dark stool

Dear mummies, I'm about 18 weeks preggy and ever since I started on multivitamins, I noticed that my stool has been darker. Is it normal?

Yes. The iron content in the multivitamin will makes your stools looks darker & blacker in Color. It is harmless, just drink more water take more fibres to prevent constipation. :)

Normal, especially taking ferrous. Once a day lang ako mag-rice then oatmeal na and light meal. Kasi nag-spotting ako dahil sa pag-ire ko ng bongga. Nakaka-constipated ang ferrous.

Yes it’s normal since I’m taking it now and I asked my ob gyne about it because iron vitamins makes our stool darker
