Probably TMI but my IBS was great up till 20 weeks and now it's really inconsistent. I wonder if I'm also developing a gluten sensitivity or something (we have coeliacs in the family and it's always been triggered by pregnancy) cos I've eaten lots of bread over the last few days and had the worst tummy cramps ever.]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2008 12:12:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=312723&title=runny-tummy#312723 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=311515&title=runny-tummy#311515 Author: Maya

Firsttime - I had some kind of raging tummy bug a few weeks ago, prob when I was around the same stage as you, I vomited for 12 hours straight and couldn't get out of bed for 2 days. I checked with my m/w and she was happy that bubs would be fine and so far everything has been just fine. Listeria is the only one you really have to worry about and it's pretty unlikely you have that.]]> Mon, 25 Feb 2008 21:57:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=311515&title=runny-tummy#311515 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=311504&title=runny-tummy#311504 Author: emz

I'm a lucky one that had minimal probs with my IBS during pregnancy, but man I'm getting it double time now! I can't go a day without something upsetting my tummy! Plus my migraines came back and my uterine contractions which were also *supposed* to disappear after having a baby. The joys!

But I second the fluids thing, you get so dehydrated if you have to go to the loo heaps and that will cause all sorts of problems with other things. Have you eaten anything suspicious? If you haven't, I would just monitor it, and if it goes away just put it down to random pregnancy stuff. You'll get a huge list of them!]]> Mon, 25 Feb 2008 21:50:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=311504&title=runny-tummy#311504 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=311115&title=runny-tummy#311115 Author: Shezamumof3

Everyone is different though, everyones body reacts differently to pregnancy. Some women get morning sickness and some dont.
ive always had probs with my bowels, and since Ive been preggy its worse, not better.
just some of us unlucky ones that get it worse through pregnancy ]]> Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:33:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=311115&title=runny-tummy#311115 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=311093&title=runny-tummy#311093 Author: kabe

I had strange tummy things going on throughout my pregnancy, and it's still continuing abit. Went to a dietician and it seems I developed some lactose intolerance. It helped alot to avoid dairy, but I had to look for other sources of calcium. Perhaps have a look at what you're eating and see if it's linked to anything.]]> Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:15:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=311093&title=runny-tummy#311093 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=311039&title=runny-tummy#311039 Author: Nefertiti

I wouldn't worry about it too much unless its been like that for a couple of days, then I would probably speak to your mw or go to the dr. i have had the odd bout of diarrhoea here and there throughout pregnancy and no adverse affects to bubs.]]> Sun, 24 Feb 2008 10:15:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=310114&title=runny-tummy#310114 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=310028&title=runny-tummy#310028 Author: Shezamumof3

Ive had an upset tummy before that had me on the loo for like half an hour, I felt awful and the tummy cramps were SO bad I thought I was having contractions but it was just my tummy and once Id been toilet I felt SO much better. I must have just picked up a little bug or something.
So Im sure your fine, but if you are still worried then you could speak to yuor midwife.]]> Sat, 23 Feb 2008 23:43:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=310028&title=runny-tummy#310028 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=309962&title=runny-tummy#309962 Author: first

I've sure I've been so carefull with my food but I've got a really bad runny tummy.
I feel fine otherwise. No temperture or anything just the tummy being awful.
Do I need to do anything? Should I see a dr? I don't want to be a panicy mother to be just want to know I'm not being too relaxed about things either.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.]]> Sat, 23 Feb 2008 21:50:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14731&PID=309962&title=runny-tummy#309962
