Noticed my motion is very dark since last 2-3 days and it got me a little worried. Im taking my iron tablets regularly, could it be from that? planning to mention it to my doc but wanted to know if others had the same.
I literally panicked when I saw this the first time. Turned out it was just my iron tablets, the doc reassured me instantly. Still, I felt better only after asking her, so dont hesitate to call.
My doctor told me iron tablets often turn the stool dark or blackish, totally common in pregnancy. So if you started iron recently, that is likely the reason. But if you havent and it continues, mention it to her to be safe.
Iron supplements did this to me both times. Once I knew the reason I stopped worrying. If you are not on iron though, get it checked just to rule things out.
