The big D (TMI)

This is so gross...however, all the pregnancy books say you may have constipation. HA, not me, I get the big D, on and off for two days now, with cramps. The cramps are above the belly button, so they don't freak me out as much as more period like cramps would. Still, this is very uncomfortable and inconvinient. Has anyone had an experience like this? Could it be a bad sign (worry, worry)?

Andrea,


Well here is some TMI for you!! When I was pregnant one day I could have rock hard stuff and then the next it could be D for a week. I think that you are totally normal!

Its totally normal. Some people end up with constipation, some with diarrhea and others (like you and I!) end up with a combination. Our bodies are in fluid production mode and sometimes in the 1T, our body produces too much fluid that the baby doesn't really need cause its so small, so then you end up with diarrhea. Well, thats what my midwife told me. I'm nearly 35 weeks and it still happens like that sometimes.

I've had the combo deal as well... have been told by many that it's just hormonal changes. No worries...of course always if you're worried about something check with your doctor. Feel better soon!
