Abstract

Background: The presence of meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) during labour is often associated with a lot of adverse outcomes and historically has been considered to be a predictor of bad neonatal outcome. It is associated with fetal hypoxia and leads to emergency C/S, instrumental vaginal delivery for fetal distress, low Apgar score at birth, meconium aspiration syndrome and neuro-developmental handicaps.
