Category B: Loperamide is category B in pregnancy but I would recommend you consult with your OB doctor this early in the pregnancy before taking anything. http://www.medicinesinpregnancy.org/Medicine--pregnancy/Loperamide/

Obstetrician: I believe that you should not take any medications when pregnant without getting clearance from your obstetrician. Perhaps avoiding harsh roughage in your diet will suffice. Taking kaopectate may be more preferable than imodium during pregnancy, but I would defer to your obstetrician's advice.
