pale stools - 36 weeks pregnant

pale stools - 36 weeks pregnant

Hi,
I am 36 weeks pregnant and have been feeling ill for the past few days - I felt a little nauseous for a few days (did not vomit) and  little diarrea (diarrhea) and then had pale, loose stools yesterday along with some severe gas pains and today normal pale stools no gas no nausea.  Just wondering what could cause the pale stools- I have heard of something to do with the liver that pregnant women can get but I think one of the main symptoms is severe itching and my skin does not itch at all.  Any ideas??  My midwife just thinks it is a GI bug or something, but would that cause blond stools?

Pale stools are usually a result of gallbladder issues - changes in bile release from the gallbladder into the duodenum.
