Thank for question
But need some more information
And examination
You’ve recently changed your diet (more fruits, less fat)
You have no other symptoms like pain, fever, or jaundice
Pregnancy affects digestion early on, and hormone changes (like rising progesterone) can slow down your gut, changing stool color or texture.
Next Steps
Very pale, clay-colored stool (could suggest liver/bile issues)
Upper abdominal pain, dark urine, or itchy skin
Diarrhea or undigested food often in stool
These could indicate issues like:
Gallbladder/bile flow problems
Liver function changes (rare but possible in pregnancy)
Health Tips
What You Can Do:
Stay well hydrated
Avoid greasy/heavy food for now
Continue prenatal care
Mention this change to your OB/GYN at your next visit
(or sooner if any above warning signs appear)
