SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

[Gerry774]

Hello Ladies.  I am 30 weeks pregnant and for the last several days I have been suffering from chronic Diahrrea, and I wanted to know if anyone has experienced this before while pregnant, and if so what have you taken to relieve it.  I went to the hospital Tuesday evening and all they did was put me on a baby monitor and gave me fluid through the IV for dehydration.  I have been experiencing alot of contractions which I think is caused by my Diahrrea.  I NEED HELP!!!.  The hospitals resident was a complete useless person.  She didnt give me any insight on what I should do, even my own GYN says it's a GI (Gastrointestinal) problem, and basically sounded like he wasn't concerned.  I hate the medical industry.  All of these docttors are so scared to get sued so they just move you onto the next doctor.  It's really pathetic.  So this leaves me basically on my own, and hopefully I can get some advice from people that might have been through this before.  The doctors are saying I could just be suffering from a stomach virus or bug, becuase nothing showed up in my blood, so please let me know what you think and what I should take, like home remedies or something......THANK YOU I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!!!

how bad is the diarrhea?  there is a bacteria called c-diff that causes bad diarrhea and we currently have an outbreak in our hospital.

Thanks.  Can you tell me how long your diarrhea lasted?  Did you see any mucous or blood in your stool?

it could easily just be a virus that will run it's course. drink plenty of clear liquids, try to avoid sugary things, if you able to tolerate clear liquids try advancing to a BRAT diet. You could try some metamucil taken with about 4 oz of fluids (taken with a smaller amt of liquid it will help slow diarrhea). Good Luck

yea their was some kind of stomach virus goin around over here like 2 wks ago and yes of course the whole house hold was infected lol
but me-myself had it the worst from and all the diahrrea was causing extreme cramps and contractions
i went the the ER and the contractions are from bein dehydrated so make sure your drinking LOTS of water and watch what your eating till everything settles
they gave me a list of certains to eat that supposed to help like oatmeal,bananas.. and drink plenty of water and warm apple juice ...sounds kinda gross but it helped me out
