Has anyone had really bad loose stools during their pregnancy? I had it a little with Sarah, but then after I was put on iron I got constipated and went off of them. But thankfully, the loose stools didn't return.
You'd think I was eating a ton of greasy food instead of my usual diet of whole wheat, fruits & vegies and meat(oh and now saltines..white flour there). I've even tried drinking more milk and at least a banana a day (well at least a half of a banana dd eats half of my banana lol). I broke down and bought white rice today (we usually eat brown rice).
I'm going to mention this on Monday at my appt. But does anyone have any suggestions in the meantime? I've actually lost 5 1/2 lbs this week...and its not from dieting.

This always happened to me in the beginning stages of pregnancy too. Any major hormonal changes cause that with me. Sorry, hon.

Dawn, it happens with me in every single pg! The only thing that helped me (well some) was the same BRAT diet you would use for Sarah (remember -banana, rice, applesauce, toast ). Looks like you are doing already that... Definitely ask your Dr. about that on Monday! Sorry you have this...

Yes, I have and still do sometimes. I've never lost any weight though. Maybe you could mention it to your dr and see what he/she says.

OMG!!!! I think we need to write down our symptoms cuz we have like the same ones!! In addition to morning sickness (not only in the morning anymore) I have the loose stools too. I was freaking out for a couple days. Please, do ask on Monday so maybe we can have some relief! Anyone know what a hemmoroid feels like...cuz I swear I might already have one from all the pooping!
