Dark stools

[Steffy198]

Has anyone experienced dark stool during pregnancy? It could be the prenatal vitamins and lately I ve been eating lots of veggies, I'm still worried though.. Should I consult my doc
.?my next visit is 30 th jan ,don't know if I should wait till then.

Yes hun, for about 2 weeks I've had them.

I've had more constipation lately and apparently that can cause dark stools. An iron supplement can also cause dark ones.

I was a bit worried about mine just because I've had a digestion/tummy problem and because I'm on asprin I requested a blood test to make sure I wasn't anemic (in case I was experiencing some internal bleeding from my tummy irritation) ....but all was ok & looks like its just one of those things.

I've been drinking a ton of water the last few days & upped my fruit & veg and that seems to be helping improve the colour if that helps xx

I know it's pretty gross isn't it, this is what pregnancy has reduced me to! xx

The 3 main things would probably be iron in your vitamins, dehydration and constipation
