How's your digestion behaving?

Question

Hi guys,

I was wondering how everyone is coping? Everyone always mentions constipation kicking in as soon as they pee on that stick, but for me it's been the opposite.

I've been suffering from diarrhea the past 10 days. It's to the point where I feel really weak and lightheaded. I make sure to drink a lot of water in between to combat dehydration, but I'm still a little worried that it keeps happening every day. What about you all? I'm 5+5 today.

Answer

If you have had dhiarea that long you should take something to plug you up. There are multiple anti dhireals that are completely safe during pregnancy. Why suffer and get dehydrated for no reason? Imodium is something you can buy over the counter and is completely safe. Please take care of yourself.

Answer

I am 5 weeks and 2 days. I always have diarrhea first thing in the morning. It's line morning sickness in a way lol. But then the rest of the day I'm fine.

Answer

Mine tends to get more 'loose' than usual, especially if I drink milk, which is no longer a factor since morning sickness kicked in. I will be switching to lactose free for good for the rest of my pregnancy to help a bit, but that seems to be my normal. My doctor told me it's not all that uncommon, your digestive system goes through a lot.

You might want to consider bringing it to your doctor's attention, just in case, especially if it's frequent and going on this long. I hope you find relief soon.

Answer

I've had a few days of diarrhea and only 1 day of constipation, but I'm only 5+4. I have few symptoms so far and it feels like I'm waiting for the shoe to drop.
