what does diareahha mean while pregnant?

Question

ive had diareahha (yes i know i cant spell it sorry) for the past 2-3 days and im 35 wks pregnant...does it mean anything or not?

Answer 1

My OBGYN wanted me to call and tell the nurse if i had it for more than 24 hrs and especially if there was any cramping. It can cause dehydration and contractions and preterm labor.

Answer 2

Im 38 weeks and started experiencing diarrhea a couple weeks ago. My dr took blood samples and I was quite low on iron, but he suggested that I push the fluids and take an extra iron supplement. You should tell your dr about the change in bm - just to keep them aware, but I've also read in alot of places that diarrhea is a sign that your body is getting ready for labor!

My dr did take a stool sample as well, since I had it for a few weeks, but all is well. No sign of infection. Also, taking too many antacids is known to cause diarrhea. Or eating too many sugar free things. Jelly Bellys especially! I believe Olestra - from fat free chips, also causes diarrhea. Just make sure to stay hydrated and try to fend off hemmorhoids!!!

Answer 3

YES!! It means that you may go into labor soon. Diarrhea is one of the signs. But it also may be nothing at 35 weeks you are a bit early. I has some about 27 weeks once and then no diarrhea before I went into labor, so....
But you may want to have your bag packed JIC

Answer 4

I had problems with it during my third pregnancy. It did not stop after the baby was born either. I had developed a food intolerance and I had to figure out what was causing it. My baby was only 6lb. 13oz. because of the diarrhea.

Answer 5

nothing relevant exept that maybe you have eaten something bad or too heavy for your tummy...but if it goes for a couple of days ask your doctor what medicine u should take
