Diarrhea?
I’ve always read and heard that constipation is normal in the first trimester but has anyone experienced the opposite? I’m 5 weeks and 4 days and found out I was pregnant at about 4 weeks and have basically had diarrhea since then. It hasn’t been accompanied by any stomach pain or cramping so I’m not too concerned that it’s a stomach bug but I’m just worried that it’s almost been 2 weeks of nonstop 💩💩💩

I had the same thing and my doctor said it was hormones or change of diet
It fluctuates between the 2 throughout! You can’t win haha! But if your concerned about dehydration make sure you speak to the midwife and drink lots 🙂
Thanks ladies! So glad to hear it’s not uncommon
I’m 12 weeks now Since my 6-7th week I’ve been having episodes of constipation and diarrhoea, till date never had a normal bowel movement I was prescribed magnesium supplements for constipation by my OBGYN (after which my diarrhoea got more worse) so I’ve stopped them for sometime

It’s your hormones increasing so rapidly! Totally messes with your system had this with both of mine it levels out around 10 weeks ish, just make sure you keep your fluid levels up x
