What Could Be The Reason For Black Colored Stool During 6th Week Of Pregnancy?
im nearly 6 weeks pregnant and have been having trouble passing stool and when i do it's black. As i have only just found out that i am pregnant i have only taken 1 multi vit (yesterday) which has iron in it. Could my body be producing to much iron? or could it be something else?

Multivitamin tablets containing iron causes black stool.Pregnancy decrease intestinal motility, so it causes constipation. Hence you are having constipation & black stool.
