Q: Diarrhea During Pregnancy

Please help!
I am 12 weeks. Since week nine I have been having diarrhea at times and I heard it can affect the growing of the baby.
I cannot eat anything other than rice and bread or very mild food.
Even spaghetti with meatballs, orange juice or milk upsets my stomach.
Is it normal? I never had this problem before pregnancy. Also, I am afraid of eating anything else. Any ideas?

Don't Worry Too Much

I had a miscarriage so saying don't worry almost makes me laugh, I know women inherintly worry about their babies. Anyhow, I am only about 2 weeks pregnant and I kinda have diarea (sorry, I can't spell). My aunt in law was so sick for the first 15 weeks of her first 2 pregnancies that she was in the hospital with a feeding tube and she has 2 beautiful little boys, perfectly health! If you can't stop vomiting or cannot control your bowels go to the hospital but vomiting and diarea are very very very common

Thanks for that, I'm soon to be 34 with 1 child, 11 years. We've been trying for a year and now I've had light pinkish discharge and diarrhea that wont quit. I'm thinking i may be, but dont want to get excited. I'll just wait to see if aunt flo decides to visit.
