Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Folic acid and iron supplements can cause black stools, it is normal.
If you are not having any other symptoms like blood in stools, weight loss etc no need to bother.
During pregnancy the corpus luteum of the ovary produced the hormones for maintenance of pregnancy till the placenta take over the function.
That will remain as cyst for some weeks.
It will usually subside soon, so don't worry.
Take care.
