Hello,
I appreciate your concern for your baby.
I would like to know whether loose motion is associated with any other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, etc.
I would like to ensure you that it will not affect your fetus as long as you are taking sufficient liquids during loose motions, so take ORS everytime you are having loose motion. Satrogyl is safe during pregnancy, so you need not to worry about it.
But i would suggest you not to take any further medications, if no other symptoms are associated with loose motions. It will be ok within few days, so just wait and take enough liquids during this period.
Hope this answers your question and let me know directly if you have any further relevant queries.
I find this answer helpful
