Hi guys! I’m 5w4d pregnant right now and for the past week or so I keep getting an upset stomach/diarrhoea predominately in the mornings and don’t know why. I never tend to suffer with this. Anyone else found this in early pregnancy? Any idea why? Should I be worried lol?

Changes to your bowels in early pregnancy and throughout is completely normal. It’s all linked to the changes in your hormones. Some people find they have loose bowels and others that they’re constipated. I struggle with the latter and it can be scary! But certainly diarrhoea is not harmful to babe just try and keep well hydrated as best you can x
thanks lovely. I think it’s mostly the little stomach cramps you get with it that make me worry. I’m like, is this my bowel or baby? 🥺 if that makes sense lol x

Makes total sense! Try not to worry so much, I know it’s difficult x

I had this around the 5 week stage. I’m now 7+2 and gone the other way. Not sure which is worse!
