During pregnancy gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea and vomiting are very common. The anxiety level will also in-crease during this period. This study was designed to evaluate the IBS symptoms during pregnancy in comparison with normal objects.Methods

323 pregnant subjects and 98 controls were included. IBS was seen in 23.5% of pregnant subjects and in 13.3% of patients in control group (P < 0.05). Constipation dominant IBS had a significant increase in third trimester comparing with first and second trimester (P < 0.05). Diarrhea dominant IBS had a significant increase in second and third trimester comparing with control group (P = 0.042). Mixed symptom-subtype of IBS had a significant increase in third trimester comparing with control group (P = 0.008). Conclusions
