Meconium: some explanations
Produced during pregnancy in the digestive system of the fetus, meconium will flow out through the sphincter of the newborn in the hours following delivery.
- Meconium is the term used to call the first poop of babies. This brown or greenish excrement is viscous and sticky: not very glamorous!
- Its discharge is a sign of good health, as it indicates the proper functioning of your baby's urinary and digestive systems, this is why health professionals usually monitor this stage.
- It typically lasts between 24 and 48 hours and is followed by the arrival of real stools.

Hey I just wanted to say this before any moms out there try the brew drink be careful and consider the risks it has on you and baby. It can cause your baby to poop in the womb before delivery (meconium) and I was hard headed and ignored other moms' experiences because I wanted the baby out faster with my first and he ended up pooping inside and caused jaundice for 1-2 days

The “midwives brew” it includes castor oil that's to help you “go into labor” in which it does for some and doesn't for others. But there's more negatives than positives

Can meconium be seen on ultrasound ever since I took the castor oil I’ve been seeing so many negative things it’s making me nervous Ik a baby can poop in the womb regardless I’m just scared he may even more now and if so can it be fixed at birth ?
Vienna
I remember there was a lady on here that took the castor oil turned out baby pooped in her waters, but there wasn't any complications. I think it makes more likely to have infections of babies lungs or aspiration but its pretty rare for it to actually happen. ❤️

Update: he was in distress a while ago and had a bowel movement (meconium) in the womb.They said I was 100 percent effaced at first because of my water putting that pressure, but now that they broke my water I’m only 60 % effaced and 6cm dilated but they’re still monitoring him and said he’s doing good 🤞🏾

Been at the hospital since 5pm yesterday. They’ve started to induce me due to baby taking a poop of meconium in the amniotic sac. On my second dose of CYTOTEC and still no dilation.
Paulina
Do you know what they will do if you still don’t dilate and you reach a certain point? Or can they wait a long time?

They’ve given me 4 small doses, one every 4th hour and still nothing. I’m thinking Pitocin is next. My birth plan went out the window. I’m thinking I might do an epidural if they go through with Pitocin.
All this pain from the cytotec for no damn reason. No nothing.

Hi, my baby is 10 days old. He pooped the meconium before we left the hospital but he has no pooped again. I am breastfeeding, but to ensure he gets enough food I started supplementing 40ML of formula. His doctor keep saying to try butt stimulation with a qtip and Vaseline. Any mamas experienced this? I really need him to poop.
