Abstract
Introduction
The history of the word ‘ meconium' holds interest for all of us involved in perinatal care. Meconium is the dark greenish brown material excreted in utero, usually from a full term fetus. Fetal hypoxic distress causes neural stimulation of the mature gastrointestinal tract, which is caused by vagal stimulation from head or cord compression; resulting in peristalsis of the gut and relaxation of anal sphincter.
