Normal : Uterine changes and irritation can cause colon irritation and diarrhea is the normal result of this occurrence. Hormones also play a part in this and as long as you can maintain hydration and nutrition no problem. I hope your pregnancy continues to do well.

Stress: it could be the stress of pregnancy,or something you ate,like creamy food or greassy food. eat yogurt,and banana that will replace your gut flora and make it normal again and eat a more healthy food.and less spiy, or greassy food.
