Observe: Might be the raspberries. Your doctor can reassure you more, but if your stools remain dark they can recommend the best testing for your problem.

No worries: Raspberries are fine, and the nature of your recent stools are in the range of normal. Do keep your OB appointment and report your concerns to your clinician. Hope that helps.
