(I found this on the internet) Taking loperamide during pregnancy is not expected to cause any problems that would require extra monitoring of your baby. If you have an underlying illness that causes severe long-term diarrhoea, your doctor may wish to monitor your baby's growth in the womb more closely. Heres a website I found babycenter.com/pregnancy/he.... Hope this helps.
