Strong anti-diarrheal medications should be avoided during pregnancy. Instead, concentrate on remaining hydrated with ORS, clear fluids, and light, bland foods. Your OB-GYN should prescribe any medicine, however your doctor may suggest pregnancy-safe alternatives like probiotics or paracetamol for discomfort if necessary.

Avoid self-medicating and concentrate on staying hydrated, eating light meals, and avoiding bland foods when your stomach is disturbed so close to birth. Before taking any medication, speak with your OB-GYN because some medications might not be safe to use in the latter stages of pregnancy.
