Oh ((((HUGS)))) Coggie, I so know exactly what you are going thru. Happened to me too when I was pregnant. I got a whole new understanding of the word "urgent". First make sure the Doc (Both your OB/GYN & your primary) knows how severe a problem you are having. Describe the frequency, severity & urgency as clearly as you can. Ask them for options. Ask them will it hurt the baby. Hon, now is no time for shyness. Ask your questions flat out.....no hedging. I can tell you it did not hurt my baby, but you need to ask all your questions and voice every concern. Worrying & anxiety are things you want to avoid. So ask away!I was able to take immodium. However you must ask your Doc. There may be a whole wad of options out there for you. You will make it thru this & perhaps it will calm down a bit. The flare you are experiencing is more than likely hormone provoked. Be your best ally & make a partnership with your Doc's on managing this pregnancy & your IBS symptoms. Try to think the best & prepare for the worst. Hang in there & call that Doc as soon as you can. I'm sure your concerns will be eased. Let us know how you are doing. BQ
