Amniotic fluid is a liquid that fills the amniotic cavity, and its composition and amount change with gestational age. Its main function is to protect the fetus and reduce maternal damage. Amniotic fluid is mostly colorless and transparent, and is an alkaline liquid. More than 90% of it is water and contains other minerals. So, is there a relationship between the amount of amniotic fluid and holding urine?
At the end of one month of pregnancy, the amniotic fluid volume is about 800-1000ml, and its AFP level can be used as an indicator to detect fetal abnormalities. By examining the fetal cell chromosomes in the amniotic fluid, genetic diseases can be determined. After mid pregnancy, the urine expelled by the fetus is an important source of amniotic fluid. It has certain effects on protecting the fetus, maintaining a constant intrauterine temperature, and maintaining fetal fluid balance.
There is no relationship between the amount of amniotic fluid and holding urine. Fetal malformations, multiple pregnancies, etc. can cause excessive amniotic fluid, which can be detected through four-dimensional ultrasound examination. It is recommended to drink less water and avoid eating salty foods. If necessary, hospitalization is required, and prenatal check ups should be strengthened to prevent physical abnormalities from causing harm to the fetus.
During pregnancy, it is necessary to take good care of oneself, develop good lifestyle habits, ensure sufficient sleep, avoid overwork, pay more attention to rest, engage in appropriate physical exercise, have a reasonable diet, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, which contain a lot of vitamins. Eating more eggs, fish and other foods that are rich in protein is also beneficial for body regulation. Regular prenatal check ups, if there are any abnormalities in the body, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.
