Management of diarrhea during pregnancy :

Diarrhea means excess passage of loose stolls , which is actually not so common during pregnancy , as most pregnant women complain of constipation and difficulty passing both urine and stools as gestational weeks progress . So we recommend taking enough rest , drink good amunt of water , at least 2.5 liters daily to avoid dehydration , use the oral replacement solution to replenish the lost electrolytes , you can take 200-400 ml after each loose stool . we also reco,mmend you to maintain a balanced diet but avoid excess intake of complex carbohydrates and fats , you can also use scopolamine tablets twice daily to decrease bowel movements .
