Tmi *no pic* stool

I started a different kind of prenatal about 4 days ago. Yesterday and today I have noticed my stool is nearly black. I have no pain or discomfort while going to the bathroom. 
Has anyone else seen that kind of difference from their vitamins?

It's the iron

I've read somewhere that the iron in prenatals can cause that but I would check with your doctor just to make sure.

I had black throughout my entire first pregnancy. Thought it was the prenatals but I even had it when I didn't take them! So I don't think it's abnormal. Just everyone is different :)

Black can be old blood in your stool which could mean a upper GI bleed, but also if you have taken pepto it can do the same

I don't know about just black in color if it's normal but I've read that if it's like black coffee grounds you need medical attention.
