Hello, Thank you for your question! Could you please give me a little more information? 1- This has been going on for 1 day. Is anyone else around you sick (gastro type?) 2-Do you take medication now or after the birth? 3-How many times a day does this happen? 4-Are you able to eat or do you also feel sick? Thanks and see you soon! Emmanuelle

No, no gastro and no, I don't take any medication, only the evra patch. Since yesterday it's not so bad I would say 5-6 times a day and I have some nausea.

I don't know about your region, but here (Vaudreuil), the gastro virus is very present at the moment. I wonder if that's what's happening to you, especially since it's a little better today and is accompanied by nausea. If the following conditions are met, I would not worry: -sustained improvement in the next few days -no fever -no blood in the stool -no other symptoms (unexplained pain for example) It is very important for you to stay well hydrated since you are losing a lot of fluids with 5-6 bouts of diarrhea per day. You can take a rehydration solution (Pedialyte or Gastrolyte), or take Gatorade but dilute it half and half with water since it is too sweet. I hope this helps a little :) Have a good Sunday, Emmanuelle
