Black stools during early pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy, the stool appears gray and black, which is mostly related to diet. For example, eating some iron-rich foods can easily cause the stool to appear gray and black. If you pay attention to your diet and do not eat foods high in copper for a period of time, and the phenomenon of black stools has improved, it means that the food is causing it. However, there are also cases where holes in the digestive system cause black stools. Therefore, if your stomach is not in good condition, you need to do a gastroscopy to see if there is any gastrointestinal bleeding.

Black stool in early pregnancy is related to diet. The color of stool will change after eating fruits, vegetables or animal blood. It will appear gray-black and light green and will return to normal after a few days. There is no need to worry too much. Taking iron supplements will also affect the color of stool, and bowel movements will return to normal after stopping the medication. If you take certain Chinese medicinal herbs in the early stages of pregnancy, the color of your stool will also change. The body does change during pregnancy, but it will not affect the color of the stool. If the color of the stool changes due to food or medicine, you must pay attention to it.

In order to prevent the existence of gastrointestinal bleeding and other diseases, such as gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, etc., most of them will be accompanied by abdominal discomfort and affect the physical and mental health of pregnant women. You can drink more warm water to avoid constipation on a daily basis. During pregnancy, you should maintain smooth bowel movements, eat more nutritious foods, and seek medical treatment in time if you find any abnormalities in your body to avoid affecting the normal growth and development of the fetus.
