Pregnancy and diarrhea

[kmbrlycool 214]

Hello

I am about 1.5 years post surgery and I'm four months pregnant. Either I'm very constipated to where I take a laxative (okd by my obgyn) or I have very liquidy bowel movements for a few days...

Anyone else experience this? I'm worried about the baby not gettin enough nutrients, etc

Also, since I've become pregnant I've only gained like 2 pounds. Is that normal for someone who has had surgery to gain so little four months along?

Btw, I started at 375 and I lost for six months got down to 240 now since pregnant I'm 242.5

I am 37 weeks pregnant and I had the same issue during my first trimester. I could almost count exactly 4-5 days without a bowl movement and a day of diarrhea following. Just keep on taking your Vitamins and I'm sure there is nothing to worry about. You can always ask your OB or surgeon if you're worried about it.

I am 3 months pregnant. Having the same thing going on. I have gained about 4 lbs. I gain and lose the same few lbs. Doc told me not to worry so much about weight gain till the end of the 2nd trimester. So for now I am not going to stress. I do feel restriction similar to what it was when I was just out of surgery some days. It's a chore to eat anything. Still battling morning sickness most days... Hoping to feel better soon.
