Are you sure it is totally black? Might be your body too heaty, that's why u r constipated....and when you don't poo often.
Drink lots of water meantime, but if you r really worried, better don't wait till 2 weeks later, go see the doc soon

mommies, jus to share my google findings n i personally tried n tested it works...
DON'T:
take iron together w/ calcium.. calcium will deter the absorption of iron n cause u a lousy day (restless n giddiness)
don't just rely on supplement pills, cos not 100% of it can be absorbed by our body..
PLS DO:
take iron together w/ vitamin c.. vitC helps boost the absorption of iron
take plenty of fiber.. cos iron usually cause constipation
other than the supplement pills.. pls get iron/vitC/fiber from NATURAL food source cos they are most easily digest n fully absorb by our body

Can i not take iron pills? Constipation is bad enough....do you gals think it's gonna be a big issue? So far my gynae has not prescribed....i am 17 weeks preggie now.......only taking DHA, Calcium and Folic acid....:red:
iron pills help bb alot or else doc wont prescribe... doc will advice u to drink lotsa water,fruits n vege. Have u tried plum juice? I believe plum juice help alot of us during constipation... for me,im 20 weeks liao n no more constipation liao... usuali it gets better. or u can ask doc for constipation med,help u pass motion... its veri safe for baby so no prob...
