Diarrhea anyone?

Has anyone experienced explosive Diarrhea during early pregnancy? Just wanting to know if it's normal or not. I'm 4 weeks pregnant I rang my doctors and he said I can't take anything for it but iv had it for over a week now, anything I eat I'm running to the toilet the next morning, I'm drinking water constantly too. Anyone eles had this before?

I've never heard of explosive before even though small changes in bowel movements is normal. Diarrhea for that long is worrying, be careful and check with a doctor again, maybe?

@Olivia I just put in the word explosive lol and I did speak to my doctor and he said it will pass and just keep drinking water but I'm concerned because iv had it a full week now, at first I thought it was the vitamins so iv stopped taking them now but I still have it, I also have the horrible flu that's going around so maybe it could be that too..

@Olivia my doctor said it should be OK aslong as their is no blood, but what ever I eat I'm running to the toilet its awful, iv had 2 pregnancies and never experienced this before iv always been constipated, however iv had 3 mc and they all started with D so I'm so so afraid and I mentioned this to my doctor, but he did say if I start to bleed her can prescribe me progesterone

Do you happen to take high dose folic acid by any chance?

@Alana no I take the normal dose for pregnancy

@Natalie oh okay. I was reading that higher doses of folic acid can cause diarrhoea, so thought I would ask

Yes I did have it for at least 4-5 days

Yep! Happened to me too!! Definitely talk to your doctor. But just make sure you stay hydrated too :)
