That is not "ewww... TMI" its not like she posted a picture of it. Its a valid question. Saying things like that make someone feel bad about posting. Like the others said its probably from the iron, my prenatals say something on the package about urine and poop being colored or something.

There is no such thing as TMI on a pregnancy or TTC board.

@Sami- Its probably just your prenatals. Iron will do that.

Definition
By Mayo Clinic staff

Green stool — when your feces (poop) looks green — is usually the result of something you ate, such as spinach. Green stool also can occur after you consume certain medications or iron supplements.

Newborns pass a dark green stool called meconium and breast-fed infants often produce yellow-green stools. In older children and adults, green stool is uncommon and rarely cause for concern.

Sorry everybody. I meant to be funny but I just I failed there. Trust me, I wasn't trying to make anyone feel bad. It's just when I saw the thread title and the opening post, I imagined myself starting it the exact same way (again, a decent percentage of my posts could be classified under TMI) and laughed and then tried to have a little fun with it. I guess my crappy attempt at sarcasm doesn't come across on a message board. I apoligize if I offended anyone.

It can be something as simple as food dyes. It's not a cause for concern-that would be black looking stool or anything with blood in it.

Once worked with a kid who was pooping blue-turned out he ate a blue water color tablet!

Just popping in from second tri. I had this in first tri and no clue why! I was sooo sick I was not taking prenatal vitamins (horrible I know). Anyhow, it happened for a while, didn't seem to correspond with anything I ate, and went away on it's own. I don't think it's cause for concern.

I also had it but it was v=because of the prenatal vitamins

 

[SamyBaby1]

Gals...u are so correct...got new prenatals 3 days ago....and yes urine is yellow too....now i know y.....thank you

I get green poop when I eat a lot of cool ranch Doritos, no lie. I think it's the dye in the chips. Do you have a really clear system?

 

[moon.peach]

Crazy, I was having green poo for a little while (I had it before I was pregnant and when it surfaced again, figured it was just maybe eating veggies and such.) but I was still wondering. I ran out of my store-bought pre-natals a while ago (I was always trying to take them in case we ever did become pregnant.) but that's a valid point.

Also, grape koolaid will give you kelly green poo. It's quite shocking. More likely it is the prenatals though. My pee is highlighter yellow sometimes, but no noticeable green poo here.

Dehydration... But most likely your prenatal vitamins are the cause
