A member asked:
Does meconium determine how postterm you are?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
? never heard of it: I've been in the business of caring for babies a long time and never heard of anyone relating meconium to gestational age. It starts forming after 12 weeks or so and stops at delivery. Post term status is most often apparent by physical exam of the baby.
