What causes low amniotic fluid in late pregnancy? What effect does low amniotic fluid have on the fetus?

Effects on the baby: Simply put, the relationship between the baby and the amniotic fluid of pregnant women is like the relationship between Pisces and water. A small amount of amniotic fluid from pregnant women will increase the baby's space for movement, and the fetus will be in a very comfortable state. On the contrary, if the amniotic fluid is low, the baby will lack oxygen. At worst, it will seriously endanger his life. And deformities may occur. Harm to pregnant mothers: The rate of cesarean section among pregnant mothers increases. Drinking more water during pregnancy may increase amniotic fluid volume. You must be concerned when the amniotic fluid is low in the third trimester. The main source of amniotic fluid in pregnant women is the baby's urine. If the amniotic fluid is low in the second trimester of pregnancy, you must check whether the fetus has any organ malformations.

If there is less amniotic fluid in the later stages of pregnancy, after the expected date of delivery, not only must the problem of the baby be eliminated at this time, but the amniotic fluid will naturally decrease in the third trimester, and the position of the fetus at that time must also be checked. It has something to do with the exact location measured by the doctor. Attention should be paid to the function of the placenta. When the placental function is not good, it is easy to cause less amniotic fluid, or even turbidity of the amniotic fluid in pregnant women. If the condition of low amniotic fluid is met, active induction of labor should be performed to terminate the pregnancy. If the amniotic fluid is low, the pregnant mother will feel uncomfortable when the baby moves. After 28 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant mothers need daily fetal movements to detect the condition of the fetus in the uterus. If the fetal movements decrease significantly, they must seek medical treatment immediately.

Under normal circumstances, pregnant mothers with low amniotic fluid will feel that their abdominal cavity is small. At this time, they can go for B-ultrasound examination. B-ultrasound is the most important way to diagnose low amniotic fluid. When the amniotic fluid is low, the cervix will become particularly sensitive, causing uterine contractions. If there is something wrong with the embryo, such as partial embryonic abruption, the embryo will not be able to provide sufficient blood and nutrients to the baby, thus causing the fetus to interrupt the amniotic fluid circulation of the mother. Amniotic fluid is a liquid that fills the amniotic cavity. It is an important substance in the uterine environment that the fetus depends on for survival. The fetus is wrapped in the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman during the entire pregnancy. Generally, hospitals accurately measure the depth of amniotic fluid, which is reflected in the B-ultrasound sheet.

After the second trimester, the urine excreted by the baby is the main source of the amniotic fluid of pregnant women. More than 90% of the amniotic fluid of pregnant women is composed of water, as well as other minerals, fetal dirt, and fetal fluids. Somatic cells, etc. The amount of amniotic fluid can be a prerequisite for whether the fetus has abnormalities. Once the amount of amniotic fluid is found to be low in the second trimester of pregnancy, it may be caused by urinary tract abnormalities in the fetus, the baby has no kidneys, abnormal kidney growth and development, problems with the blood circulation system, and the inability to urinate normally, or the urination volume is low, resulting in Amniotic fluid volume decreases. Pregnancies involving twins or twins are also prone to oligohydramnios, with one baby having too little amniotic fluid and the other having too much amniotic fluid. Pregnant mothers have recently been drinking less water, experiencing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, volumeuria, drug hazards, gestational hypertension, etc., resulting in reduced blood in the body, or insufficient water intake, resulting in reduced amniotic fluid volume.
