What Causes Dark Stool During Pregnancy?
Question: Pregnant with dark stool. Could it be the iron supplement?
Brief Answer:
Mostly due to iron supplement
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic. Yes dear most common reason is recent iron supplementation and thus nothing to worry.
Only other reason can be blood in stools but then that is associated with pain abdomen or acidity and mucus along with passage of stools.
In case you have no such problem then nothing to worry.
All the best.
