Suggest Remedy For Constipation And Tar Like Bowel Movement In Pregnancy
I'm 25 weeks pregnant. I've had constipation problems or diarrhea or even just normal bowel movements. But the past couple days, I feel really constipated, but when I go to the bathroom, I'm not and it's tar like and almost black. I've never had this before. Trying to decide if this is just yet another pregnancy thing.
