I am 5 months pregnant and went to the bathroom an passed a orange looking feces.?

does any one know if this is normal? please help?

What have you been eating? This happened to me when I was pregnant except it wasn't orange. I ate a whole red velvet cake, seriously hard core cravings, and the next day I thought I was hemorrhaging. I was just about to call my doctor when I realized what I had ate the previous day.

If you haven't had much food that is high in orange dyes and are really sure of it then it could mean you aren't getting enough iron in your diet. You can tell this by your feces, if they are dark your fine, if they are light than you need find ways to incorporate more iron rich foods, any type of red fruit, red meats, etc. Was it a light orange?

Finally, I would relax. The color doesn't mean there is something terribly wrong, at worse you need to eat more iron. I know this gastroenterologist who talks about people calling him in the middle of the night freaked out because their stool isn't it's usual color or texture and how they tell him they have samples they'll bring in for him to look at. Really, the color is of no great importance but if you're still concerned call your doctor. Hope that helped!
