It could be the Iron tablets but as you're pregnant it could be hormones, change in diet or even just a simple colon infection.

Go to your doctor as worst case scenario it could be cancer, chrons or proctitis.

It's better to be safe than sorry, especially in the early stages of noticing the change, my dad left it for years and then was told he had proctitis.

Like I said though, could be nothing but if the discharge turns to blood or you get abdominable pains get an emergency appointment as you will be admitted to hospital for certain tests as that is a sign of infection or cancer.
 
It could be the iron tablets. Iron will make your stool a dark green almost black color. Don't worry, the baby will take what they need from you and as long as you are taking your vitamins and especially your water, you will be fine too.
