Can a woman in the late stages of pregnancy have a normal delivery if she has diarrhea?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often get lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Can I have a natural birth in the late stages of pregnancy with diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

The most common cause of diarrhea in pregnant women is still infection, with the most common pathogens including Salmonella, Shigella dysenteriae, Campylobacter, and viruses. Food poisoning or viral infections in other parts of the body can also cause diarrhea in pregnant women. It is recommended to seek timely treatment, as it generally does not affect a normal delivery.
The ovulation period is usually 14 days before the next menstrual period, with the possibility of ovulation occurring in the three to four days before and after this period, which is considered the risky period. The likelihood of pregnancy during intercourse in this period is higher. At other times, it is relatively safe.
