Trying to conceive and this month my stomach has been off, going to washroom way more than usual. Period not due for few days. Could this actually be a sign or am i just overthinking yaar?
I remember going through this and feeling so embarrassed to ask anyone about it. Your body is going through an absolute storm of changes right now, so please don't feel weird. Just take rest and be kind to yourself.
I totally panicked and thought I got a severe stomach bug during my first trimester! But my doctor told me that hormonal changes can sometimes speed up digestion instead of slowing it down. It went away on its own after a few weeks, so relax.
Ugh, dealing with stomach issues alongside morning sickness is the worst combination. Just make sure you stay hydrated with ORS or coconut water because frequent loose stools can make you very weak. Keep your meals extremely bland and simple.
When I had this, my MIL made me eat curd and rice (dahi bhaat) to soothe my stomach naturally. She said it's just the body cleansing itself due to new hormones. It really worked for me, so try keeping your food light.
Yes, sudden hormone shifts can definitely alter your bowel movements. However, if it's actually diarrhea or accompanied by cramps and fever, please consult your doctor. Staying hydrated is key during this time.
In my early weeks, I felt so confused because instead of constipation, my stomach was actually quite upset! Hormones act up in weird ways. I felt so anxious thinking something was wrong, but it's actually quite common.
Haha, pregnancy hormones do whatever they want to your body! While most moms complain about constipation, some of us have the opposite issue. Just enjoy the easy bowel movements while they last! 😉
