Pale stool after noro - 36 weeks pregnant

Anyone know anything about after effects of noro/gastro?

I was admitted on new years eve with a vomiting bug as I was so dehydrated my kidneys were spasming every 15 mins and we thought I was in preterm labour (I wasntt).

Was given 2 bags of fluid, an anti sickness jag and a box of anti sickness tablets to take home which i took for 2 days.

Had my first bowel movement yesterday and it was like practically white? Like really pale pale brown. Same again tonight.

Is this normal or should I call docs or midwife tomorrow? Googled it (stupidly) and it talks about liver or gall bladder issues and lack of bile production. Not sure if maybe I spewed all the bile up and it takes time to come back.

Would normally leave it a few days longer but with baby due soon dont want to risk anything so any advice appreciated

I'm not sure.
I remember having bits of black in mine and freaked out then thought it could of been the iron tablets but definitely phone your midwife and GP to get checked over. All the best OP X

What have you been eating? From what I remember it took time to get back to normal but your pregnant so speak to a dr

A pale stool after a bad case of viral gastroenteritis is not that unusual, I don't think. It's happened to me before. But considering that you're 36 weeks and may be taking longer to recover from the noro than you normally would, sounds like it would be a good idea to ring the GP or midwife.
