In pregnant women, digestive disorders are quite often observed. This is normal. The fact is that the body of every expectant mother is forced to rebuild in a new way. Now, almost all the internal organs and systems of a woman work in a completely different way. That is why loose stools during pregnancy are far from rare. Diarrhea occurs for many reasons. Diarrhea can be caused by intestinal diseases or any other pathology. In addition, loose stools in pregnant women are very often accompanied by unpleasant sensations and severe pain, nausea, increased gas formation, temperature and even the appearance of a special aftertaste in the oral cavity.
Most often, the diarrhea in the expectant mother appears as a result of the defeat of the body by any serious infection. For example, cholera, typhoid or dysentery. These diseases must be treated in a so-called hospital. However, loose stools during pregnancy are sometimes provoked by ordinary food poisoning. Signs of it appear suddenly. It is necessary to treat food poisoning strictly under the supervision of a specialist.
If some beneficial substances are not enough in a pregnant woman’s body, she may also experience diarrhea. In such a situation, it is enough to follow a special diet, which is compiled by the attending physician on the basis of the results of the patient’s blood tests. If a representative of the fair sex follows all the recommendations of a specialist, then loose stools during pregnancy will no longer bother her.
Food allergies are also often accompanied by diarrhea. The list of possible causes of this process should include diseases of the pancreas and stomach, dysbiosis, some hormonal changes, a neurogenic reaction, damage by worms.
Fluid stool during pregnancy is something that absolutely every mother faces for the entire period of the baby’s development. The question here is completely different. Is it worth it to worry about and urgently contact your doctor? In this case, it all depends on the situation. For example, if diarrhea occurs after eating a food product, in addition, you do not have an increase in body temperature, vomiting, etc., you can postpone a visit to a specialist. However, it should be noted that many infectious diseases develop in this way. This in turn often stimulates the uterus, causing a miscarriage.
If you have severe diarrhea, vomiting, and pain in the intestines, fever, consult a doctor immediately. So most often an acute intestinal infection develops or an exacerbation of a chronic disease occurs. This condition threatens, first of all, the child and the mother herself. To drag in this case with a doctor’s call is senseless and very dangerous.
Diarrhea during pregnancy may have other causes. For example, every expectant mother is sometimes very upset. Stresses contribute to the weakening of the whole body, the appearance of allergies, including diarrhea. In this case, it is quite simple to simply calm down, drink special infusions and teas.
Quite often there are women in whom during the entire pregnancy liquid stool does not stop. It does not have any complications similar to those described above. It is quite possible to cure such diarrhea at home. The main thing is to drink more liquid, infusions, which differ in the fixing effect, and so on. Loss of fluid must be replenished. It is worth remembering that at such moments it is impossible to overload your stomach in any case. Eliminate fruits, milk, vegetables, and meat from your diet for a while. It is best to eat low fat cereals and dairy products. Perfectly eliminates all signs of diarrhea, a decoction of ordinary rice or porridge from this cereal. Salt in food is better not to add.
