Im around 5 months and had loose motions since yesterday, gone like 4-5 times. Feeling weak and a little scared if it affects the baccha. Planning to call my gynac today but wanted to know if anyone faced this.
Please don't ignore it if it's severe. During my pregnancy, severe diarrhea led to low fluid levels, so my doctor had to put me on IV fluids. If it's heavy or accompanied by severe cramping, please contact your gynac immediately.
Haan na, stomach upset ho toh darr lagta hi hai. But as long as severe cramps ya bleeding nahi hai, baby safe hai. Bas ORS pani peete raho taki weakness na aaye.
Don't worry, a brief bout of loose motions is quite common and won't hurt your baby. Just keep yourself hydrated with coconut water and buttermilk. Your body is strong, you'll be absolutely fine in a day or two!
According to my pregnancy app, hormonal changes or prenatal vitamins can sometimes cause diarrhea. But if it lasts more than 48 hours or you have a high fever, you must consult your gynac to prevent severe dehydration.
I had a terrible stomach bug in my second trimester and was so weak! The baby was completely fine, but I had to drink electoral water continuously. Try to eat plain bananas and boiled rice, and rest as much as possible.
I totally understand how scary it feels when you are unwell and worried about the little soul inside. Your baby is safe and cushioned, but your body needs strength right now. Please drink plenty of fluids and take care of yourself, dear.
An occasional upset stomach is normal, but do not self-medicate with random antibiotics. Stick to simple home remedies like ORS and coconut water. If it doesn't get better by tomorrow, call your clinic.
Mild diarrhea won't harm the baby directly, but dehydration can cause issues. When I had stomach issues, I avoided outside food completely and stuck to light curd rice and home-cooked moong dal khichdi. Drink plenty of clean, filtered water.
