A member asked:
I am 38 weeks pregnant today and i have been having diarrhea for 3 straight days now. i am 3 in a half cm dilated is this okay?

Give it 3-5 days: It takes 3 to 5 days for the lining of the GI tract to regenerate itself. If the diarrhea persists beyond that, you may need to give a stool sample. In the meantime, it is very important to keep well hydrated . You are losing a lot of fluid with the diarrhea. Obviously try to keep your perineum as clean as possible. If you do so, should not be an issue with the pregnancy.
