We're due the same day and I've been having the same issue. I have an appointment with my doctor on Wednesday I'll ask him then if it's normal. It wasn't like this with my first so I'm not sure why it's happening.

As Long As It's Not Dehydrating You, It's Normal To Have Some. After That I Would Call Your Doctor.

I've had it pretty consistently my entire pregnancy. Biggest risk is getting dehydrated. Drink lots of water and sports drinks yo replenish those electrolytes. Bananas can help plugg you up and give you a potassium boost. Immodium is safe to take. It's harder in the later stages because baby can feel the stress of your body. I'll get braxton hicks for hours and my Dr said it's her telling me she's unhappy. Like I said hydration is key

When I was 5 to 6 weeks pregnant I had terrible diarrheas for about 1 week... Instead of gatorade or powerade I used coconut water to replace the liquid and electrolytes. And water, lots of water.

Nothing I should worry about? Just let it run its course?

Your body may just be cleaning itself out.  It's common in pregnancy and doesn't necessarily mean it's bad or that somethings wrong.
