Omg Not Again :( !!

[scaredmum2be]

Sorry for TMI but im getting very p off with this now.
The other morning i woke up with dodgy guts and now today it aint happened since the other day an its suddently come on again twice .

Im thinking this is now what ive got to deal with whilst being preg an i never got told any of this, i wouldnt even class it as a stomach bug after one day of not going toilet at all so wtf is wrong with me.??

please tell me i aint got to live like this for whole 6 months? ive been taking imodium tabs an i get dehydrated because of them tablets x

ahh hun, maybe its something youre eating that youre a little sensitive to? When youre pregnant your body becomes more sensitive so could be? Can you think of anything you ate yesterday that you ate before it happened last time too? The most common culprits are dairy and wheat. Pretty hard to avoid actually but might be worth a try for a week. Just make sure you get calcium from soya milk etc if you do exclude dairy from your diet. And drink loads of water!! Hope you find out whats causing it, you dont wanna live with this til august!

Who prescribed you imodium during pregnancy? I didn't think you could have imodium during pregnancy?

I would see a dr and see what they say and also quit the imodium

Hey all,
my hubby got them for me from the local garage as i needed something to help me stop ive only had 4 out of the pack well i had 2 the other day an then obviously today ive had the craps again an took them again thinking it helped me

I am however dissapointed in myself because ive just read the prescription thingy leaflet from the packet because it doesnt say on the packet its self not to have when pregnant.

It just says i should ask me doctor but realised after id taken them but they havent seemed to have worked although the tabs have been making me dehydrated.

Im angry with myself now would i have done any damage to baby??? am now panick oh no wat the hell am i guna do ??? there is no point in ringing midwife as ive stopped taking them and wont be taking them again.
So ive got to carry on having the craps an i dunno some help please sorry lol xx

Don't panic, just don't take any more. I think it's more that there's no evidence to suggest they are safe (and in a lot of cases that is because it's impossible to test medicine on pregnant women to show that it is ok to use) rather than that they are known to cause harm.

Hope you feel better soon

Hope you feel better soon and dont worry too much hun, Im sure its just cos it hasnt been tested so you should be cautious. To be honest immoduim isnt great for your health. If you've got the runs its cos your body is trying to get rid of a bug. Immodium stops your body doing that so you'll have the bug for longer. Its obviously useful if youre going on a long car journey or got a meeting/work but really the best thing if youre home and by a toilet is to just ride it out!! Sorry bout that!! And your hydration really must be a priority. hope youre better now xxx

 

[Mamafy]

Don't panic hun, the reason there's nothing on the leaflet is because they've done no research on it but they're not recommended. Even a person not pg, shouldn't take imodium for over 24 hours without seeing a dr.

Get yourself to a dr hun, best way

 

[*Hope*]

Dont worry i accidentally had some strepsils before i knew they werent safe in pregnancy, and touch wood my baby is doing ine and was dancing around happily at my scan afterwards

but like the others said. if your home just ride out the runs lol.

also, i have had what your having a lot in my pregnancy and my midwife said diarhoea is just as common as consptipation in pregnancy. just make sure you eat well and drink plenty of fruit juice or water xx

 

[scaredmum2be]

The wierd thing was it only happened 2wice this morning an that was it wat the hell is wrong ? lol why does it only happen few times then stop yes it is a good thing but i cant think of what ive had to make my tummy not like the food i eat yet lol x

 

[titch]

you'll work it out eventually!!! Hope its sooner rather than later

Can you not take strepsils when pregnant?? lolx
is there nothing you can take when pregnant my OH asked haha x

 

[scaredmum2be]

I have shreddies for breakfast an some spicey wedges the yesterday for dinner. be at bit wierd if it was the wedges but there not that spicey either lolx

could be the milk with your cereal? People who are lactose intollerant get reactions like this. Might have flared up cos of pregnancy? COuld you try buying a carton of soya milk for the week and seeing if it helps?

 

[scaredmum2be]

I tend to have milk in my tea an that seems ok n the only milk i can only seem to have because i dont like any other milk is the green milk an if i cudnt have that then im stuffed calcium wise aint i .
I didnt think i would get this because i never had it with the last pregnancy.

i think when i see my midwife on the 16th feb which seems like ages away but if i rang her she would prob say its nothing an then moan about my weight being low because ive had the craps lol.. i cant win lol xx

 

[titch]

Hun i dont eat dairy. I have soya milk and drink fruit teas so dont need milk. i've been buying the soya yoghurts too since i've been pregnant. they add calcium to them. Yeah i wouldnt recommend cutting out dairy without replacing it with an alternative!

Lactose intollerance can start at any time in life Im afraid. Id mention it to your midwife definately and ask her what she thinks. Just if you dont want to wait its a simple experinent to switch to soya milk ofr a few days see what happens then switch back to see if that changes anything.

I'ld see ur dr hun, hope u get thing settled soon

 

[scaredmum2be]

Ty hun i will keep an eye on wat i eat an make a note to give to me midwife. am knackered tonight thanks all xx

 

[*Hope*]

It might be nothing your eating, as i said, the modwife said to me diarhoea is really common just like constipation and its because your muscles in your tummy are all relaxed by certain hormones at the moment and the thing thats affected most is your bowels. thats why so many people are constipated and it isnt due to what they ate.

I have it lots of days and not others. seriously it is just a normal symptom unless you are really feeling ill or in pain with it etc x

 

[scaredmum2be]

i get tummy pain with it when it occurs. my brother has got it :O shame he isnt preg lol x
