Didn't want to read and run. I don't think it can. I have had pretty bad dhiarhea a few times this pregnancy (the type that leaves you straining uncontrollably TMI) and so far I am fine. I think your main concern would be piles as we are much more likely to develop them in pregnancy what with all the extra blood in the area. Xx

I understand your concern. But constipation is SO normal and natural (unfortunately) in pregnancy. I recently had the same worry. But I figured if straining to poo caused MC or PTL- they'd list constipation as a warning sign. Our bodies know what they're doing! I doubt a viable pregnancy would be lost from straining to poo. Also, increasing levels of hcg cause constipation. You could think of it as a positive sign. I hope this is reassuring.

Check out how many posts have gone up about constipation just in the last 2 days! You're definitely not alone. (They have some suggestions for remedies too.)

I'm sorry about your mc's. It's impossible not to worry, I know.
