Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Ampiclox contains amoxicillin and cloxacillin which are antibiotics and have a side effect of diarrhoea because of the altered bacterial flora of the intestines.
Diarrhoea does not occur due to the pressure of the fetal head.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated and treated, as inpatient if required.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
