38 weeks pregnant & i have been having diarrhea for the last two days & also headaches whenever i lay down , no high blood pressure! is this normal?

No: Of course it is not normal to have diarrhea and headaches in pregnancy. However, it is normal to get a GI bug / gastroenteritis, pregnant or not, which then causes diarrhea, which then dehydrates you and causes a headache. You need to take Tylenol (acetaminophen) and drink lots of water. If no improvement, talk to your doctor. You may need IV fluids and some other tests.
