When would meconium be present?
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.

What are the two most causes of lack of oxygen in infants?
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.
Can a fetus have a bowel movement in the mother's uterus?
Meconium is the baby's first bowel movement and it is a thick green tar-like substance. For most babies, meconium is released shortly after they are born. However, some babies release meconium during labor and delivery. When a woman is in labor, her doctor will be able to tell if the baby has had a bowel movement because her amniotic fluid will be stained with meconium. The baby will be monitored very closely for any signs of fetal distress. If meconium is present during labor or birth, the baby can aspirate the meconium or swallow it. Once the baby is born, the doctor will perform suctioning to reduce the amount of meconium that the baby can aspirate. If the baby does inhale the meconium, it can cause Meconium Aspiration Syndrome which can lead to meconium aspiration pneumonia - both can be very serious. As a result, the baby will be closely monitored and may require a stay in the NICU for several days to a few weeks. Treatment may include antibiotics or a ventilator. The doctor will perform chest x rays to make sure the lungs are functioning normally. Babies swallowing meconium is more common than one may think. Ask some friends - chances are pretty good that it's happened to someone you know.
What the medical term meaning urine in the lung?
Urine in the lung of an adult would be very rare, so assuming you mean urine in the lung of an infant or newborn, the term you are looking for would probably be AFA or Amniotic Fluid Aspiration. After the 36th week of pregnancy, the amniotic fluid filling the sac around the fetus is made up mostly of the urine of the fetus. During labor and delivery infants can aspirate or breathe and pull the amniotic fluid into their lungs. This aspiration can lead to respiratory distress or respiratory distress syndrome and lung infections in the newborns. Sometimes the amniotic fluid around the time of delivery also contains meconium which is the digestive excrement of the fetus. Meconium aspiration is also a term used for this, and since the amniotic fluid is mostly urine, there will also be urine that gets into the lungs at the same time. Meconium aspiration can also lead to serious respiratory problems in the newborn.
