When the fetus is in the mother's womb, it is immersed in amniotic fluid, which in a sense represents the living environment of the fetus. The amount of amniotic fluid has a significant impact on the fetus. Many women encounter problems with amniotic fluid after pregnancy, such as amniotic fluid contamination and excess amniotic fluid. So, can I drink milk if I have too much amniotic fluid?
If a woman has excessive amniotic fluid during pregnancy, she can drink milk, which has little effect on her amniotic fluid. Many pregnant women's amniotic fluid problems are caused by pregnancy diabetes. Especially after illness, if the disease is not under control, there may be a problem of excessive amniotic fluid. About 10% of pregnant women with gestational diabetes will have excessive amniotic fluid, usually in the late pregnancy. When women are pregnant with twins or multiple births, it is also easy to cause polyhydramnios.
Some pregnant women may experience excessive amniotic fluid due to fetal abnormalities. This is because some malformed fetuses may have their kidneys continuously producing urine due to illness, leading to an increase in amniotic fluid volume. In addition, polyhydramnios can also be caused by fetal RH blood type incompatibility or infectious erythema, leading to severe anemia. This situation can be improved through intrauterine blood transfusion.
