I m currently 35weeks pregnant and have been taking an iron supplement but not regularly, maybe everyother day. I recently increased my fiber intake and i am seeing black/dark colored loose stool today. is it possible that the fiber is simply helping out the excess iron build up or is this a problem. i have also had a sharp pain just to the left of my belly button if i twist or turn to the left it s quick though and doesn t hurt otherwise.
