Every woman will experience a painful and happy thing, which is pregnancy. But what should you do if you have diarrhea in the eighth month of pregnancy? The excitement in my heart when I know I have become a mother cannot be expressed in words, but occasional physical discomfort during pregnancy will make pregnant mothers worry and fear. They are afraid of whether their baby is healthy or not, and they don’t know whether they can take medicine. They are afraid that they will hurt the baby in an unexpected way. So what should you do if you have diarrhea in the eighth month of pregnancy? Let me solve it for you and relieve your worries. . . .

1This situation should be caused by catching a cold. It is recommended that you keep warm and pay attention to your diet.

2 Pregnant women with diarrhea may have enteritis caused by catching a cold. I suggest you get an IV. You feel weak all over. Considering you are dehydrated and need an IV, you can take some pioneer anti-inflammatory drugs and drink more fluids. The effect is quite good. Keep warm in cold weather.

3 Do not eat for the time being, and drink appropriate fluids to replenish the water and electrolytes lost due to diarrhea, especially potassium ions, and also replenish the lost calories. You can prepare some liquid and easily digestible porridge for pregnant women. If the condition is not very serious, it is enough to have an empty stomach. While replenishing fluids, closely observe the fetal condition and whether there are any signs of miscarriage or premature birth.

4 If the fetus is in an abnormal condition, you should go to the hospital immediately and not be careless to prevent delaying the treatment and causing miscarriage or premature birth. If the possibility of miscarriage or premature birth has been ruled out, medication can be used with caution depending on the severity of the pregnant woman's diarrhea. What should pregnant women do if they have diarrhea? Medication should be used with caution at this time. Many commonly used antibiotics and antiprotozoal drugs, in addition to having adverse reactions, may also cause fetal malformations. For example, the commonly used metronidazole has teratogenic effects on experimental animals, so it is prohibited during pregnancy, especially in the first 3 months of pregnancy! Other antibacterial drugs, such as sulfonamides, tetracyclines, quinolones, etc., have adverse effects on both the mother and the fetus and should also be banned. Do not use opioids to stop diarrhea, because these drugs may cause bacterial overgrowth and repeated infections, which will aggravate the condition. You can use milder anti-diarrhea agents to solve the problem of diarrhea in pregnant women, such as kaolin and pectin, which can absorb water and reduce intestinal peristalsis.

The above is the answer for you. I don’t know if it has helped you solve the problem. In fact, diarrhea in the eighth month of pregnancy is not a big deal if it is not serious. Bao Ma should pay attention to diet and cannot eat raw, cold or cold things. You must control your mouth. For the healthy development of the baby, you must bear it. For your own peace of mind, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. Here I wish Bao Ma to give birth to a beautiful baby and wish you a good pregnancy.
