Diarrhea/upset stomach starting in 8th month...

Anonymous
I thought I had a bug last week from DC #1's daycare, but it hasn't gone away. I'm not sure if I have IBS or something like that, but have had diarrhea since entering month 8 of pregnancy. Yesterday I took one Immodium (OB okay'd it and said to take one, rather than 2) and it didn't do a thing. I was wondering if this can be common as some women may be more susceptible to the hormonal changes? It's very uncomfortable and I am having to be extra vigilant about fluid intake, because OB said slight dehydration can cause contractions...

Can you switch to a more "BRAT" diet--bananas, (white) rice, applesauce, toast and see if that helps?

Hope you feel better soon!
