During pregnancy, pregnant women and their families are very careful to avoid situations such as miscarriage and premature birth. No matter how careful the pregnancy is, pregnant women need to go to the hospital for examination to determine their own and the fetus's physical condition. In late pregnancy, pregnant women should pay more attention to the condition of amniotic fluid in the uterus. So, what is the normal value of amniotic fluid at 24 weeks of pregnancy?
When pregnant women are 24 weeks pregnant, their amniotic fluid index should be between 8-18 centimeters, and the depth of amniotic fluid should be between 3-8 centimeters. If the depth of amniotic fluid in a pregnant woman exceeds 8 centimeters, it indicates polyhydramnios; If the depth of amniotic fluid is less than 3 centimeters, it is oligohydramnios. The depth of amniotic fluid is the maximum vertical depth of the amniotic fluid pool measured by ultrasound, which is one of the criteria for judging fetal development and is very important for the fetus.
If a pregnant woman has excessive or insufficient amniotic fluid in the uterus, it can have a certain impact on fetal development. When pregnant women have insufficient amniotic fluid in the uterus, it can cause fetal hypoxia and asphyxia. If there is excessive amniotic fluid, conditions such as umbilical cord detachment and fetal underdevelopment may occur. So pregnant women should monitor changes in amniotic fluid at any time during pregnancy, detect and treat them in a timely manner, and ensure normal fetal development.
If oligohydramnios is found in the late stage of pregnancy, it may be considered to stop the pregnancy or inject amniotic fluid into the uterus. Excessive amniotic fluid can also cause early termination of pregnancy, but if the fetal development is not mature, this method cannot be used. It is necessary to remove some of the amniotic fluid from the pregnant woman's uterus to ensure normal fetal development.
