Im 7 weeks and having loose motions since 2 days. Read everywhere ki constipation is the usual thing in pregnancy, so the opposite is making me worry. Anyone else faced this?
Yes, it can happen due to sudden hormonal changes or even diet shifts. Try having simple ORS water, curd-rice, and bananas to settle your stomach. But if it doesn't stop in a day or two, please check with your doctor.
I had this exact issue in my early weeks, and it was so draining! I survived on curd rice and apple sauce for a few days. It settled down soon, but make sure you let your doctor know so they can check if any prenatal supplement needs changing.
While constipation is more famous, loose motion is also quite common due to hormonal spikes. Focus on staying hydrated with coconut water and buttermilk. If you have severe stomach cramps or diarrhea for more than 24 hours, call your doctor immediately.
I am facing this right now in my 7th week and honestly it's so annoying! I thought pregnancy only causes constipation, so this is quite surprising. Did anyone else have loose motions instead of constipation in early weeks?
Yes, a sensitive stomach is very common in early pregnancy. After my delivery and during recovery, I realized how important hydration is for the body. Drink plenty of warm water, eat light home food, and don't hesitate to consult your doctor if you feel weak.
Oh god, I panicked so much when I had loose motions in my 8th week, thinking something was wrong with the baby! It turned out to be just hormonal. Please drink lots of fluids so you don't get dehydrated, and call your doctor if you feel dizzy or very weak.
Actually, hormone changes can either slow down your digestion or speed it up, causing loose motions. My doctor told me that sometimes pre-natal vitamins can also upset the stomach. Keep yourself hydrated, and if it is accompanied by fever, consult your gynac right away.
