sickness in EARLY pregnancy

[Anonymous]

just had my blood test monday and confirmed i was pregnant... not been feeling real well but the worst is that i've had awful diaherra for a day or so... is this a sign of the early pregnancy or just a coincidence?

Sounds like a coincidence to me, but you never know. Take it easy & good luck on the pregnancy.

I am 5 weeks pregnant and the same thing happened to me 2 days ago. I think it's related to the pregnancy. I think it's normal to have tummy problems, constipation, diarrhea...etc, that sort of thing, when you are pregnant.

Sorry OP. I am currently 21 weeks and still feeling gross and sick. Crackers, lime soda from Whole Foods (made with sugar, not corn syrup) and bland pasta with cheese helps me.

All you have to remember is that every pregnancy is different and what you are feeling is unique to you. Good luck!

I found ginger chews and ginger snacks to be a life saver...they sell them at Trader Joe's. Every pregnancy is different and lots of women aren't nauseated. Try to find a few foods that really appeal to you (or at least don't make you gag)...I found that cheese, juice, steak and peanut sauce were my go to foods! Who knew! I lost a few pounds during my frist trimester...also normal. Just keep your doctor informed and s/he will tell you want to do. One thing...certain tummy meds are not ok during pregnancy so ask your doctor about that, too.
