Green stringy poo 6 weeks old - photo

Baby girl is EBF. Slept loads more than she usually does today. Produced 8 very runny poops, each one has got greener. This one is mucusy, almost stringy. I have not felt well today - dizzy spells and diarrhoea. Baby seems ok in herself, eating fine, content when awake.. Should I be concerned?
