So i have been having diaherrea for the last week in a half and i was kinda hoping it would go away on its own. But it never did, this morning i woke up a 4 am and was in and out of the bathroom three times. I have this pregnancy book my parents got me for my first baby so i was ready what it said about my little problem. It told me to take milk of magnesia to cure my diaherrea. So i sent my hubby out to by some and told him to measure it for me and everything and i took it. I called my doc and which didnt call back for 2 hrs and told them bout my problem. I let them the nurse know bout the milk of magnesia i took. She asked me why i took it and i told her because i have diaherrea and she said " its a laxative". OMG i explained to her i read it in my pregnancy book. She told me to wait til the next day and take imodium which i plan to do, hopefully this all goes away soon. I can't beleive that book was wrong. This day has not been a good one ):

Is it possible the book just said "toilet problems" or the like. Cause usually in pregnancy the problem is constipation. i have never read a book that had ideas for diahorrea in it.

The book is called "Your Pregnancy Week By Week"

milk and magnesia is what they gave me after my c-section so that i would go. What book did you read it in because if I have it I'm throwing it out
