At the beginning of my pregnancy, I had much constipation. Lately, I've had quite the opposite and someone told me that could pose a problem in my pregnancy. I'm seeing my Dr this week, so I'll be sure to ask, but I'm curious if anyone knows if diarrhea is a symptom of something being wrong? I was kind of thinking I was lucky, lol. Thanks.

I tried to "research" this in what reading materials I have, focused on pregnancy & couldn't find anything that actually gave me a yes/no.

Sometimes when you have diarrhea when pregnant, (or not) you can get dehydrated, which is not good. Cramping associated with diarrhea can sometimes bring on premature labor. Make sure you are hydrated well by drinking a lot of water, and I would call my doctor to tell him/her about the diarrhea and find out what they would like you to do.

If anything is wrong it is probably because you are not drinking enough water. I did have problems with my pregnancy and was instructed to drink at least one glass of water an hour. My ob/gyn told me being dehydrated can cause diarrhea, constipation, and pre-term labor.

Gosh, while I was pregnant I was so constipated I almost had to call the doctor to come help me finish a crap that got stuck half way out while my cat was sitting in the bathroom staring at me! Oh it was horrible! Sorry I can't help you. I only had diarrhea when I took a poop pill.

Diarrhea has nothing to do with it. I'm almost sure that it is not anything wrong with the baby. I would like to know where that person found that info. she gave you. How dare someone try to scare you like that!

I've been constipated and had the runs while pregnant. I've had four babies. It doesn't necessarily mean that something is wrong. Just make sure you are drinking LOTS all the while.

Honey, I've had 3 babies & no having diarrhea is not a sign of something being wrong. Good Luck.

I went thru both when I was pregnant with my two...it could be just the changes that your body is going thru...and it's going to go thru a lot...but it could be something that u ate also, and your body is reacting to that...even if its the same kind of food u ate before u got pregnant..I'd still ask your doctor tho when u see him/her next..
