Hi,

Likely to be drug induced loose motions and black stool (iron therapy
is a proven cause for the same in pregnancy). You should stop further dose intake of iron therapy and consult your OBGY for further guidelines. Wish you fine pregnancy ahead.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
