Can diarrhoea be a symptom of pregnancy?
My period is late this month, and I've also been having some mild diarrhoea for the past two days. A friend told me that sometimes stomach issues can be an early sign of pregnancy. Is this true?

Hormonal changes can definitely upset the stomach during early pregnancy, leading to either constipation or loose motions. My wife had similar issues, but since she also had gestational diabetes later, we had to be very careful with what she ate. Do consult your doctor to manage your diet properly.
Yes, early hormonal shifts can absolutely cause diarrhea. It's quite common, so don't worry too much.
Haan, bilkul ho sakta hai. Pregnancy ke shuruat mein hormones kaafi change hote hain na, toh stomach upset hona normal hai. But agar bohot zyada loose motions hain toh doctor ko zaroor dikhana taaki weakness na ho.
With my PCOS, my digestion is already so erratic that it is hard to tell, but yes, pregnancy hormones can trigger diarrhea. Just to be safe, I would suggest taking a home pregnancy test if your period is late. Don't stress too much, just keep track of your symptoms.
Yes, hormonal changes or even sudden diet changes during early pregnancy can cause diarrhea. However, since it can also be a simple stomach bug, take a test if your cycle is delayed. If it persists, book a quick online doctor consultation instead of waiting.

Absolutely, digestive issues like diarrhea or constipation are very common early signs due to the sudden surge in progesterone. Instead of guessing, just take a urine pregnancy test first thing tomorrow morning. That will give you a clear answer.
Yes, those sudden hormone spikes can definitely throw your digestion off track in the early days. Don't panic, just make sure you are resting well and sipping coconut water or light soups. If you suspect you might be pregnant, take a simple home test to be sure.
