Personal and kind of gross but i need to know ?

Question

Ok so im thinking i might be pregnant and i was wondering if while any of you ladies were pregnant if you stool had been dark green or black? thanks for the response and being so grafic

Answer 1

Your stool can be any colour depending on what you have eaten. Dark green vegetables, especially spinach, will do that. Iron suppliments will make your stool black. If there is no pain or bleeding and it is normal and not runny or shockingly smelly then all appears normal.

If you are really concerned then see you GP for a check up.

and while you are there have a pregnancy test.

Answer 2

its a overproduction of bile or pepsin (i don't remember which one ) in the stomach it happens to me when I get real upset over something or somthing is realy bothering me look in heart and discover the thing that may be bothering you  (no i am not a doctor)

Answer 3

If you are taking iron supplements, they will definitely turn your stool dark green or black.  It happened to me with both of my kids.  As long as you don't have other signs of bleeding ulcers (like stomach pain), then I would not be overly alarmed.  But be sure to ask your OB about it at your next visit.

Answer 4

Sometimes black stool can be caused by taking peptobismol, malox etc. If you haven't been taking anything like that and you continue to have black stools that is an indication of a bleeding ulcer and should follow up with either your primary care physician or gastroenterologist..

Answer 5

Take a freaking pregnancy test!

Answer 6

That happens when i take iron pills. It could be anything... It did not happen to me when i got pregnant though.
