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!

Same here I am 9 weeks I have not been able to go to the bathroom #2 and today i ate some fast food but it was a turkey sandwich and curly fries and my stomach started to turn and I rushed to the bathroom and had bad diarrhea and I could not take the smell so I vomited every where. That was so weird I was doing #2 and vomiting at the same time and my son and husband were looking at me like omg are you ok.

Hi Everyone..I would just like to say that the vomitting and diarrhea during pregnancy is not normal. I am recently pregnant with my 3rd child and have had many complications and have lost a baby that was full term. During my 2nd pregnancy I had the same symptoms and one of the conclusions was that I had really low potassium. This caused me to camp out in the bathroom for days..and finally I went to the ER..first they came back to tell me it was a stomach flu..and I disagreed..I didn't have anyone around me at all with a stomach virus...after all said and done..I was filled with fluids for 24 hrs. My doctor told me the number one sign of low potassuim is that your bowl movements smell deadly..and believe me you'll know..I understand everyone gets diarrhea here and there during pregnancy but it should not last more then 3 days and it should not be liquid. Some other things that I experienced with the same symptoms where preeclampsia which my doctors did not catch and the result was my still born baby..also kindey failure, hyperemesis, and complications with your liver or gallbladder. I think if anyone has persistant symptoms you should seek a 2nd opion.

I have this too. It ***** and its about the 3rd time I have gotten it during my pregnancy. My Dr SUGGESTED to take Pepto & Tylenol for my fever and that seemed to help. Now its just me, my gatorade, and the porcelain goddess.

My wife is pregnant first time. She is in 7th week. On Monday she was terrible with loose motion and vomiting. After doc suggested Periset MD tab. Loose motions has stopped. Tuesday and Wensday she was ok. But Today again she vomit whatever she has eaten. Motion is ok now. She is also suffering from pian under ribs (upper part of abdomen). She is also facing pain lower left side of adbdomen. But lower left side pain comes and goes. I do not know what to do. Doc says it is natural. I am more worried about her vomiting at this stage. I am alone at home to take care of her. I am in distress please suggest whether these symptoms are common or anything very serious about it.

Firstly, I hope everyone is feeling better. The first 2 comments have the best info minus the pepto bismal. If its dangerous for your baby you shouldn't take it. I'm 38 weeks and never had morning sickness but had a stomach bug for 24 hrs. My doctor suggested imodium ad for the diahrea and lots of fluids to avoid dehydration. I continuously drank water until my vomit was clear and then tried chicken noodle soup & ginger ale. I started to feel better soon after. Please remember water is very important all the while. Hope this helps.

I'm 20 weeks' pregnant and am just getting over a stomach bug (vomiting and diarrhea). In a little more than 24 hours I lost half the weight that I have gained since being pregnant. Normally that would make me happy, but not now. If you do not have a fever and are not seeing blood in your stool or vomit, then the best thing to do is to just stay hydrated with clear fluids and broth and rest a lot. Do not overdo it on sugary drinks, though, because that could irritate your system. Fruit juice mixed with water is ok. Once you can keep the fluids down, eat a little plain white rice or some white bread. Nothing with much fiber. I managed to keep rice and Eggo waffles down. But definitely keep the fluids coming. The baby should be just fine.
