...diarrhea may be very severe for pregnant women. Antacids, Tylenol, and Immodium, may be taken, but Pepto-Bismol should not be taken.

Do not take Imodium. If it is that bad see your doctor first. I used to take gaviscon during my pregnancy but you have to be careful with most things.
Hope things get better.

try buying a bottle of coke and leaving it out to go warm an then stir out all the bubbles and drink it. It relieves diorrehea instantly and i started using this after being told traveling crazy places and getting bad stomaches. It really does work and is safe.

Phone NHS Direct, you can speak with nurses etc there and tehy will be able to tell you for sure. 0845 46 47. They are really helpful, I use them quite often with my 9 month old baby. It takes the pressure of Doctors.

ALWAYS check with your doctor before taking any medicine while pregnant. Try to drink water so as not to dehydrate and keep off food for 24 hours. Hope you feel better soon.

No its not ok to take it.
Im afraid its likely that you are going to have to stay near a toilet!
Most things like that are not good during pregnancy. If in any doubt check the labels of any products it will tell you on there.
