Pregnancy Info HOME

I, too, had diarrhea during a lot of my first trimester. I kept reading everywhere that most pregnant women got constipated so was surprised when I had the opposite problem. I found a bland diet minus fruit such as apples and very little dairy helped somewhat. Also, be sure to keep yourself well hydrated. Talk to your doc if it's a bad problem. I've heard of some women taking kaopectate on advice from their doc. I think it is hormones as I noticed that this disappeared when my m/s went away too, which usually happens when hormone levels level off in the late part of the first trimester. I'm 19 weeks now and haven't had any problems for a while now. The good news is that there's been no constipation either :)
