Is diarrhea common in the third trimester?

I'm at the start of my third trimester and without being too crude, I have had liquid stools for the last 4/5 days. I mentioned it to the midwife a few days ago and she appeared to be surprised and said if it continued to contact my GP or a midwife, at this point it had been happening for 2 days minimum. Is this normal?

Extremely vivid nightmares?

I’m currently 7 weeks PP and the wee one has been going through his 6-8 week crisis so I’m extra tired but the last couple of nights I’ve started having horribly and extremely vivid nightmares all related to baby - to the point I will wake up talking or crying or doing sudden movements. Anyone experienced something similar? Tonight I didn’t even remember falling asleep in between feeds and almost thought I had woken the baby up from how badly I jerked

Incomplete week 20 scsn

Hi ladies, I had my week 20 scan yesterday (I was exactly w20 + 0). However, the scan couldnt be completed as they couldnt take photos/measure properly due to baby’s position.
They are still left to check Cranium, Face, Heart and Brain.
They asked me to walk for 10 mins, but baby’s position changed further - making it more difficult to check.

I am going on a holiday for 3 weeks (from week 21+3 to week 24+5).
I asked them to rebook just before I take a flight (week 20+6).

I am worried what if they cant complete checks before I go on leave? Options:
• I can cancel my holiday (worst case)
• Get a private scan in London. (Week 21 + 1). Hope NHS will accept this.
• Get a private scan oversead during my holiday. Hope NHS will accept this.

I have started to do excercises to change baby’s position - cat cow, hip stretching, walking, rolling on pregnancy ball. I dont know how else I can change baby’s position.

Worried, please help!!
