In the womb of a pregnant woman, there is not only the fetus, but also the placenta, amniotic fluid, etc. The placenta and amniotic fluid can play an important role. Take amniotic fluid as an example, it can protect the fetus, allowing it to move freely in the abdomen and reducing fetal trauma. At the same time, it can also reduce infections. However, there is a certain standard range for amniotic fluid, and too much or too little can affect the health of the fetus. Especially if there is a shortage of amniotic fluid that can endanger the life of the fetus, what should we do?
If the amniotic fluid is low, you can drink plenty of water to replenish fluids. Of course, you can also eat fruits with high water content or drink more soups during meals to replenish amniotic fluid.
During pregnancy, if a lack of amniotic fluid is detected, it can lead to poor fetal development. If the amniotic fluid is severely insufficient, it is more likely to cause fetal asphyxia. Therefore, timely supplementation is necessary when a lack of amniotic fluid is detected. If the amniotic fluid is too low, it is necessary to go to the hospital for intravenous treatment.
There are two reasons for oligohydramnios. On the one hand, it is due to the mother's reasons. For example, if the mother consumes less water in her daily life, or if the mother is affected by medication and has gestational hypertension or hypovolemia in breast milk, it can lead to oligohydramnios. On the other hand, it is due to fetal reasons, such as urinary system abnormalities, fetal growth retardation, or early pregnancy water rupture, fetal overripe, etc., which can also lead to oligohydramnios.
