Been having a bit of an upset stomach these days and im in my first trimester. not sure if its the pregnancy or something i ate. does this happen to others too?
I experienced this too, especially near my third trimester as my body was preparing for labor. Keep yourself well hydrated with coconut water or ORS to maintain your fluids, which is so important. If you have severe cramping or fever with it, please call your gynac immediately.
Hormones can definitely upset your digestive system, causing loose motions. During those days, I paused my daily walks and prenatal yoga, which I only did after my doctor's approval anyway, to give my body rest. Drink lots of water and check with your doc if you feel weak or dizzy.
Yes, it can happen sometimes because of hormonal changes or changes in diet. When I was staying at my mom's place, my mother used to give me fresh buttermilk with roasted cumin to soothe my stomach, which helped a lot. But please check with your doctor if it goes on for more than a day, as dehydration is not good.
Oh, the digestive roller coaster of pregnancy! I had crazy bouts of both constipation and loose motion back then, and my toddler now has the exact same stomach mood swings. Don't worry, it's very normal, just stick to simple khichdi and curd. But definitely consult your doctor if it's severe or doesn't stop.
