is it normal to have really bad diarreah during pregnancy?

I have had it for a couple of days & feel really sick, is it normal and should I call/tell my midwife?

Answer #1

Its probably just some kind of intestinal bug, but you should give a call and let her know what’s going on. Drink Gatorade to replace the electrolytes you lose and a BRAT diet until the diarrhea stops.
BRAT diet: bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast
