6 weeks preg, have diahrroea (sp?) need reassurance please!!!

[Heathcliffscathy]

ate at a buffet last night, have the runs and am paranoid that this will affect fetal development...i'm not very ill: no severe crampimg or temp or anything but clearly i've eaten something that didn't agree...is this going to affect the pregnancy?

Hi, I can fully understand your concerns I would be exactly the same! Have you thought about getting in touch with NHS direct just for some reassurance and advice?

I have had this on and off since I found out I was pg. So has my SIL. No advice but maybe it's just one of the ways bodies deal with all the changes?
There's a lot going on down there and maybe the hormones make us more sensitive.

I had this in early pregnancy, something to do with hormones relaxing everything down there. i wouldn't worry if you feel ok.

oh! you mean it might not be the food?

Well I am no doctor/expert but I have heard a few pregnant women say they have had upset tummy in the early stages.

Me included.

Yeah I had a sensitive tummy cos of hormones - was set off by watercress soup of all things! Doc was not worried.

I had horrible diarrhoea and sickness for the first 3 months of pregnancy - turned out I had a parasite thingy called giardia! God knows where it came from. I lost a lot of weight and looked like the living dead - the drs all reassured me that the baby was fine cos it was draining every last bit of goodness from me! Don't worry too much.

soph I have had a dodgy stomach yesterday
It might just be a very mild bug
what have I told you about buffets??? [cross]
they are the devil's own work
