Meconium effects on featus

[isha65]

How do meconium effect featus? how long can a pregnant (already with delivery pains) be kept waited for viginal delivery when the meconium is revealed in the fluid?

I'm not exactly sure how long she was in labour for but she delivered naturally I'm really sorry about what happened to you and your baby x

Dr noticed meconium during cervical check during labor at 10am.dr told the fluid is green due to meconium. I was told baby would be tired and because of that oxytocin drip is given at a slow rate.Since there were chances of normal delivery(vaginal birth) dr did not take the matter as a serious issue and kept trying for virginal birth. At full (10cm) dilatation, there were no signs of head coming out due to which they have extracted baby at 8pm through C-section. unluckily she couldnt do well and survived only for 6hrs.

How far did it take your friend to deliver baby once they broke her waters? was it a C-section?

My friend had this happen, it can happen in a small amount of pregnancies during labour but It can also be because the baby is stressed, my friend didnt know till they broke her waters and it came out green, and get baby is healthy apart from having cystic fibrosis ( not related)

if it is found in your fluid it would be in yours and babies best interest to deliver as soon as possible as baby could severly suffer from this. how far along are you?
