warning--this is gross!

Anonymous
Sorry for TMI but wanted to see if anyone else experienced this. I am at the end of first trimester and I am noticing a pattern of not going to the bathroom for a few days and then having diarrhea? Is this normal?

double check with OB but i think it is, your hormones shift sooo much with each trimester, and every system is affected! make sure you are eating consistent diet with high fiber, etc, tons of protein, fluids, etc and take your multi, but i bed your body will regulate itself soon enough. i remember a phase in second trimester where i had BM's like 3x/day then it totally was the opposite beginning 3rd trimester, a bit "stopped up",...isnt it fun (jk)!!!

Check with your doc of course, but like the PP said, the hormones completely create havoc on the GI tract. For most gals, it causes constipation, but for others it can be just the opposite.
