When a woman is pregnant, there is not only a fetus in the uterus, but also a lot of amniotic fluid. Pregnant women should pay attention to the condition of amniotic fluid, as abnormal amniotic fluid can easily affect fetal development and even lead to fetal malformations. So, what should I do if the amniotic fluid is a bit mixed in late pregnancy?
If a woman's amniotic fluid is slightly cloudy in late pregnancy, it may be caused by fetal fat mixed in with the amniotic fluid. If only mild turbidity is caused by simple fetal fat, there will not be any major problems. This is a very common situation and usually does not cause harm to the fetus, so no special measures need to be taken.
Late pregnancy meconium can also cause amniotic fluid turbidity, which is likely due to fetal hypoxia. At this point, we need to be vigilant because intrauterine hypoxia poses a great threat to the fetus, and may even cause the baby to suffocate and die. Therefore, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner. Doctors usually administer oxygen to pregnant women, which can supplement oxygen and solve the problem of fetal hypoxia.
Although the fetus has basically developed in the late stage of pregnancy and abnormal amniotic fluid will not cause deformities, if there is severe amniotic fluid turbidity in the late stage of pregnancy, timely measures should be taken regardless of the cause. If necessary, a cesarean section should be performed as early as possible to allow the fetus to be born early, which can effectively prevent the fetus from developing aspiration pneumonia.
