Dark Stool???

[kirstylm]

Sorry tmi alert! Last week or so I've had very dark poo and it's been a little diarrhoea like. Just weird consistency.
Anyone know why it's so dark though???

Are you on iron.tablets hun? That makes your stools black xx

Was just going to say exact same if you are on iron it makes your stools very dark x

Hope I don't gross you out. When you wipe, is it grainy or smeary? Does it look like sand in the stool or does it wipe like pudding would?

This is more indicative than just the color of the stool.

I'm just taking pregnecare, raspberry leaf, vit c, omega 3 and evening prim.
There's iron in the pregnecare I think.
But been taking this lot for a while and only gone dark last week or so.

This is so yuk but it's kinda like a thick mousse (Urgh sorry!) is quite smelly but had worse!

Mine's been the same as you in the last couple days... and I'm going like 4 times a day.. hoping it's a sign labor is about to start. I'm doing nothing different than I have throughout my pregnancy, still taking the same vitamins and now using EPO... so we'll see what happens. I wouldn't worry though.
