I am about 5 months pregnant, and I dont eat a very healthy diet. My stool has seemed to bevery thin and slimy, almost greasy like throughout the entire pregnancy so far. Only seems this way when I look at the tissue after wiping. Stool looks normal in the toilet. Could this be from eating greasy and unhealthy food?
Welcome to Chat Doctor. Your query has been assigned to me, and I am happy to assist you today for the health issues you raised. In pregnancy, it is normal to have some indigestion issues. You need to improve your diet in the first place and add more dietary fiber and seafoods, fewer fats. Add more fluids and fruits, vegetables and salads. No junk food. Avoid western diet and take Dietary fiber as a supplement easily available from market (fiber all, citruses etc. brands). It is the poor quality intake of food that is causing issues.
