I was told it was the progesterone, which just loosens everything up....

It's just vomiting through your butt. Think of it as another kind of "morning sickness".

I had it until 12 weeks. You can stop taking prenatal vitamins- they are hard to stomach- for a few weeks and take folic acid and slow-release iron as separate supplements.

Op here. Thanks for the responses. Hopefully it won't last the whole nine months :/

I had this through the first trimester and some of the second with my last 2 pregnancies.

Eat some yogurt and make sure you're drinking enough water. I had this, too, but it stopped around 7 weeks. And by stopped I mean STOPPED and turned into constipation. I'm not sure which is worse.

I'm with you ladies too! I literally said to my husband last night that I would give anything for a bought of diarrhea right about now. LOL. Something I never thought I'd say. =)

Ha! 19 weeks here and going strong. The only slight improvement is that once in a while it skips a morning, so I probably have it 4 out of 5 mornings. Agree it's better than vomiting, though.

I had diarrhea the whole 40 weeks with my two previous pregnancies. This time, constipation. Pregnancy is just a fucked-up time, there's no other way to put it.

Don't stop taking your prenatals! Especially if you have no other folic acid source.

It's very normal. I had diarrhea every morning for 4-5 weeks with both pregnancies, it's just how my body reacted to the hormones instead of vomiting.

No suggestions, just ride it out.

I have switched prentals, not taken any for two days, tried to eat differently but to no avail. I wake up in the morning and have diarrhea. Does anyone have any suggestions or have been through this??
