Hello dear,
I understand your concern.

In my opinion the loose motions and stomach pain might be due to stomach infection.

Dont worry.They won't harm the fetus.
But the loose motions if untreated might make you dehydrated and tired.

The dehydration might irritate the uterus leading to pain sometimes.

So take adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day ,electrolyte powder,coconut water,fruit juices to combat the dehydration caused due to loose motions.

Proboitics also might be helpful.
Avoid spicy and oily diet and take bland diet.
Observe your fetal movements.

With adequate treatment it will subside.
Nothing to worry as such.
I would like you to see your consultant.

Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
