Hello. I'm 26 year old female and just recently I have experienced some strange things. I'm sexually active and this last year, my husband and I are trying to get a baby, but without luck so far.
About two weeks I started to suffer from constant diarrhea and I was sure it was from some food poisoning.
At that time, best friend was telling me that she’s sure I'm pregnant and that this diarrhea is a sign of pregnancy. I just laughed at it. After week period, I took home pregnancy test and it came positive. I couldn’t believe! The diarrhea continued. Please tell me, could this be true- is diarrhea sign of pregnancy?

Hello. I will try to help you understanding some facts about all this. I worked as a nurse for almost 20 years and I know a bit about all this.
First you should know is- diarrhea is not the sign of pregnancy although in many cases it looks like it is.
But the key is that diarrhea is very common in pregnant women as a result of the changing hormone levels, predominantly increased levels of progesterone. Constipation is also very common in pregnancy and it is often the result of physiologic changes that occur during pregnancy, usually from hormonal effects on gastrointestinal motility.
So, diarrhea isn’t really exact sign of pregnancy but it is very common in pregnancy. That’s the bottom line. Home pregnancy test is only way you can be sure!

| I am experiencing the same thing. It is normal for me to get diarrhea before my period, but my period is 15 days late and I have had diarrhea for about that long. Not every day, but every 2 or 3 days. I have been stressed out lately. Maybe stress is causing both? In any case, my husband and I are a little nervous about this. Any idea? |
