There are many things that women need to pay attention to after pregnancy. In addition to protecting their own bodies, they also need to pay attention to regular prenatal check ups. When abnormalities are detected, timely intervention can also be carried out. Some pregnant women find that their amniotic fluid is less than normal during examination, and they are worried that it may be a chromosomal abnormality. So, is less amniotic fluid a chromosomal problem in the child?
Oligohydramnios is generally a chromosomal problem in children, which is often related to poor placental circulation function, or may be caused by fetal malformations or expired pregnancies. Oligohydramnios usually leads to restricted fetal movement, which is likely caused by fetal malposition or underdeveloped lung function. Therefore, pregnant women should undergo ultrasound examination in a timely manner and pay attention to the development of the fetus. If placental dysfunction occurs, pregnancy can be terminated early under the guidance of a doctor to avoid fetal asphyxia caused by oligohydramnios.
If a pregnant woman discovers oligohydramnios during mid pregnancy, it is necessary to promptly rule out any abnormalities in the fetus, as urinary system abnormalities, digestive tract abnormalities, or neural tube abnormalities can sometimes lead to oligohydramnios.
In the late stages of pregnancy, a common cause of oligohydramnios is that the pregnant woman drinks less water, sweats more, has insufficient blood circulation, and has less amniotic fluid in the fetus. After rehydration and ultrasound examination, it can be restored to normal. Attention should be paid to the possibility of fetal intrauterine hypoxia in pregnant women with oligohydramnios. In addition to amniotic fluid, there are often other manifestations such as fetal heart rate monitoring, fetal size, and abnormal umbilical blood flow.
