Nothing really: Nothing you have mentioned sounds abnormal and it shouldnt have any effect on your pregnancy or babys health. I would recommend adding fiber supplements such as metamucil or citrucel to bulk up the stool. Best of luck with your pregnancy!

Pretty common: The color in stool is the breakdown product of the bile when it has not been in the gut long enough to go through a change from green thru yellow to brown. It is normal as is the loose consistency. Some digested material will take on a darker tint than others & the germs in the gut will also impact the final product. I'd ignore the whole issue.It is not a risk for baby.
