W hen I finally went into labour six days after my due date, little did I know my son would enter this world by an unplanned c-section. After a good 24 hours of contractions, the doctor on duty at the hospital broke my waters to speed things along, only to find meconium spilling out with everything else, quite common with overdue babies, I guess. In essence, meconium is baby poop, and in most cases, its presence indicates a toxic condition that is no good for anyone. It almost always calls for an immediate c-section, as was the case with me.
