You are pooping black and am pregnant it that bad?

Answer 1

You may have digested blood in your stool in order to get the black, tarry consistancy and color. This may be from a range of digestive problems, including ulcers. You should see your doctor as soon as possible, as this symptom can be related to a wide range of serious medical problems. Since this is not involving the reproductive system, it may not be very threatening to the baby, but you DO want to get this checked out with your primary care physician as soon as possible.
