Loose stools

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm new to this forum. Am currently 13 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing loose stools on and off ( sorry that I have to be so gross in my first post! ). It is not diarrhea, but rather loose, unformed stools. I just wonder whether this is normal and if any mommies-to-be are experiencing/ have experienced this?

I haven't changed my eating habits, I take lots of fluids and eat 4-5 servings of veges/ fruits a day, in addition to high-fiber carbs. No stomach rumbling or abdominal cramps, no apparent change in bowel movement schedule.....just unformed stools every few days which started since last week.

I'm seeing my ob/gyn this weekend and will ask her about it, but in the mean time, it would be helpful if anyone who's had a similar experience can share. I just need some reassurance that there's no need for me to give an emergency call to my ob/gyn ( please, don't post anything that'll scare me. :angry::lol: )

TIA!

Look, thanks but I'm not looking for the "Go see your doctor immediately instead of waiting" advice.

Sorry if I come acoss as off-puttish but I can't help not feeling frustrated when I see this kind of a reply.

All I want to know is if anyone's ever experienced this before and to share. I don't need a I've-not-been-thru-this-before-but-u-better-go-see-doctor. I definitely know when to have an emergency visit if I experience anomalies like cramping or even mild pain.

Anyone to share, please?

hi marlene, welcome to the forum & congrats on yr expected bb.

i had something similar during 1 phase of my pregnancy, it was just very easy to poop & no pain also perhaps pooped 2x per day instead of 1x. lasted for a few days, less than a week. then everythg went back to normal. heheh, should hv enjoyed it while it last, coz at the later stage had mild constipation problem!! loose stool was much better. :dry:

Marlene, having loose stool is a blessing to some extent. If you don't have cramps or abdominal pains that accompany this, I see no cause for concern. Just enjoy it while it lasts, ya?
