Obstetrician: Notify your obstetrician of these symptoms. They could be due to a viral infection,irritable bowel syndrome,food intolerance or other bowel infection or inflammation. A stool culture for pathogens may be ordered to check for pathogens if the diarrhea persists for over a week. Avoid harsh roughage and check to see if you can safely take kaopectate (kaolin and pectin) in the meantime. Drink adequate fluids.
