Hi,
Thanks for discussing your problem with us.
Any medical problem during pregnancy should be taken seriously & should be reported to your doctor.
Usually the cause of this type of diarrhea could be the intake of some specific iron preparations, which most women take. Changing the brand may help. Please don't stop taking any medicine without prior permission from your doctor & also have a stool DR test to exclude any infection.
Best wishes.
