Hi! I am now 24 weeks pregnant and for more than a week I have been dealing with loose stool. It started the night after my son’s birthday, I just assumed I had been eating too much junk from the party, but I kept having loose stool, sometimes really bad.
I sent an email to my OBGYN 2 days ago and she said to stop vitamins and that is probably food borne.
I just had sort of a loose stool again, and I am worried it could be something bacterial and affect the baby. Has anyone gone through something like this?

I had the same problem in my previous pregnancy with possible food poisoning - if you’re not dehydrated, losing weight or have a fever then you and baby should be okay. Mine resolved in about a week and a half - really sucked but yeah wasn’t much to do for it. You can ask the doctor to take a stool sample if it is still watery diarrhea. For now keep up with your fluids and starchy foods to slow things down!
