Diarrhoea - help!

[mermaid]

I was up for most of last night with the worst ever runs! I had terrible stomach cramps with it too. Still not feeling right today. I thought I was coping with the nausea and it was dying down.Now I wonder if the diarrhoea is related to the hormone levels in my body? I seem to recall having a bit of this earlier on. I'm scared to eat much and wonder when it will pass.

Hi sorry you feel so rough.
Right dont worry so much about the eating side of things but increase your fluids by a considerable amount at least 2 litres or more. The diarrohea will not hurt babe but obviousley can cause dehydration. Just rest as much as you can and drink plenty and it should pass within the next 24 hours. if your stools are an unusual colour (greeny-very pale and slimey) then seek medical advice. If normal stools but horrid smelling (more so than normal,lol) then is a bug or something you have eaten has disagreed with you. Dont panick too much and I can guarantee you will feel better tomorrow. Try to keep cool and have a cool bath.
Take care
Bex

Thanks for replying to my horrid topic! lol
I think it is a result of the hormone levels, seems to have come on real bad these last couple of days. I thought I must have got past the worst of it by now! Obviously not though.

don't worry mermaid i have had diarrhoea on and off so far throughout and i was told it was hormones etc, i was looking after a girl at work with samonella before i found out what she had as well and was crapping my pants, but i have had it from the beginning so im putting it down to hormones, when i feel nauseous more often then not as well i have really bad diarrhoea, my morning sickness is coming out of my bottom!!

Lol ! I was peeing out of both ends too rusks! Oh it is all fun and games in the early days! I read that the hormone levels peak between 9 and 12 weeks so I guess that is why I feel at my worst.

Got my dating scan tomorrow so looking forward to that.

by the way when i said i was crapping y pants i didn't mean literally its not quite that bad!!!!!!!!
