I've noticed some changes in my bowel movements recently, including the color. Is it normal for the color of motion to change during pregnancy, or should I be concerned?
Yes, it is very common, especially if you have started taking iron tablets which can make the motion look very dark or black. Please don't worry, but always share any concerns with your doctor for peace of mind.
Yes, iron supplements can change the color to black or dark green. Since I had thyroid issues too, I was always visiting my doctor and they confirmed it is very common. Just keep your doc updated during your regular checkups.
I understand how terrifying it is to see any changes like this when you are already anxious. In most cases, it is just due to the prenatal iron pills. It's completely normal, so take a deep breath.
Don't get scared, dear. Iron supplements are the main reason behind dark green or black motion during pregnancy. It's totally harmless, but if you feel any pain or see blood, do call your doctor.
