Pregnant-A lot of mucus-should I be concerned?

Definitely talk to your doctor; don't take any chances when you're pregnant. But yes, passing mucus is normal with IBS. Some people have a BM that is nothing but mucus sometimes. And as the women on here have found out, female hormone shifts tend to make IBS worse, so that may be why you're just having this problem for the first time now. Some women get better while pregnant, but some get worse. You need to make sure your OB knows you have IBS and that you are monitored for that; you don't want vitamin loss from diarrhea or straining from constipation to hurt the baby and, of course, you have to be careful with what you take in order to get relief from your symptoms. Ask about taking prune juice or aloe vera capsules if you are having problems with constipation since they're probably the mildest form of laxative you can take. There's also fiber supplements, but that can cause more gas until you get used to it and so you may not want to try it just yet; I hear babies kick a lot when they get gassy in the womb!
