A member asked:

Is it normal to have frequent normal bowel movements in early pregnancy? also cramping slightly with the bm and gas. 8 weeks so far.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes, multiple GI complaints are common. Extreme hormone elevations are the norm for early pregnancy and almost anything goes. Not to worry, with time much of this will dissipate. Hang in there.
