And, not to get too graphic, but for the "d" part, its not even normal, its almost like a mucous. I hope its nothing wrong. I wrote it off as worring too much but 3 full days now is actually starting to hurt!

take miralax several times a week dissolved in any drink. it is perfectly safe in pregnancy--my obgyn recommended it to me. it works wonders!

i have had the same thing recently - even in the same day. it stinks but i just try and eat as many fruits and veggies as possible to keep things moving, so to speak.

hope you feel better - just make sure you don't get dehydrated!!

I had that several weeks ago.... I wouldn't be able to go for a couple of days, and then all of the sudden I'd get diahrea.... it went on for a couple weeks

keep drinking liquids, and eating moist high fiber foods. stewed prunes and whole grains helped me get over it.

I think you need to call your Dr first thing tomorrow morning! As a nurse I can tell you that your symptoms raises a red flag to me. I may be jumping the gun to the worst case scenario but it sounds like your impacted (even though it's only been 3 days) in which case the only thing that can "get by" is this liquidy mucous you describe. Speak to your Dr. Generally the way to get someone quickly disimpacted is through several enemas but they may have other suggestions for pregnant women.

Yes! This is exacly what it feels like - do you think I can just take a stool softener or something?

there is a stomach virus going around, maybe you have a slight case and thats causing the diarrhea
