Back with a second preemie--meconium question

Hi ladies, looks like both my kiddos insist on coming early. Dd was born two days ago at just over 36 weeks, possibly with late onset IUGR (my son was taken out at 34w 5d from very severe IUGR at 3lb 3oz). Anyhow, it is now 36 hours and she hasnt passed any meconium. Dh is with her in radiolog right now for an evaluation. When did your preemie pass their first meconium stool?

  • I'm pretty sure we didn't have a meconium stool for 2-3 days; although I can't remember for sure since the first week was such a blur. I'm almost positive it wasn't the day he was born or the day after, though.

  • Bradley didn't pass any meconium until 34 days and then only with help for another 34 days. It was like glue. But once all that passed, he's pooped like champ.

    Eta. Sigh. 3 to 4, not 34. Darn you bump mobile!
