A member asked:

Is thick amniotic fluid will harm the baby ? how to treat that problem ? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Meconium? : I'm not sure if you are referring to thickened amniotic fluid that results from the baby having a bowel movement which is referred to as meconium? If so we only know about it at the time of delivery, and there is nothing to do except to make sure neonatology is present at the delivery to examine the baby ....
