Period is a few days away and last 2 days my stomach is upset, loose motions type. Usually i get the opposite before periods so this feels different. Can this be an early sign or im just reading too much into it?
Yes dear, your body undergoes so many physical changes as it prepares for a new life, and sometimes digestion gets a bit disturbed. Stay positive, drink lots of clean water, and pray. If it doesn't settle, definitely ask your doctor.
Actually, hormonal fluctuations can cause loose motions in early pregnancy, or it could just be food sensitivity. When I was pregnant, I had this too and it made me quite weak, so please drink plenty of coconut water. Take care of your body, it's doing a lot of hard work.
Haan na, early pregnancy mein digestive changes ki wajah se diarrhea ya constipation dono ho sakta hai. Mujhe bhi shuruat mein thoda stomach upset rehta tha. Bas dhyan rakhna ki body dehydrated na ho jaye.
Honestly, diarrhea is usually just a stomach bug or hormonal change, but if it's severe, it can cause dehydration which is dangerous in pregnancy. In my case, any stomach issue meant a quick call to my gynac to be safe. Please check with your doctor instead of waiting.
When I had severe digestive changes early on, my luxury care team advised me that while loose stools can happen due to hormones, sudden severe diarrhea needs to be checked. They told me to call the triage nurse if it lasted more than 24 hours. Keep your hospital team informed.
Diarrhea can happen due to sudden dietary shifts or prenatal vitamins, but make sure you aren't drinking sugary ORS or juices to compensate as it can spike sugar levels. Keep your diet bland and clean, and consult your doctor if it continues.
