Amniotic fluid is very important for the fetus because it is an essential substance for the survival of the fetus. Therefore, in prenatal examinations, the examination of amniotic fluid is also indispensable. Many pregnant women may experience insufficient amniotic fluid, which is a cause for great concern. Can pregnant women supplement their amniotic fluid by eating watermelon?
Watermelon is diuretic, eating too much can increase the frequency of urination. Pregnant women who eat watermelon will only have less amniotic fluid, so eating watermelon cannot replenish amniotic fluid. If pregnant women have low amniotic fluid, they should not eat watermelon. In addition, watermelon is a cool food, so pregnant women should be more cautious when eating it. If they feel thirsty in summer, they can eat it in moderation, with the principle of not harming the body.
When pregnant women have low amniotic fluid, they can increase it by drinking a large amount of water. Drinking 2000ml of water within two hours can temporarily increase the amount of amniotic fluid, but this cannot guarantee long-term maintenance of amniotic fluid because after a period of time, the amount of amniotic fluid will decrease and cannot last for a long time.
You can also drink more nutritious drinks such as soy milk, milk, and fruit juice in your daily life, and you should also include soup in your three meals a day. If pregnant women need to increase amniotic fluid in a short time, they can also drink 1000ml of soybean milk, 500ml of milk and 1500ml of water within two hours, but like drinking water, it will become invalid after a period of time.
If the low amniotic fluid volume is severe, the effect of dietary supplementation may not be particularly ideal. It is necessary to supplement the amniotic fluid volume as soon as possible through intravenous infusion, and at the same time, oxygen should be supplemented immediately to increase the amniotic fluid volume and avoid fetal hypoxia due to low amniotic fluid.
