Noticed it the last couple of days and honestly it freaked me out a bit. Im in my second trimester and started taking new tablets recently, dont know if thats related. Is this normal for anyone else?
Usually its the iron supplement, very common. But black tarry stool without iron can mean something else, so just confirm with ur doc if ur not on iron. Quick to rule out, no need to stress.
Beta dont worry too much, iron medicine does this to almost everyone. My colour also changed after starting the tablets. Just keep drinking water and tell doctor at next visit.
Most likely its your iron tablets, they turn the stool dark, totally normal. Happened to me both pregnancies. But if u didnt start any iron and its very black and sticky, then mention it to your gynac to be safe.
