What Does Black Stool During Pregnancy Indicate?

Hi! I am 16 + weeks pregnant. I have been passing dark greenish black or black stool since I started taking multivitamins fir pregnancy. I took folic acid first then stopped it and started taking New Obimin supplements. I am really worried about the colour of my stools. I need help!

Hi I think it can be a side effect of iron or vitamin supplements. So, don't worry about it. It is a normal thing to happen. If you stop these tablets for few days, your stool colour will become normal. Hope it helps.
