Sudden Diarrhea

I’m 21 weeks pregnant. Today I woke up with some random cramps and severe diarrhea. No other symptoms so far as I’m now normally working, but diarrhea is still there. I didn’t have diarrhea since couple of years.
Should I be concerned? Has anyone else had similar symptoms? What should I use to make it better ?

Any guidance will be appreciated 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Personally I’d go to urgent care and get evaluated, especially if you’re having more than three episodes of diarrhea a day. Last time I went I was also around 20 weeks and was sent off to labor and delivery just in case. They made sure I wasn’t dehydrated and put me on a BRAT diet until the diarrhea wore off. But then again after that day I had diarrhea daily up until a week after my baby was born.

If you don’t feel the need to go to urgent care, the BRAT diet and electrolytes definitely helped.

Bad mood

Hello all,
(12w1d here)
I recently downloaded the app because my parter said it will be better for my mood.
I’m felling quite stressed, no energy to talk a part from work. I’m not calling anymore to my friends or family, I do not even have patience or energy to reply their messages. It’s makes me feel bed about it, because I’m not like that.
Has anyone been through this?
❤️ thank you

C section hole

Hi, I am 8 weeks postpartum and I noticed one week ago a hole in scar after c section. I went to GP, they say nothing major. Has any experienced this before, any recommendations as it’s not getting any better.

C section or natural birth?

Unsure what I should choose… I have weighed up all the pros and cons and still don’t know what is best for me. I’ve heard positive and negative birth stories for both but I’m so scared and not sure what I should choose.

Elective C Section

Kensington Wing, Lindo Wing or Portlands?

Is it realistic to have a 3.5 hour drive home?

Back Issues postpartum

I’m 2 weeks post partum and was just wondering if anyone else has suffered with severe back pain at this stage? I had an epidural, but the pain down my left side is wild and I don’t know if it’s normal…
