Do you take any suplements? X

Get yourself some immodium or loperamind (the medication name if you want to get it cheaper from a chemist) to help solidify things. Safe in pregnancy.

Also for your sore bum use warm water and cotton wool to wipe and dab rather than wipe. Then get very friendly with your bum and put a good layer of sudocrem on your bum hole.

Sorry to be so explicit. I had a stoma reversal in January and with that comes about 12 or more weeks of loose stools and horrific bum pain from the acid in the stool. So these are just a few tips I have for you ❤️❤️ xx

Hi I’ve also had this for a while now - they just said it’s a pregnancy symptom which feels very annoying and unhelpful… but the docs do take it really seriously so you will be able to get an appt v quickly. Since I started in iron supps and omeprazole it’s helped (something to do with digestion slowing down causing acid) I hope you feel better soon xx
