| meconium aspiration |
A baby which becomes distressed before delivery may pass meconium (the dark greenish material described above) while he or she is still in the womb. If the baby then inhales the fluid in which he or she is "floating" in the womb, the sticky material irritates and partially blocks the airways, causing breathing difficulties in around the time that the baby is born.
