is pooping a lot normal during early pregnancy?

[Anonymous]

I had a lot of diarrhea during early pregnancy. OB said it was unusual but not unheard of as a symptom, and to keep her apprised at our visits since it is also a sign of preterm labor. Had a normal pregnancy though!

I was never constipated during the pregnancy either. Now, post-partum. jesus. that's another story.

Yes, I got loose bowels as a form of morning sickness both times around. I have mild IBS when not pregnant, though, so this may not be super common, though I've heard of it before. In fact, I think there have been other threads about this.

Yes, OP, it was ridiculous when I got pregnant. I felt like every time I peed I pooped too.

My situation exactly. I had these huge poops that would make me feel faint right after, Now in my second trimester I'm constipated, despite drinking lots of water & having granola or muesli for breakfast daily. I used to eat bran flakes with sultanas a lot in my first tri..maybe I need to go back to that.

I'm feeling the same thing I poop 4 -5 times daily. Cramps in my stomach, feel bloated. I'm tired and sleepy.The waiting to find out if there is a bun in the oven or not its driving me nuts.

I'm going through an early pregnancy, and I'm glad I can relate to this. I have been pooping at least 3 to 4 times a day haha a lot of people go through morning sickness but I guess this is another kind of morning sickness? I would be super gassy throughout the day and just have upset stomach and poop a lot!
