Q: This May Sound Gross.....

But did anyone notice your poop get darker before you found out you were pregnant? All this week when I have gone to the toliet and wiped it was a dark brown almost black from my bum. Now here is the gross part, when I went to flush I noticed that the poop was very dark almost black.

Sorry if this is sounding gross but this has not happened to me before. I will find out next wednesday if we are pregnant or not.

Just talked to a friend of mine and she said it was from the iron in the materna pills that I started taking. I was taking folic acid but with us moving house soon and the hectic schedule at work I was not eating properly so she suggested taking those as they have folic acid in them too.
