Pediatrician 's  Response
hi!! I can understand your concern. in my opinion you had a post dated pregnancy which might be the reason for passage of stool in utero. but that is not necessarily related to the liver enlargement that your doctor mentioned. liver enlargement could be a congenital problem which needs proper investigation. there is a risk of recurrence of this issue in your next pregnancy so I would advise you consult your doctor in your next issue.
