I believe everyone knows the importance of amniotic fluid to babies. Amniotic fluid gradually increases with gestational age, but it gradually decreases in the last 2-4 weeks of pregnancy. Some pregnant women are worried about oligohydramnios during pregnancy check ups. Do they want to know if oligohydramnios has an impact on the fetus entering the womb?
When pregnant, if there is less amniotic fluid in the uterus, it does not affect the fetus's entry into the uterus. However, less amniotic fluid can affect the development of the fetus, restrict its movement in the uterus, and easily lead to intrauterine distress. In severe cases, it can directly cause fetal hypoxia. So if a pregnant woman is found to have oligohydramnios during a check-up, timely symptomatic treatment and adjustment must be carried out.
Oligohydramnios can have varying degrees of impact on both the fetus and the pregnant mother, and should be taken seriously. Once pregnant women find that their abdominal growth is not significant or there is abnormal fetal movement, they should promptly go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination and receive necessary treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If oligohydramnios is found during pregnancy and fetal malformation is confirmed, the pregnancy should be terminated immediately.
If the diagnosis of oligohydramnios during pregnancy is clear, there are no fetal abnormalities, and the fetus has matured, it may be considered to terminate the pregnancy by cesarean section to ensure the safety of both the pregnant woman and the fetus.
If oligohydramnios is caused by insufficient maternal blood volume or hypoxia, pregnant women can receive treatment through methods such as drinking plenty of water, intravenous infusion, and oxygen inhalation. During treatment, pregnant women should control their emotions and follow medical advice carefully.
