Hi,
As per your stool study, it appears as though you have contracted some gut infection and this should be adequately treated by the medication your doctor has prescribed. Another cause of increased bowel movement in pregnancy is the pressure effect of the presenting part on the bowel and bladder, but, since you are too early for that, it is unlikely. You may need to decrease the use of fiber in your diet until the symptoms subside and can use lactobacillius tablets or powder for better relief. Wish you safe motherhood.
