embarassing question

Hi, I am 12 weeks pregnant. Yesterday morning and this morning, I had fairly loose stools when I went to the bathroom. It only happened once each day. I had heard that loose stools could indicate a problem. I still have all of my pregnancy symptoms. I also have been eating some celery and a plum the past couple of days. I have a mild case of irritable bowel syndrome, which is usually not much of a problem unless I am really stressed out. I am taking a prenatal vitamin called Duet that apparently has a different kind of iron in it than most prenatal vitamins. I plan to mention this to my doctor when I see him later this week. But after reading a post that loose stools can be a big concern, I am kind of nervous. Do you think that I should be panicked or can this be normal especially in light of the IBS (pre-pregnancy I tended to have loose stools more often than regular ones). I have had loose stools a couple other times during the pregnancy sometimes alternated with constipation. Thank you.
