Which medicine is best for loose motion in pregnancy?

Question

Since morning my stomach is upset and loose motion ho rahi hai, feeling so weak. Im 19 weeks and scared to take anything on my own. Will ask gynac for sure but wanted to know what others were given.

Sunita Deora · Answer

Please don't take any over-the-counter medicine for loose motions right now. When I had stomach issues, my doctor only allowed ORS and buttermilk to prevent dehydration. If it doesn't stop, check with your gynac, as keeping your strength up is very important.

I understand how worrying any physical discomfort can be during this delicate time. Please don't take any medicines without consulting your fertility clinic or doctor. Keep sipping ORS water and reach out to your doctor for a safe prescription.

That sounds so uncomfortable, hope you feel better soon! I am planning to conceive and keeping a note of these things. Did your doctor suggest any specific diet like banana or curd rice for this?

I felt so scared and weak when I got loose motions in my second trimester, I was crying thinking it would affect my baby. I immediately called my doctor, and she told me to strictly avoid taking random pills. She prescribed a safe medicine and told me to drink coconut water.

Having loose motions can cause dehydration, which is risky during pregnancy. Please do not self-medicate at all. Call your gynac immediately so they can prescribe the right, safe medicine for your condition.

Take care, dear. Praying for your quick recovery. Just drink lots of liquids like ORS or nimbu paani to stay hydrated, and let your doctor prescribe the correct medicine if needed. God bless you.
