When i was pregnant n still working I had severe ibs (irrtable bowel syndrome) which made me had diarrhea or constipation n at times when I had diarrhea would like as often as 6 or 7 times a day n it can happen almost 3-4 times a wk.. There's nothing that can b done as it was stress related so I kept myself well hydrated n avoid milk for the time being when I was having diarrhea.. But then again do c the dr if u do not know the cause for it n freq is increasing

No worries! Your baby will be fine

I was alternating between constipation and diarrhoea when I was pregnant.

Your baby will be fine. But do be careful with what you eat and make sure that the diarrhea is not due to food poisoning.

Salmonella can harm the baby. That's why raw foods and unpasteurised cheeses is strongly advised against.

Otherwise, bad IBS (constipation, bloatedness, loose stools, etc) won't affect the baby. Though if you've been loosing a lot of water via diarrhea, you should make sure you're well hydrated.
