Hi,
I understand your concern.
NO health problem is to be taken lightly at end of 9th month of pregnancy. You have sever diarrheoa.. which is likely to cause dehydration & weakness.. which will hamper your stamina at labor.
You need to attained ER.. get fluid replacement as per need. Also at this stage cause of the problem is to be detected ( with investigations as per need )& specifically treated as per need,with a gynecologist's/ physician's advise
Take rest. Drink plenty of fluids with sugar & pinch of salt/ take easy to digest food as per doctor's advise.
Thanks.
