A member asked:
My mom said i swallowed the fluid when i was born and it went into my lungs could this be why my lungs are bad my dr won't xray them?

Can't say: The lungs of all babies are totally filled with amniotic fluid and are airless before they take their first breath. Sometimes, the fetus has a bowel movement (meconium) in the womb and may aspirate the meconium stained fluid into the lungs which can result in a pneumonia with residual lung damage. If there are no acute lung findings your doctor may not see the need to x-ray them.
