Brief Answer:
Possibly related to Iron capsules taken during pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Man,
I understand your concern.
Black stools in your case could be related to Iron composition of your tablets.
So nothing to worry.
But if you have any symtoms assosciated with black stools you need to get evaluated for Upper Gastrointestinal intestinal bleeding.
You need minimum 8-10 hours of sleep everyday for good growth of your baby.
Prolonged sleeplessness may lead to release of stress hormones thereby decreasing growth of fetus.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
