My cousin sister was pregnant last year and she had stomach issues, including diarrhoea. She said the doctor told her it can happen 'cause of all the body changes. Just keep talking to your doc, seriously.
As someone who has to watch everything I eat, I know how sensitive the body can be. In pregnancy, with all the hormonal shifts, digestive upsets like diarrhoea can be expected. But always good to check with a doctor to rule out anything else, especially regarding diet.
My friend had phases of both constipation and diarrhoea when she was pregnant. She said her gynaecologist mentioned it's quite common for many women due to diet changes and hormones. I'd definitely suggest you discuss it with your own doctor.
It's completely understandable to worry about every little thing during pregnancy, trust me, I've been there! Diarrhoea can be normal due to many changes, but if it's making you anxious or uncomfortable, a quick chat with your doctor will put your mind at ease. Don't hesitate.
