Full bowel - baby

Sam

Just had a quick ultrasound at 37 weeks to check on baby’s position. The doctor commented that he will have a huge bowel movement when he’s born, as his bowels are healthy and normal, but full!

Has anyone had this before? Is this normal? And is there an increased risk of passing meconium? Doctor didn’t seem concerned but also said well check again next week...
