Is diarrhea a sign of pregnancy in the first week?

Question

We are trying this month and im about a week before my period now. Stomach has been upset and loose since yesterday. Could this be an early sign or am i just overthinking everything?

Tanvi Goyal · Answer

Oh I thought it might be a sign too. So its more likely just a tummy upset then? Good to know, I was reading into every little thing.

Not really, diarrhea isnt a typical early pregnancy sign, its more often from food or a stomach bug. The classic early signs are missed period, tiredness and sore breasts. If you suspect pregnancy, just take a test after the missed period.

Not a real sign na, take a test to confirm.

Loose motions are usually unrelated to pregnancy. But if its severe or you feel weak and dehydrated please see a doctor and keep sipping fluids. Dont take any medicine on your own.
