What Causes Loose Stools After Food Intake And Hard Stools At Times During Pregnancy?

I have only just found out I am pregnant, so only very early stages, but have been having very wet and explosive motions followed by very hard stools as though I am constipated. I suspect it is probably a bug as I have a real urgency to go to the toilet and difficulty holding it whenever I eat but wasn t sure if it is safe to fast while pregnant (I usually eat only dry toast for 24 hours when I have a stomach bug and seem to recover quicker when I do this) and the harder stools are making me doubt that I have a bug.
