WOW!! All I can say! LOL, not if she is adequately gaining weight and MD's have found no medical cause for loose stools may just be related to major league hormones! Her body is supporting 3 other human beings, and is also probably rapidly changing and growing. Not that this is helpful, but with my last pregnancy I had diarrhea for the first 10 weeks. I was convinced there was no way I was pregnant, because all I was doing was going to the bathroom! Well lo and behold after about 3 weeks of this finally had a + pregnancy test! She is now in 1st grade.
