mabey you should try it and if u get liver desiesae hahahahah i don't care it is not my prob
Meconium is found in a baby's intestines during pregnancy. It is a thick green tar like substance. Usually the meconium is released after the baby's birth. However, sometimes a baby will have a bowel movement before birth and the meconium will then go into the amniotic fluid. This could be dangerous for the baby.

If a baby swallows meconium, it can lead to a condition known as meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), where the meconium enters the airways and lungs during or after birth. This can cause breathing difficulties and can lead to inflammation and infection in the lungs. While many babies may experience mild symptoms, some may require medical intervention, such as oxygen support or suctioning to clear the airways. Prompt medical attention is essential to manage any complications that may arise.
Yes, a baby can swallow its bowel movement, known as meconium, regardless of the delivery method, including C-section. Meconium is the first stool a newborn passes, which can sometimes occur before or during labor. If the baby inhales or swallows meconium-stained amniotic fluid, it can lead to a condition called meconium aspiration syndrome, which may require medical attention. However, this is not specifically related to being born via C-section.
Meconium is a neonate's first bowel movement.
The two most common causes of lack of oxygen in infants are respiratory distress syndrome, which is a breathing disorder primarily affecting premature babies, and meconium aspiration syndrome, where a baby inhales a mixture of meconium and amniotic fluid during or shortly after birth, leading to respiratory distress.
