"Meconium in the amniotic fluid". Meconium is a very dark green color.

It can also be referred to as "meconium stain" when there is only a small amount in the fluid. Meconium is the name for the infants' first fecal material, which has some different characteristics than that of later stools that are the products of food digestion. Meconium in the amniotic fluid can sometimes (but not always) be an indication of fetal distress during delivery, or certain medical conditions in a baby.

I know in Portuguese: mecônio.
