Been having loose motions on and off this week and im in my first trimester. Always heard about constipation in pregnancy so this is confusing me. Is loose motion also a thing or is it just something i ate?
I mostly battled nausea and constipation, but i did get loose motions a couple times from something i ate. ORS and light khichdi sorted me out. Just dont let yourself get dehydrated, thats the main thing.
Occasional loose motion is okay but if its repeated or with cramps please dont ignore it. Dehydration in pregnancy isnt good and cramps need to be checked. Drink fluids and call your gynac if it doesnt settle.
It can happen sometimes from hormones, diet changes or a bug, but constipation is far more common in pregnancy. If you get loose motions just keep up your fluids. Frequent or severe loose motions though, call your doctor.
