Since morning im having loose motions, 3-4 times already and feeling weak. Im 5 months along so getting little tension. Should i be worried, planning to call my gynac if it continues.
Don't ignore loose motions because severe dehydration might lead to an emergency hospital admission, which can cost a lot. It is much cheaper and safer to just call your gynac now and get a quick prescription.
My mother told me to have light curd rice, which really helps soothe the stomach. But since dehydration is a risk in pregnancy, my doctor insisted on checking in if it lasts more than a day. Please consult your gynac.
When I had loose motions, I immediately called my care coordinator at the hospital. They advised me to drink plenty of fluids and come in for a checkup if it didn't stop in 24 hours. Definitely consult your medical team right away.
Beta, do not let your body get weak. Drink ORS water or light buttermilk with a pinch of salt, but please show it to the doctor soon if it does not stop.
My kid is a toddler now, but I remember having a bad stomach bug during my pregnancy. It was scary, but drinking plenty of fluids and getting timely treatment from my doctor sorted it out quickly. Don't worry, just check with your gynac once.
Dehydration from loose motions can affect your amniotic fluid levels, so please be careful. Since I had gestational diabetes, my doctor told me to stick to unsweetened buttermilk and plain water rather than sugary juices. Call your doctor for advice.
Occasional loose stool is common due to hormonal changes, but if it happens more than 3 times a day, it can cause severe dehydration. Don't waste time; call your doctor's assistant and ask if you need to take ORS or if they want to prescribe something.
Honestly, loose motion is not something to ignore during pregnancy because it can lead to dehydration very fast. Please contact your gynac immediately and don't take any home remedies without their permission.
Oh, I am currently in my 5th month and also had this last week! It is so scary. Did your doctor suggest any safe ORS powder or did they ask you to get a stool test done?
I panicked so much when I had loose motions in my second trimester, thinking it would harm the baby! My doctor reassured me that as long as I kept drinking fluids like ORS and took the prescribed safe medicine, the baby was perfectly fine. Just call your doctor to stay safe.
