Is it normal to have diarrhea during pregnancy?

Q. I am currently 6 weeks pregnant, and in the past day I have had diarrhea. Its not too bad, but its starting to scare me. I don't mean to be gross but it is a lime green color. Almost the color of my urine due to prenatal vitamins. Should I be worried? Will it cause a miscarriage?

A. I had diarrhea the my entire first trimester...the only concern with the doctor is dehydration. But it's normal. As far as the color, it could be your pills doing it, but i would just let your doctor know, but i don't see any reason to worry.


I am 8 days late on my period and having diarrhea my pregnancy test was negative, could i still be pregnant?
Q. Like i said diarrhea for the past week. 8 days late, 2 tests were negative. taken 2 days ago.
have been having sore throat and headache
any ideas on what i should do?

A. I found a discussion about late period and diarrhea of Wiki. Here is ther first part of it:

Diarrhea and period like cramping are signs of pregnancy

�I have been feeling terrible for the last week. I have had bouts of diarrhea, greenish-black bowel movements (sorry), constant cramping, headaches, and slight nausea but haven't vomited. Also I haven't had a period in over 2 months. My periods are always irregular, usually skipping a week- month at a time, but never 2 months. I am heavy, so that could be the reason for no period. I have been exercising more regularly, but haven't in a couple weeks.

�Yes. I experienced both diarrhea and cramping. So, I decided to buy Imodium, and as a second thought, a pregnancy test. After taking 4 pregnancy tests, I was convinced that I was pregnant and did not have a stomach virus.
�I have the same thing! I am now 3 days away from receiving my AF, which hopefully won't come at all! My diarrhea is like greenish-black..sorry TMI!! I heard it could be something in the prenatal pills. You are right! It is most likely the iron in the pnv's
�I am not sure how to post on this board but so I am adding to this persons post... I just had to say that this is EXACTLY ME>>> I have had greenish black horrible diarrhea at 8dpo it followed a dip in my chart then my temps went up and major period cramps followed by horrible diarrhea for three days followed. I am like a day away from my flo day, so I am hoping this is indeed an early sign, I read that even though it is rare it does occur due to the increased progesterone on implantation.... so here is hoping this helps someone else out there looking for this answer.
�Well if this is prior to getting a positive test, Diarrhea can be a sign of increased progesterone... I had diarrhea with this last one and it was really awful. It started about a week before my period was due... the cramping could be part of the diarrhea... GL with what ever you want as an outcome :)

The rest is at the website below. Hope this helps.


Is it common for women that is pregnant to have diarrhea?
Q. I'm 20 years old and found out a couple of weeks ago that I'm pregnant and. I wanted to know is diarrhea common for pregnancy. And can you sleep on your stomach when you 6 weeks pregnant sorry for all the question my first baby.

A. Some digestive upset is normal in the first few months of pregnancy. Nausea is more common but diarrhea isn't unheard of. The important thing is to keep yourself very well hydrated if you're having issues with diarrhea. It should go away shortly as the hormones from early pregnancy settle out. If it doesn't stop soon I would go see your doctor. You can sleep on your belly for the first few months at least. When your belly starts getting in the way it's better to sleep on your left side but not your back because sleeping on your back puts pressure on your veins and can lead to decreased blood flow to the placenta. As long as you're comfortable on your tummy in the first few months then you're fine.


Is it normal to get stomach cramps and diarrhea during pregnancy?
Q. I am currently 4 and a bit weeks pregnant and have been getting stomach cramps for the last 4 weeks, it is tolerable...similar to menstrual pains. I have also experienced the last couple of days a bout of diarrhea which prior to opening my bowels has caused stomach pains but afterwards, it's all fine. My doc has suggested an ultrasound at 6 weeks as he says that getting an earlier scan will not see anything.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?

A. Generally these are signs of premature labor. being that early on I am not sure. If your Dr is not concerned about it than it should be fine.
I got cramps during the first trimester. It was the implanting of the fertilized egg. Then from the uterus stretching.

Has anyone experienced this during pregnancy?
Q. Has anyone experienced pretty bad diarrhea during pregnancy? If so, does anyone know the cause of this?

Thank you so much!

A. Like the answer above me, I'm a little jealous! I had horrible constipation.

Make sure you stay hydrated for sure, because if you get dehydrated it can start to decrease the amount of amniotic fluid (I got severely dehydrated during my second pregnancy and the doctor had me hospitalized and pumped full of IV fluids, not fun) which is really bad for the baby.

