What Causes A Brown Stringy Substance In Stool During Pregnancy?

Hi, i just found out that i was pregnant not even two weeks ago and have made an appointment to see a doctor but have not gone. Today i went to the bathroom and there was this brown stringy thing in my stool. I ate some salty greasy Chinese food about an hour or so before. Could it have been my food or would it be a parasite?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
The stringy brown thing in your stools may be-
- undigested food string , which was consumed earlier. I do not see posseblity of food eaten one hour before,unless you have loose motions.
- It might be clotted blood string from-
- lower bowel, following constipation,bleeding due to stretch of anus.
- A blood clot string from vagina coming out while passing stools.
* this may be a single incidence. But if it repeates you have to be cautious.
I would advice you to consult your doctor & get treated according to symptoms.
Thanks.
