Should I Be Worried About The Light Brown Stool During Pregnancy?

I have just found out I m 5 weeks pregnant which is amazing! As you can imagine I am second guessing everything right now so when I passed a large soft formed stool which was a light brown/ golden colour with black spots on this confused and concerned me. Is this normal or something to worry about?

Welcome to healthcaremagic,
Large formed stool light brown or golden colour with some dark spots is not a reason to worry as this will become normal in a day or two. If the stool continues to have black spots even after 2 days then consult your physician as a stool examination will be required.
Hope that answers your question,
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
