i'm hopefully about 6+5 and since about 4 wks, have had constipation, which i took as a good sign. yesterday, my boobs were not as sore and i didnt feel as sick as previously. today is the same, a bit queasy but i have just had quite watery diarrhoea. is this a bad sign?
i have become so obssessed in this pg as so many of my friends have had things go wrong.can anyone reassure me that disappearing symptoms and the runs do not necessarily mena doom and gloom?

No I've had this ever since I found out I'm pg. Now 8 weeks and just as bad. Doc said as long as it's only once a day not to worry too much, but when it's a few times a day it might be a sign of something or other (sorry can't remember but do know it wasn't serious!).

My hormones have always affected my bowels. It's not nice but completely normal.

thanks for replying so promptly picante, that's reassuring. i don't feel unwell or anything, it just took me by surprise when i went to the loo as normal!(sorry tmi!!) i guess its because of the lack of other symptoms today and yesterday, it's so hard not to panic.

olivo, I think I get the runs quite a lot throughout pregnancy. Not serious. It was sign I was pregnant rather than the other way round.

It could just be a bug though. Dcs and I had that recently - quite mild.

thanks blueshoes. i've had no more since the one this morning but just been for my acupuncture and she said there is a mild bug going round. will just take it carefully.
