27 weeks with runny stools and taking iron

Is anyone else taking an iron supplement and have runny dark green stools? I've had it for a few days and was wondering if this is normal. I guess it's better than being constipated.

The dark green stool is normal not sure about it being runny tho, I would trade with you seeing as though I'm always constipated from my iron pills....

I have the same case as you ever since my doctor gave me the iron tablets. I guess it's normal. I would like to think that it's normal. Have a happy pregnancy!
