I had obstetric cholestasis and had to be induced. When they broke my waters they were really thick with mec. It looked like I had severe diarrhoea.

I'd already been in early labour for a week and I was induced 2.5 weeks early.

Doc said at 6 week check up it was lucky.

That said, there was no paediatrician there despite my condition and the mec. They suctioned her lungs with her on my chest and we had skin to skin right away. I'm a bit shocked about that, but there were a few other births happening at the exact same time, I guess the paeds were all busy.
