Your digestive tract slows down, and you tend to produce more bile. This can cause a lot of different coloured poop, including grean. Also food colouring will effect you more. Blue and purple food colouring will turn your poop neon green. Eating a lot of green veggies can turn your poop green, so can iron suppliments from your prenatal vitamins.

Answer 2

Your digestive system changes a lot and slows down some while PG. I always noticed a lot of color changes based on what I ate while PG. Also, the green color could be due to the increased amount of iron you are getting from you PNV's.

Answer 3

nothing to worry..i am 6 weeks pregnant and have the same issues..do you have any iron supplements? Iron supplements can cause green bowl movement. most prenatal vitamins have iron. So, I think you have nothing to worry, except if you have severe diarrhea for more than few days…
