Diarrhoea during pregnancy

Hi mummies! I am 9 weeks going 10 weeks and having bad diarrhoea. Any suggestions on what medicine to eat or prevent the diarrhoea?

Go see a GP and let the GP know you’re expecting. My GP didn’t give me medication to treat the diarrhoea but prescribed medication to help with the stomach wind (cause of tummy ache). The diarrhoea cleared in a few days. This happened to me in early 2nd trimester, I’m now 6 months in and baby is growing healthily so don’t worry too much & see a GP as soon as you can :) Please let your gynae know if the diarrhoea persist / worsens. Get well soon!

Go to ur GP and tell him that u are pregnant. Usually they will not give u any strong meds but charcoal pills. I had diarrhea when i was pregnant till 17 wks. U just need to drink plenty of fluids. Well, we are just some of the 'chosen' ones that the morning sickness has to go out by the other 'door'. Gdluck!

My gynae said normal charcoal pills is fine, but maybe you can call up your gynae clinic to ask?
