I am trying to find out if my wife is ok. From what I have read it does happen but I was curious if it was common. Thanks

Yes - since about the 25th week I've seen only green bowel movements! LOL! I'm at 35 weeks and taking iron supplements which I suspect have an impact on the color. But yes, I asked my doctor and it is completely normal. If you're concerned, I would call your doctor just to be safe.

Poop colors dont mean anything. They can be yellow, orange, green, purple.... It doesnt mean anything except that she ate something with those pigments in the food.
Blood (more than just a streak or two on the feces), chalky white, or something like that would be a concern.
But the wide colors of the rainbow are perfectly natural and normal.
Every eat broccoli soup all day? You'll poop nothing but green for a few days... lol. Digestion also changes the color properties of food. What went in purple might come out green, things like that.

It is depending on what you ate not how your body is processing it. If yesterday or the day before you ate a punch of parsley, lettuce...or something like that than yes, you will. Consider everything including food coloring (cake, candy...) that you have eaten in the last few days and if nothing applies call your obgyn and see what they say. I'm sure its something you ate heavy in food color probably, your body doesn't process fake color very well.
Good luck

It is perfectly normal for pregnant women to have green bm's especially if she is taking iron supplements.

Pregnant or not, your poop can be various colors. It depends on what was eaten, how your body digested it, etc. Green poop has nothing to do with being pregnant or not

If she's been eating a lot of salads or green vegetables.

Yes! Good for you, your eating lots of iron. (more green/blackish means too much iron).

It's ok....It was just from something that she ate or drank. It's not a problem.

yeah, it's probably a reflection of her changing diet
