Meconium staining of amniotic fluid at midtrimester amniocentesis.
Obstetrics and gynecology, 1977Meconium-stained fluid was found in six of the first 234 amniocenteses performed at the University of Washington Prenatal Diagnosis Center. The taps were done between 16 and 20 weeks from the last menstrual period. Although in each case there was a factor that could have produced fetal distress, in no instance did intrauterine demise occur.
