Is pregnancy diarrhea harmful to the fetus?

Patient's question:

6 months, there's a bit of pain above the navel, which also started a few days ago. It's like a stomach ache that just won't go away. Recently, I've also been having some diarrhea. I had an ultrasound, and the doctor said the baby is fine.

Doctor's answer:

From the patient's description of symptoms, the pain around the navel could be caused by a local skin infection or pain originating from the intestines. If the pain is related to pregnancy, it may lead to uterine contractions, and during these contractions, the abdomen may become hard. If this symptom does not appear, there is no need to be anxious or worried. It is important to focus on careful observation and pay attention to dietary adjustments.
