Hello there!
te color of stool indicates bile excess and increased iron level need to sort out Haemochromatosis so yes worth a test. Pregnancy has many physiological changes too, will take som ework up before saying any thing about the diagnosis, could be just the diet in recent 72 hours past with nothing to worry about.
lets hope for the best
