What Causes Soft Stool And Abdominal Pain After Taking Medications To Stop Contractions?

I am 28 weeks and 3 days and just went into preterm labor almost a week ago. (They gave me medicine to stop contractions) For about the past week and a half my stool has been really extremely soft (almost diarrhea but not quite) My stomach has been hurting, and every time The color has been a lot lighter than normal. I also feel like I ve had to go a lot more than normal. Could this be a sign of anything?

Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I Think I have understood your concern.

As such there is no relation between your tummy upset and medicine for preterm labour.

Actually preterm labour starts because of intestinal upset. I will suggest you Tab Pan D Sr once a day for 5 days. Tab Flagyl 400 mg three times a day for 5 days and Tab Cyclopam as needed for pain in abdomen.

Also use of Cap Vibact DS once a day for ten days will be of help. Include curds, yoghurt and buttermilk in dirt. Eat fresh food, fruits with pulp and drink plenty of water.
I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
