Upset stomach?

[lisa1985]

Is anyone else suffering bad with this since becoming pregnant? I am 8 weeks and have on/off diarrhea every couple of days, usually around 3 times during the day. Thought we were supposed to be constipated!!!
Am worried I am going to become dehydrated as really struggling to drink enough as is it with the nausea.

I had diarrhea from a few days before getting my bfp (say about 4 wks) until around 9 weeks, week 4-7 was probably a couple of times a day then it died down a bit to once every couple of days. I am 14 weeks tomorrow and havent had it now at all for around 3 wks (fingers crossed).
Alhough constipation is more common, diarrhea is a common symptom in early pregnancy, the hormones can cause your digestive system to speed up in our case or slow down and cause constipation.
I was lucky not to have any nausea or sickness whatsoever but u will need to make sure u keep yourself dehydrated, if it gets extreme or u think u arent keeping enough fluids in then see ur GP as dehydration can be really dangerous for the developing baby!
Good luck x
