The standard for judging amniotic fluid is based on the indicators of B-ultrasound. Amniotic fluid index is one of the indicators, and another indicator is amniotic fluid depth. Nowadays, amniotic fluid index is commonly used because measuring amniotic fluid is more accurate. So what does low normal amniotic fluid mean?
Normal low value of amniotic fluid refers to a low normal value of amniotic fluid, indicating insufficient amniotic fluid and requiring pregnant women to pay certain attention. The normal value of amniotic fluid index is 8-18cm, and an amniotic fluid index less than 5cm indicates oligohydramnios; An amniotic fluid index greater than 25cm indicates polyhydramnios. If the normal value of amniotic fluid is too low, it may cause other manifestations such as intrauterine hypoxia and asphyxia in the baby.
Pregnant women should pay attention to changes in fetal movement. If fetal movement is too frequent or not, they should seek medical attention promptly. It is recommended to regularly visit the hospital for fetal heart monitoring, and if necessary, undergo B-ultrasound examination and follow-up B-ultrasound to check if the amniotic fluid is normal. Most pregnant women in the late stage of pregnancy have insufficient amniotic fluid and should drink more plain water or soup. If there is lower back pain, regular abdominal pain, or redness and tear, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner, which is a sign of childbirth.
Pregnant women should undergo regular prenatal check ups, pay attention to local hygiene, and prevent infection. Eat more green vegetables and fresh fruits, rest appropriately, ensure sufficient sleep, and also arrange appropriate exercise to meet nutritional needs.
