Around 5 weeks now and my tummy has been off for 2-3 days, going to washroom way more than normal. I always heard constipation in pregnancy not the opposite so im a bit puzzled. Anyone else had this early on?
I had some loose motions in early weeks and got really worried something was wrong. It settled once I was more careful with food. Did others have this early too? It scared me a bit honestly.
Yes, hormones can mess with digestion, so some women get loose stools early, while others get constipated instead. A bit of it is usually fine if you stay hydrated. But if it is frequent, watery or with fever and cramps, then ring your gynac.
Occasional loose stools can happen, just keep yourself hydrated with water and ORS if needed. But dont ignore it if it is severe or keeps going, dehydration is not good in pregnancy. Better to check with your doctor if it lasts more than a day or two.
