Im 34 Weeks Pregnant Been Havin Diarrhea Since Saturday, Is It Ok To Take Donnagel?

2009 November 15

I’m 34 weeks pregnant :) and sice saturday I have been going to the restrooom and even when I think I only have to pee there it comes. I wasn’t sure if it was diarrhea cause I don’t really feel like I need to go very often and some other symptoms that usually come with it. But today I call the doctor just to make sure and she told me to take some Donnagel or Kaopectate. Cause she said we need to get rid of the diarrhea but I still have doubts if IS IT OK TO TAKE IT WHILE PREGNANT? I DONT WANT TO HARM THE BABY, SINCE I GOT PREGNANT I HAVE NOT TAKE ANY MADICATION WELL JUST THE PRENATAL VITAMINS BUT IF I GET A HEADACHE OR A MUSCULAR PAIN I DONT TAKE ANY MADICATION CAUSE IM AFRAID IT CAN HARM MY BABY.
ARE THESE TWO MEDICATIONS SAFE TO TAKE, SHOULD I TAKE THEM EVEN WHEN I DON’T HAVE ANY OTHER SYMPTOMS JUST LOOSE AND SOMETIMES WATERY STOOLS? (not saying that I like it, but will the baby be safe?)

    If your doctor told you to take it then it is safe, she is the best one to ask and she gave you her answer.
