Diarrhoea for entire pregnancy so far - worried. Is this normal?

I’ve had diarrhoea since getting pregnant. Now 20 weeks.
Doctor did a test on my stools early on to make sure no infection, but I’m worried. Is this normal? I’ve had bad sickness too so my stomach has generally been upset.

Don't worry completely normal just the way some of us go! I think I am happier with it than constipation, I had it with my first and now 28 weeks with second and still have it this time plus the added delight of this time still being sick at 28 weeks! Stopped at 16 last time so I think some of us are just a bit unlucky and get it coming from all angles! I can normally tell when I have had a bit of a growth/hormonal spurt and both get worse for a time. I am sure you are absolutely fine and the tests will show any issues. I just try to think well at least I am not constipated and have that pain and discomfort on top of everything else (not to mention the possible piles issues!) hope it gets better for you soon Smile

My IBS flared up so badly in pregnancy. I'd been on the same pill 4 years before that and had forgotten how much my bowels were linked to my hormones!

So yes, normal but irritating!
