my sister saying that after having her first she seemed to get more irritable bowels, but I'd be concerned about dehydration.
