What Causes Passing Of Pale Stool?
Hi, I m 31 weeks pregnant, and I went to the bathroom today and my stool is a very strange color. It s not grey or white, it s like a light tan color. Never experienced this before and wondering if something is seriously wrong or if it s just something I ate. And I am wondering if it could harm the baby at all. Thank you.

Hello
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concerns.Passing of light tan color stools is not a matter of concern.It doesnt hurt your baby in any way.
It is most probably due to the food that you ate previous day.
It can rarely occur in some cases of cholestasis of pregnancy.It is a physiological entity.It is seen in some pregnant women and doesn't require any treatment.
Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
