Many people believe that during pregnancy, the fetus always lives in amniotic fluid. Therefore, amniotic fluid is an important presence for the fetus. But if there is a problem with the amount of amniotic fluid, it's not very good. So, how much does amniotic fluid weigh in April of pregnancy?
At this point, the fetus is already over 20 centimeters tall, weighs around 300 grams, and has started to grow some hair on its body. However, the fetal head is still relatively small and the body proportions are relatively symmetrical. At this point, the combined weight of the fetus and amniotic fluid should be around six pounds.
At four months of pregnancy, pregnant women can also use ultrasound to check the depth of amniotic fluid. In general, amniotic fluid larger than 2cm and smaller than 8cm is just right. Otherwise, it indicates that the amniotic fluid is not very normal. If there is too much amniotic fluid, pregnant women are prone to high blood pressure, abnormal fetal position, and increased premature birth rate; And oligohydramnios can also lead to an increase in fetal mortality.
So the measurement of amniotic fluid also plays a certain role in prenatal examinations and is an important indicator for evaluating whether pregnancy is normal. When pregnant women experience oligohydramnios, they should regularly replenish water or drink more soup, while also paying attention to supplementing various nutrients. Pregnant women with polyhydramnios should pay attention to rest and avoid eating too much salt. If it is late pregnancy, then polyhydramnios can be ignored.
