Is it common for women that is pregnant to have diarrhea?
I’m 20 years old and found out a couple of weeks ago that I’m pregnant and. I wanted to know is diarrhea common for pregnancy. And can you sleep on your stomach when you 6 weeks pregnant sorry for all the question my first baby.
Some digestive upset is normal in the first few months of pregnancy. Nausea is more common but diarrhea isn’t unheard of. The important thing is to keep yourself very well hydrated if you’re having issues with diarrhea. It should go away shortly as the hormones from early pregnancy settle out. If it doesn’t stop soon I would go see your doctor. You can sleep on your belly for the first few months at least. When your belly starts getting in the way it’s better to sleep on your left side but not your back because sleeping on your back puts pressure on your veins and can lead to decreased blood flow to the placenta. As long as you’re comfortable on your tummy in the first few months then you’re fine.
Loose stools can be normal, yes. If it’s persistent and watery and or accompanied by abdominal cramping then you may have a stomach bug or a case of food poisoning. And yes you can sleep on your stomach clear up to the second trimester as long as it’s comfortable. Once you start showing big time though, you’ll want to switch to your side.
