What effect does excessive amniotic fluid have on the fetus

summary

Generally speaking, in the fetal growth environment, amniotic fluid plays an important role in protecting the fetal growth under the appropriate temperature. However, if there is too much amniotic fluid, it is also extremely unfavorable for the fetal growth. Therefore, this paper analyzes the impact of too much amniotic fluid on the fetus as follows.

What effect does excessive amniotic fluid have on the fetus

First of all: amniotic fluid refers to the fluid in the amniotic cavity of the uterus during pregnancy. In the process of female pregnancy and fetal growth, amniotic fluid is an indispensable part to ensure the life of the fetus. 98% of the amniotic fluid is water, with a small amount of inorganic salts, organic matter and exfoliated fetal cells.

Secondly, the normal range of amniotic fluid volume is 300-2000 ml. Exceeding this range is called "polyhydramnios", and failing to reach this standard is called "oligohydramnios".

Finally: too much amniotic fluid, excessive uterine expansion, expectant mothers will appear dyspnea, lower limb and perineal edema. The risk of placental abruption is relatively large, endangering the life of mother and child. Poor uterine contraction and postpartum hemorrhage are all possible complications. It is easy to cause premature birth.

matters needing attention

After understanding the impact of amniotic fluid on the fetus, if women find that they have too much amniotic fluid during pregnancy, they should also pay attention to the observation of blood pressure in the process of amniotic fluid release.
