Stay hydrated.: You need to stay well hydrated. If it doesn't improve, you need to see your MD. OTc Imodium (loperamide) is safe to take.

Yes and no: No -the nausea and loss of appetite can be normal. The diarrhea can be related to hormone changes happening with pregnancy, or viral, or due to other conditions related to intestinal irritation/inflammation. Yes - because you need to stay hydrated. Small amounts of fluids(like gatoraid) as often as possible, will help. You may find crackers, rice, breads help with symptoms. Symptoms should pass!
