Pregnant w/ diarrhea and vomiting at the same time.

[Lynette1214]

I am Pregnant with my second child. I never had morning sickness with the first and with this one, still not too morning sickness but for the third time now I have had vomiting and diarrhea at the same time happening. I thought it had to do with what I was eating, because the first 2 times it happened after having fast food (which I rarely do anyways), but this last time it happened shortly after eating eggs, toast and fruit. I told my doctor after the first 2 times and she agreed that maybe it was just too much grease, but now that theory is thrown out the window. It comes on very quickly, with a starting feeling like I just have to go to the bathroom and then followed with severe stomch pain and vomiting & diarrhea. Then sweating and chills, leaving my skin extremely itchy, but everything is usually gone within 1 hour just leaving me feeling weak. Has anymore ever heard of this before? I appreaciate any suggestions or recommendations. Thanks!

I had my gallbladder removed in 07 before my son was born in 09. This is my second pregnancy and it is nothing like the first. My gal-bag removal didn't bother me with the first. I had little morning sickness and never vomited or had diarrhea. This time around it's horrid!! I have pain under my left rib cage, extreene nausia, fatigue, diarrhea and I just started the vomiting.
I have no answers other than I have gone to the dr and they haven't been able to do much. I have a tummy ultrasound for next week and if they tell me something helpful I make sure to post it.
Dr did say that since I had my gal-bag removed it could be bile dumping, might check into that too.
I'd say if it keeps up longer than two-three weeks check with the drs. Even though they can't do much since we are pregnant!

Every pregnancy is different. Morning sickness can be horrible in early pregnancy - I went off meat and sweet foods completely and couldn't keep hardly anything down but it settled after a few months. the trick is to find things that you can keep down and stick with them. Try and eat sensibly and avoid grease and acidic foods. Diarrheoa in late pregnancy is also normal - your body will begin to regularly clear out the digestive system as it prepares for labour - some women will find that bouts of loose motions are accompanied by sickness. this can even be caused by that baby beginning to engage. As the baby is fully grown at this late stage of pregnancy their movements apply pressure to organs. If they are beginning to engage sometimes this applies pressure to the bowels causing a flush out. Similarly women may find that the loose motions are accompanied by the loss of the mucus plug - maybe later on in the day or a few days later. If there are other symptoms like loss of the mucus plug then the loose motions are most likely the body preparing for labour. In first time mums the body can begin to prepare as early as 35 weeks - it takes time and doesn't all happen fast like on the TV. As constipation is common in pregnancy a sudden flush out is often the body's way of regaining the balance. If however the diarrheoa is very severe and lasts for several days without stopping it is only sensible to contact your GP or midwife. If it comes and goes and you can still get some food down then take it as a sign of things progressing. Braxton Hicks can also set off loose bowel movements so if you have any tightening of the abdomen try and walk about, empty your bladder and drink water - the Braxton Hicks should subside and this should help the bowel movements. Unfortunately pregnancy does have some nasty aspects but just remember that however grim you feel the baby is hanging on in there - your body will deal with them first so if you are dehydrated and havent eaten for a while the body will take your reserves (fat stores etc) and ensure the baby is nourished - its you that will suffer not them! Good luck to all who are suffering the dodgy stuff and congratulations to all expectant mums!

I have been experiencing the same thing over the past 24 hours.  I am 38 weeks pregnant and I threw up multiple times last night and have had diarrhea constantly.  I have not had any morning sickness throughout my whole pregnancy and as a matter of fact have not vomited in almost 7-8 years  I called my birth center and they said that it does not sound pregnancy related.  I have read some other forums online that have said that this is an indication that labor will be starting.  I guess I will find out here shortly...good luck and I hope you feel better.
