Hey there!! So I just recently found out I am pregnant (yay). I don't know how far along I am. I am assuming around 6 or 7 weeks. The question I have is.....I have had diarrhea every time I eat. Is this normal?? I am not sure what is going on. I just snacked on a peppermint stick and NOW I have to go to the bathroom. LOL! Sorry to be gross, I am just wondering. Any opinion?

Thanks,
Danielle

Some women become constipated and some get the runs... whenever you think you've got normal symptoms other weird ones creep up, LOL! Most everything is normal except for extreme pain and bleeding. Congratulations!

I had diahrria from about a week before I found out till about 7-8 weeks pregnant. You can try the BRAT banana, rice, applesauce, toast diet for a couple days. Drink lots of water to keep hydrated.

I had the same thing up until about 10 weeks, but i had diarrhea then three days of constipation then diarrhea and i didn't take anything for it.  My doctor wasn't concerned he just said stay hydrated.

I am about 7 weeks also and last week was really bad for me on this topic. I havent gotten pukey sick or anything, just diarrhea...i called and asked my dr what to do because it was getting really bad and you can take imodium and metamucil to help, and i have had good luck with that. Hope that helps! :)
