Answer 1

I think these are two separate issues.

Diarrhea is not good at this time, drink plenty of fluids and re-hydrate, get your vitamins and folic acid too.

Answer 2

I would say that diarrhea is not a symptom of being pregnant but I would suggest that you drink plenty of liquids such as gatorade, powerade and the such to keep your electrolytes up. Your usual symptoms of pregnancy are

late periods, queasiness, tenderness to the breast area, loss in appetite to an increase in appetite, feel more tired than normal.

I would also suggest to you, that if this diarrhea issue doesn't subside in the next day or two, to get checked out by your physician. You want to make sure that everything is ok especially since there is a chance of pregnancy.