Make sure you mention it to the doctor, they may have some suggestions about how to make it stop =)

is stomach cramps and uncontrollable diarrhea normal during pregnancy?
Q. I am currently about 4 months pregnant. For the passed 5 days i've been having uncontrollable diarrhea. I've also been getting random really bad stomach cramps for the passed 2 days, that last just a few seconds. I think the stomach cramps have to do with horrible gas. Are these symptoms normal or is something wrong? If something is wrong, what are the possibilities that it could be?

A. I would actually call your OB tomorrow -

While its normal to have diarrhea during pregnancy it shouldn't last 5 days

Your body does one of two things when pregnant - it either speeds way down and you get constipated or it speeds way up and you get diarrhea - but diarrhea for 5 straight days isn't normal

Is diarrhea a normal part of morning sickness?

Q. I just found out I am pregnant. My first doctor appointment isn't for over a month. I am having a little bit of diarrhea. I feel a little sick to my stomach too. Could this be part of morning sickness? Has anyone else had diarrhea during early pregnancy? I think I'm about 5 weeks.

A. I hope it is, because I just had it last night, and I puked at the same time, I have never done that before. My breast have never been this sore before either, so I am hoping that is a symptom. I would deal with this everyday to be pregnant. I hope you feel better soon. Drink some ginger ale and eat some saltine crackers, it helps.


Is it normal do have diarrhea during early pregnancy?
Q. I know this may be (TMI) but i'm curious. I'm 8 weeks pregnant and i've experienced constipation throughout the past couple of weeks. I just went to the bathroom and had diarrhea. Is this normal or should I be concerned? What i think off set it was the smell of fried fish being cooked by my parents. Any ideas?

A. I've had diarrhea a few different times since being pregnant. I didn't see it as being a problem. I don't think you should either. Drink a little more water than normal and keep an eye on it... If it gets severe, visit your doc. Otherwise, diarrhea, vomiting, gas, bloating, constipation, nausea... It's all part of the joy of being pregnant. :)

Good luck! xoxo.


How many days of diarrhea do I have to endure before labor starts?
Q. Ok. I've had diarrhea off and on for a week now. Now regular bowels at all. How long do I have to endure this before labor starts?

A. I've had diarrhea off & on through out my pregnancy (currently 33 weeks)....It was a stomach virus at 1st & now it's just my prenatals....Just make sure you are getting enough fluids & electrolytes...& make sure your Dr. knows


Can your digestive tract speed up during pregnancy?
Q. I've been having a lot of lower digestive problems, like (excuse me for being icky) diarrhea and stuff. Havent changed my eating habits or anything and I was wondering if being pregnant can speed up your digestive tract. I know it can slow it down and make you constipated but can it speed it up?

A. It's not necessarily that your digestive tract speeds up but typically due to hormonal changes, you'll get diarrhea during pregnancy. I've had more of a problem with diarrhea than I have constipation. Any time you have a surge in hormones that your body isn't used to, diarrhea can be the result. I remember when I stopped taking birth control last year, I had severe diarrhea for about 2 weeks. It was just because of the hormone swap. You're welcome to take Immodium during pregnancy if you need to. If your diarrhea is severe, you need to see your doctor to make sure you don't get dehydrated. Good luck!

I just had to say that this is EXACTLY ME>>> I have had greenish black horrible diarrhea at 8dpo it followed a dip in my chart then my temps went up and major period cramps followed by horrible diarrhea for three days followed. I am like a day away from my flo day, so I am hoping this is indeed an early sign, I read that even though it is rare it does occur due to the increased progesterone on implantation.... so here is hoping this helps someone else out there looking for this answer.
�Well if this is prior to getting a positive test, Diarrhea can be a sign of increased progesterone... I had diarrhea with this last one and it was really awful. It started about a week before my period was due... the cramping could be part of the diarrhea... GL with what ever you want as an outcome :)

Is it common for women that is pregnant to have diarrhea?
Q. I'm 20 years old and found out a couple of weeks ago that I'm pregnant and. I wanted to know is diarrhea common for pregnancy. And can you sleep on your stomach when you 6 weeks pregnant sorry for all the question my first baby.

A. Some digestive upset is normal in the first few months of pregnancy. Nausea is more common but diarrhea isn't unheard of. The important thing is to keep yourself very well hydrated if you're having issues with diarrhea. It should go away shortly as the hormones from early pregnancy settle out. If it doesn't stop soon I would go see your doctor. You can sleep on your belly for the first few months at least. When your belly starts getting in the way it's better to sleep on your left side but not your back because sleeping on your back puts pressure on your veins and can lead to decreased blood flow to the placenta. As long as you're comfortable on your tummy in the first few months then you're fine.


