Diarrhea & Nausea...why Is the End of Preg. So Yucky? Posted: 12-06-07 13:14pm
I'm 39 weeks pregnant. I have been having
diarrhea & loose BMs and nausea off
and on for several weeks now. Lately, it
has gotten even worse. Yesterday, I threw
up again from the nausea and this diarrhea
has been constant since yesterday...must
have been 4 times yesterday and already
twice today...yuck! I wish labor would
start already. The diarrhea makes me
afraid to leave the house.

At the end of pregnancy your hormone
levels are starting to shift. Some of
them do effect the looseness of bowel
movements. It's the same ones that can
make you occasionally constipated earlier
on. This doesn't mean that you don't have
a shakey case of the flu.
Right now you should be concerned with
dehydration. Diarrhea is very wearing,
but to have vomiting on top of that is a
cause for concern. Drink plenty of water,
or electrolyte enhanced water to keep
yourself hydrated. You should also
mention your symptoms to your doctor if
they are really bad, since she might want
to prescribe a medication to slow your
bowel movements down.

I've been having a lot of lose stools, and
diahrea too. And for some reason the last
couple days it's been HORRIBLE pain when i
pee. Not like infection wise, but just
pressure wise. It's bad. I know i'm a
couple weeks behind you, but i feel my end
is near. It'll be over soon for you. But i
feel your pain!

It's natures way of cleaning you out
before you go into labor. It won't be
long now. Hope you feel better soon.
