I had a c-section 4 weeks ago and am taking iron supplements due blood loss. As embarrassing as it is, is your stool supposed to be dark (almost black in colour?) Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes, I have heard that your stool darkens in colour. Confirm with your dr to double check, but until you speak to your dr don't panic, I have heard it does darken. Do call your dr though

Yes, it can do that. Also, iron can constipate you. I'd see your doc, though, because black stools can also sometimes mean blood in the stools, but it's likely just the iron doing it!
