Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Since you are in the ninth month of pregnancy, with loose motions and fever, it is better to increase the intake of oral rehydration solution (electral powder if in India) to about 1 to 1.5 liters a day. Plus, take other liquids like tender coconut water and buttermilk plus homemade fruit juices.

For fever, take paracetamol. It will control the fever. Usually, maintaining good hydration will help in overcoming loose motions. Therefore, considering this being the first baby please follow the above instructions. Still, if loose motions do not reduce, it is better to seek the advice of your personal doctor. Taking any of the drugs like Tinidazole, Ornidazole, and combinations with Fluoroquinolones are not safe during pregnancy. Maintaining good hydration will tide over.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhakar Laxman Jathar
