There are very few things that are not a normal symptom of pregnancy:) That being said, diarrhea is a common one... many women find that their hormonal levels influence the behavior of their bowels, both while pregnant or nonpregnant.
On the other hand, it's not like diarrhea is exactly an unusual symptom. You could have a mild tummy bug as well. As long as you are able to keep hydrated and you get better in a few days I wouldn't worry too much.

I have it all the time when I am pregnant (instead of the constipation that's more common). I have it from the beginning to the end. However if you haven't experienced it before in your pregnancy, I would be cautious. Maybe you've eaten something bad at a restaurant/fast food place or home, usually it doesn't harm the baby but listeria could so it'd be wise to see your doctor. Otherwise drink plenty of fluids and take your prenatal vitamins to prevent dehydration and loss of nutrients.
Do you have other symptoms too like dull lower backache, menstrual cramps or tightening of your belly? If you do, please drink and lay down on your left side and if it doesn't go away, call your doctor as these -together with diareah and/or vomiting- can be the sign of preterm labor.
Take care and good luck!

I'm the same way, I'm 5 wks pregnant with my second, it's the hormones, some people get constipated, others go the opposite way. Even a few days before I got period that would happen.
