This happened to me during my second trimester when my doctor started my iron pills. I just mentioned it to him on my next visit to be sure.

My mother told me it's because of eating spinach, but my doctor confirmed it was due to my iron tablets. It's very common, so don't worry.

I know how every small change can make you super anxious during this journey. It's most likely your prenatal vitamins, but do mention it to your doctor once for peace of mind.

It's usually just the iron supplements working, so don't run to the clinic and pay heavy fees for this. But if u have pain or loose motions, then definitely go.

I just texted my care coordinator at Cloudnine when this happened. They immediately reassured me that iron supplements cause this color change.

With double iron supplements for my twins, my stool color was literally neon green sometimes! It's completely normal, nothing to worry about.
