We just came back from a week long vacation and I am not feeling right. For the first part of the week I felt slightly constipated but the second half I had mild diarrhea. I took one dose of Imodium and since then I get terrible gas pains when I have to use the bathroom and still have mild diarrhea 2x per day.
I am assuming because I wasn’t eating the way I am used to/pregnancy hormones. I haven’t been sleeping well either. Do you think I should call the doctors or is it normal? Gas x helps a little bit, but not a ton. ETA: I am 14 weeks pregnant

Because of some medications and food sensitivities, I had similar issues in the first trimester, so this doesn’t sound super concerning to me, particularly if you aren’t dehydrated, symptoms aren’t severe, and you don’t think it’s related to food poisoning or something similar. However, I am a little neurotic about wanting to check with the doctor about everything. Since it is change for you, I would probably call just to be 100% certain.
Called the OB and I am pretty sure it’s some sort of stomach bug. DS got sick on Saturday and now also has diarrhea. hoping staying home one more day helps. I need to go back to work.
Same thing happened to me on our recent week and a half trip to Europe. Constipated the first half, diarrhea the last half and once I got home. It took me another few days to get back on track. Hope you feel better soon, tummy issues are no fun.
ETA - just saw the update. Hope you feel better soon!

It must take longer because we are pregnant? I feel like everything moves slower through our systems. I am back at work today. Stomach is starting to feel better but I am still eating bland foods and tons of water to be safe.
