What Causes Constipation And Oily Stool During Pregnancy?
I am 15 weeks pregnant and have been constipated. A week ago I ate beets and Ebert since I ve had greasy, oily stool. It s too the point that when I have to pass gas I have to be on the toilet because I ll pass little pieces of oily stool at the same time. This didn t happen during my first pregnancy and is only concerning because it s been a week now.

Hello ma'am and welcome.
Making changes take place in a woman's body during pregnancy, some pertaining to the changes your body is making to support another life, and some just simply abnormalities that can affect you even when you are not pregnant. I would recommend a visit to your doctors for a stool analysis and general examination, all should be fine, so please do not worry.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
