mla1209 6 Report post Posted April 21, 2019 Sorry for the TMI. I am 3 mos pregnant and have been constipated for the most part. I have a bowel movement every 3 to 4 days. After 3 days of no BM, I had 1 yesterday, although very small. Today I had a rather satisfying, solid bowel movement which made me believe I had gotten rid of everything. After 2 hours I felt the urgency and almost didn't make it. I had loose stools mixed with solid ones. Less than 30 mins after I had another one and it's watery again. I'm so scared of having diarrhea while pregnant. Has anyone ever experienced this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark G 1176 Report post Posted April 21, 2019 One thing i will say to you about constipation is that, if it becomes too 'backed up', your body starts to break it down to make room. This is why you normally have a solid movement followed by varying degrees of soft or diarrhoea movements. That's perfectly normal 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just had some toasted bread and Gatorade and so far, knock on wood, no diarrhea yet. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
