Light Stool, totally freaked out
LovieBear

Sorry if this is TMI, I just went #2 and my stool was a light color... perhaps like a clay color.
I am calling my Dr. as soon as he opens but I am freaking out. I have never been pregnant before and I am in week 4.
?Anyone have any experience with this?

Yours isn't? I can't believe you're still able to sit up and type if you have different color poop sometimes *shudder*. Next thing you're gonna try and tell this girl is sometimes pee is a different color too...
Yes when I have been sick. What did you eat yesterday?
Agreed. I'd poop a couple of more times and look for a pattern before telling the doctor. I'd bet a whole quarter that they're going to say "nothing to worry about, but let me know if it happens again".

You're kidding right? No really, you are right?

Watch for a pattern over the next couple of days with your stool. If it continues, I would call your primary care provider, NOT your OB.
And remember- you are 4 weeks along. It is going to be a loonnnnggg pregnancy for you & everyone else around you if freak out at every little thing that is 'different' about your body during this time. Any non-emergent issue can be discussed at your scheduled office visits. One occurrence of different colored poop is generally not an emergent issue, nor is it generally an issue for your OB.Good heavens, it's probably something you ate - if something was wrong with your pregnancy, it wouldn't be your poo that would give you the first indication.
Relax.
Well I googled a bunch of stuff and it said you could have a liver problem. My husband things it just that I have eaten more fat than usual. I ate out for lunch and dinner yesterday (had a burger @ dinner and never order something like that)
I will just not stress about it over the weekend, have a dr. appt monday anyway so will see what he says.
Oh I forgot to metion I am a bit of a hypocondriac.
I've gotta say I really don't quite understand the snarkiness of this board sometimes. It's weird. There are a bunch of girls who are pregnant for the first time (including myself) and will obviously be 'freaking out' over nothing on occasion. So if you think it's a dumb question, don't answer it. No big deal.
To the OP- can't say I have ever had that issue, but I agree that it's probably not a big deal unless it keeps happening, then I would call the dr. Good luck! Also you should check out the October 2011 moms board if you haven't yet.

This whole thread is so outer limits.

Not to be mean, but I don't think this comes as a shock to anyone.
My poop has been all shapes sizes and colors since I found out I'm pregnant. As someone else said, unless there is blood in your stool, you're fine.
Freaking out over poop is a new one for me.
I never freaked out about poop shades when I was pregnant.
^ This is what my mind keeps going to. Not sure why.

That made me laugh
Did she have a liver problem?!! Did she eat too much dairy?!?!? Did she ever realize that she should just be happy to take a pregnancy shit?!?!
