Diarrhoea in pregnancy?

Does anyone know what Is safe to take for diarrhoea in early pregnancy? I have plenty of buscopan, or Imodium but google doesn’t know if I’m allowed to take them… I can’t see a doctor for over a week and need to gain hydration, any tips?

I has a list of stuff I can take given to me by my OB for different things and for that specifically Imodium is safe and tums,and for hydration i recommend water,gatorade,and pedialyte. I had a minor stomach virus while pregnant and that’s the stuff I took and drank ❤️

Definitely ask your OB next time you see them for that list of safe medications and stuff your able to take while pregnant

Bland, starchy, low-fiber foods like those included in the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) are binding, which can bulk stool and help you get rid of diarrhea fast. You can also try probiotics, glutamine supplements, or home remedies like herbal teas and rice water.

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?