Is it normal to get stomach cramps and diarrhea during pregnancy?
Q. I am currently 4 and a bit weeks pregnant and have been getting stomach cramps for the last 4 weeks, it is tolerable...similar to menstrual pains. I have also experienced the last couple of days a bout of diarrhea which prior to opening my bowels has caused stomach pains but afterwards, it's all fine. My doc has suggested an ultrasound at 6 weeks as he says that getting an earlier scan will not see anything.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?

A. Generally these are signs of premature labor. being that early on I am not sure. If your Dr is not concerned about it than it should be fine.
I got cramps during the first trimester. It was the implanting of the fertilized egg. Then from the uterus stretching.


Has anyone experienced this during pregnancy?
Q. Has anyone experienced pretty bad diarrhea during pregnancy? If so, does anyone know the cause of this?

Thank you so much!

A. Like the answer above me, I'm a little jealous! I had horrible constipation.

Make sure you stay hydrated for sure, because if you get dehydrated it can start to decrease the amount of amniotic fluid (I got severely dehydrated during my second pregnancy and the doctor had me hospitalized and pumped full of IV fluids, not fun) which is really bad for the baby.

Make sure you mention it to the doctor, they may have some suggestions about how to make it stop =)

is stomach cramps and uncontrollable diarrhea normal during pregnancy?
Q. I am currently about 4 months pregnant. For the passed 5 days i've been having uncontrollable diarrhea. I've also been getting random really bad stomach cramps for the passed 2 days, that last just a few seconds. I think the stomach cramps have to do with horrible gas. Are these symptoms normal or is something wrong? If something is wrong, what are the possibilities that it could be?

A. I would actually call your OB tomorrow -

While its normal to have diarrhea during pregnancy it shouldn't last 5 days

Your body does one of two things when pregnant - it either speeds way down and you get constipated or it speeds way up and you get diarrhea - but diarrhea for 5 straight days isn't normal

Is it normal to have diarrhea during pregnancy?

Is diarrhea a normal part of morning sickness?
Q. I just found out I am pregnant. My first doctor appointment isn't for over a month. I am having a little bit of diarrhea. I feel a little sick to my stomach too. Could this be part of morning sickness? Has anyone else had diarrhea during early pregnancy? I think I'm about 5 weeks.

A. I hope it is, because I just had it last night, and I puked at the same time, I have never done that before. My breast have never been this sore before either, so I am hoping that is a symptom. I would deal with this everyday to be pregnant. I hope you feel better soon. Drink some ginger ale and eat some saltine crackers, it helps.

Is it normal to have diarrhea during pregnancy?

Q. I am currently 6 weeks pregnant, and in the past day I have had diarrhea. Its not too bad, but its starting to scare me. I don't mean to be gross but it is a lime green color. Almost the color of my urine due to prenatal vitamins. Should I be worried? Will it cause a miscarriage?

A. I had diarrhea the my entire first trimester...the only concern with the doctor is dehydration. But it's normal. As far as the color, it could be your pills doing it, but i would just let your doctor know, but i don't see any reason to worry.


I am 8 days late on my period and having diarrhea my pregnancy test was negative, could i still be pregnant?
Q. Like i said diarrhea for the past week. 8 days late, 2 tests were negative. taken 2 days ago.
have been having sore throat and headache
any ideas on what i should do?

A. I found a discussion about late period and diarrhea of Wiki. Here is ther first part of it:

Diarrhea and period like cramping are signs of pregnancy

�I have been feeling terrible for the last week. I have had bouts of diarrhea, greenish-black bowel movements (sorry), constant cramping, headaches, and slight nausea but haven't vomited. Also I haven't had a period in over 2 months. My periods are always irregular, usually skipping a week- month at a time, but never 2 months. I am heavy, so that could be the reason for no period. I have been exercising more regularly, but haven't in a couple weeks.

�Yes. I experienced both diarrhea and cramping. So, I decided to buy Imodium, and as a second thought, a pregnancy test. After taking 4 pregnancy tests, I was convinced that I was pregnant and did not have a stomach virus.
�I have the same thing! I am now 3 days away from receiving my AF, which hopefully won't come at all! My diarrhea is like greenish-black..sorry TMI!! I heard it could be something in the prenatal pills. You are right! It is most likely the iron in the pnv's
�I am not sure how to post on this board but so I am adding to this persons post... I just had to say that this is EXACTLY ME>>> I have had greenish black horrible diarrhea at 8dpo it followed a dip in my chart then my temps went up and major period cramps followed by horrible diarrhea for three days followed. I am like a day away from my flo day, so I am hoping this is indeed an early sign, I read that even though it is rare it does occur due to the increased progesterone on implantation.... so here is hoping this helps someone else out there looking for this answer.
