Dark poo during pregnancy, is it normal?

This is my first pregnancy and I’m currently in my week 20. Recently I start to realise that my poo is darker than usual even though I didn’t eat any black food (black sesame, black chicken etc). Have been observing for a week, and it is still the same. Is this normal? can’t help feeling worried if it will affect the little one inside. *sob sob* 😭

Iron supplements make the poo dark so if you are on multivitamins or any iron supplement then it’s normal. Don’t worry at all 🙂

Yes yes it’s normal esp on iron tables and cause constipation too. So whack on fruits and spam on water, it helps eventually.

it's normal especially if you are taking iron pills. I have dark stools too as I'm taking iron pills.

It’s normal if you’re taking iron pills.

Prenatals can cause this!!
