    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    Will taking a laxative (one dose) while pregnant cause meconium in the waters? I'm 38 weeks.

    You were born Monday June 3rd, 2002, Wow! I thought something might be up when I was having contractions Sunday at church. I'd only had them at night before. Well, my water broke about 5:30 am. The contractions were about 10 minutes apart and 20-30 seconds long.

    I started having contractions on Monday, December 1. They were about 5 minutes apart the whole day and we were excited that it finally seemed to be "IT." I was due November 23, so I was ready!
