TMI-pregnancy related or nott?

[bbyno1]

this sounds disgusting but i just went to the toilet..
not a wee but you know what..and its blackk..like really dark
i just typed it in google quick and the answers come up saying go hospital asap as it means there is blood in it
i just got piles a few days ago aswell
could that be something to do with it or is it really blood?xx

nope your poo darkens in later stages of pregnancy due to the baby stealing all the nutrients from your food.
i would only say go hospital if parts of it are black and parts are normaly colour as blood in the poo wont discolour the whole poo. xx

Are you taking iron tablets? I'm taking them at the moment and have exactly the same as you. It is one of the side effects. xo

My poo never went that colour but I don't know if it's normal or not. If your concerned you should phone your MW to be reassured xx

 

[bbyno1]

it was all that colour..
and i actually am taking iron tablets..3a day so maybe thats why??im gunna read the leaflet now..x

It'll probably be the iron tablets hun, that's a really common side effect

 

[rainbows_x]

Yeah I've heard iron tablets can make it turn black, try not to worry

xxx

 

[tashaclaire]

It will be the iron tablets. Thankfully my mum warned me before I started taking them or I would have been just as worried as you. xox

 

[bbyno1]

aww..when i saw it i was just like omgg..looks like a babys 1st ever toilet lol
thank god it isnt bleeding then
im gunna be on these iron tablets til end of the pregnancy so better get used to it!x

After I started taking my iron tablets I felt like I had a lot more energy. Hopefully your feeling the same! I think I will continue them after birth also! xo

 

[bbyno1]

ahh lucky you lol
i feel even worse!not energy wise just like generally more tired sleep wise lol before i was taking them 4 hours a night was enough sleep for me ow im having like 8 hours and still shatterd! but iv only been on them 5days so hopefully they will do something soon lol x

 

[tashaclaire]

I hope they start to work for you soon. I went to my local chemist and got a natural Iron supplement (aswel as the tablets from DR.) and I think it has worked really well. It's called Spatone. You add it to water or orange juice and drink. I try and get a 30 min nap in the afternoon and try and sleep 10pm til 7am. Seems to help me. I'l pass some energy your way! xox

 

[bbyno1]

please dolol
i find i can walk for hours without getting tired but if im standing still like say im waiting for a bus for a while it feels like im just going to drop!aslong as i keep on the move im fine ..quite weird lol but glad you got your energy and they are working for youx
