Poll: Did your baby pass meconium?

REOM

If yes, how many weeks were you when you delivered?

I am amazed that my baby, born at 37w3d, did.  She also had vernix. Strange.

This is spurred by my friend's baby who did, but she was 10 days overdue.

I had one baby that did, one that didn't.

Ds was a few days past his EDD and no meconium. 

Dd was two weeks early and had the slightest, tiniest bit of meconium in the fluid.

DD was born at 37 weeks and I had meconium in my water.  I ended up with an emergency c/s so DS was also a c/s.

How sad is it that I don't even know because my baby was in the NICU in a different hospital than me! I guess I will see this time around!

Evan passed a lot of meconium, and he was right on his due date.

Mrs Manners

DS had both. They saw the meconium and freaked out a little, told me they were going to have to clean him up first and didn't want him to cry right away because he would suck it into his lungs. Well...he came out crying so they ended up having to do chest xrays and antibiotics. He was in the NICU anyway because he was almost 8 weeks early. He had vernix and was a hairy little bugger all over.

Both of mine did, and both were born in my 38th week. DS hadn't swallowed any, but DD had to have a tube put down her throat to clear it out. It freaked me out b/c I was on the OR table and couldn't hear her cry right away. It took what seemed like forever. Her Apgars were low b/c of it (the dr. said, anyway), but they went up after her suctioning.

My dd did but I had a cs and they had already pulled her head out before she did it.  She was born the day after her due date.
