Diarrhoea instead of morning sickness? TMI

[ec1993]

The last 3 mornings I have had diarrhoea once or twice from when I wake up early and it's gone within an hour but no sickness or nausea?

I have my six week scan today, hoping that we see a baby in there today as on Monday could only see a sac and yolk.

Is diarrhoea in early pregnancy normal?

I don't think it's anything I've ate as since finding out I'm pregnant I've been healthier including eating breakfast and cutting out chocolate and fizzy drinks bar the odd can of Diet Coke if I fancy it.

I'm taking folic acid (high 5mg dose), Vitamin D, Iron, Progesterone, Prednisolone steroids 10mg a day and blood thinning injections (for previous M/C's and an autoimmune disorder).

Thank you x

This happened to me with both my pregnancies, no vomiting at all. Have two loud boys in bed with me right now...best of luck for your scan and pregnancy.

My friend had this in her first trimester, but unfortunately it was accompanied with sickness too x

It could be the vitamins and change in diet.

Personally I was sick at your stage but no upset stomach. I’m now 28 weeks and have had an occasional upset stomach but still not common.

Tbh there’s very little during pregnancy that isn’t ‘normal’ and I will say that before pregnancy getting my period would regularly cause me to have an upset stomach, so it can 100% be brought on by hormones.

I imagine it may be a mixture of the 3!

Thank you girls.

I will update after my scan. Hoping it's the change in hormones as I get diarrhoea just before my period too but touch wood no bleeding in this pregnancy xx

I had diarrhoea in early pregnancy and put it down to hormones (like you, the same happens with my periods).

Hope your scan goes well later 🌸

I have the shits and morning sickness MS only started at about 5.5 weeks so it might be that yours just hadn't come yet.
