Is this normal?
This is an odd question, but this is the first time I have ever been pregnant, and I keep changing from being constipated to having diarrhea. I know this is a personal question, but I could not find anything online. Is this normal? I know constipation is due to the prenatal vitamins and my body slowly digesting food to give the baby nutrients, but I am very unsure why is it changing so much. One week I'll be constipated and the next the complete opposite. Anything will help, tips, or even if you had this problem. I just don't know if it is normal or not.

I have been experiencing the same thing with this pregnancy (lately its been swinging more toward diarhea). Think it can be due to hormonal fluctuations. I also have IBS though and am very sensitive to what I eat. Maybe you also have a sensitive stomach? Regardless, pregnancy can heighten these tendencies. Hope you feel better.
I believe it's your body de toxing due to the increase of vitamins. The increase of progesterione can cause constipation. So. Even though I know it's very uncomfortable and inconvenient , I dont think there is anything wong, points to normality to me.
