What Causes Loose Bowels Along With Nausea During Pregnancy?

I am almost 38 weeks pregnant and the past two days I ve had very loose bowls, I usually have a hard time going to the bathroom. I ve also randomly gotten nauseas and shaky. I ve been having a lot of cramps and contractions but nothing too serious that can be timed. Are these signs I should call my doctor?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
You are at 38th week of pregnancy. You also have pains & cramps.

- The uterine contractions can instigate loose motions/ vomiting in some women,
- Gasteroenteritis , an infection of digestive tract might have set in & may cause cramps too.
* Consult your doctor, get examined to note labor pains/ Check for signs dehydration/ infection.
- you may need admission for labor pains/fluid replacement.
- The needful medications will be prescribed For infection if any... start taking them,
Take rest & plenty of liquid diet including ORT .
Keep a watch on fetal movements
Thanks.
