Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic
I have gone through your question and I understood your problem.
If you are experiencing three runny, watery bowel movements in one day, the main concern would be staying hydrated. You can lose a significant amount of fluids with diarrhea during pregnancy. Dehydration can be serious, even deadly. You will need to make sure you are re-hydrating yourself. Diarrhea is rarely life-threatening, but it shouldn’t be taken too lightly, especially while pregnant.Thank you.
