Meconium

And I still question, how and why do people do this more than once??? In my ignorance and because I am behind in my reading, I had to look up Meconium.

"When babies are developing in utero during pregnancy they ingest amniotic fluid and excrete it everyday which passes out through your own kidneys and urination. Meconium is the first stool a baby passes which is also a build-up of material gained during pregnancy and which must be expelled after birth.

Meconium is a greenish-black color and very sticky, tarry in its texture. If a baby passes it after birth there is no danger to it and it just naturally leaves the baby's body in the first few days after birth."

Yuchhh.
