At 24 weeks of pregnancy, it is actually mid pregnancy, and at this time, amniotic fluid depth is an important indicator. Therefore, many pregnant women are worried that their amniotic fluid depth may not be normal, as amniotic fluid is so important to the fetus and can directly affect its health. What is the normal range of amniotic fluid dark area in millimeters at 24 weeks of pregnancy?
Normally, at 24 weeks, the normal range of amniotic fluid is around 9-23 centimeters. If the AFI value is greater than 24cm, it is usually due to polyhydramnios; If it is between 18 and 24cm, it is suspected that there is excess amniotic fluid. In fact, amniotic fluid can not only protect the fetus from external impact, but also reduce discomfort caused by fetal movement in the mother.
The fetus lives in the amniotic fluid in the pregnant woman's body and uses it as a space for movement. In the early and middle stages of pregnancy, the fetus has not fully developed and matured, so the space for movement will also be relatively large. As the fetus gradually develops and matures, the space for movement of the fetus will also decrease in the late stages of pregnancy. This also shows that amniotic fluid is very important, so the relevant indices of amniotic fluid will be constantly checked during prenatal examination.
Generally speaking, the amniotic fluid index is checked during each prenatal examination. If there is too much or too little, the doctor will inform the pregnant woman and adjust it in a timely manner. Therefore, if there are any issues in this regard, there is no need to worry too much.
