Oligohydramnios can easily cause fetal hypoxia, so the amniotic fluid content will not vary in different stages of pregnancy, but there will also be a standard number, especially in the late stages of pregnancy where many pregnant women may experience oligohydramnios. So, how much normal amniotic fluid is at 38 weeks? Let's take a look below.
At the 30th week of pregnancy, the amniotic fluid index is generally between 80-180MM. If the amniotic fluid is lower or higher than this value, it is not good. If there is too much amniotic fluid, it may cause fetal malformation. However, if there is too little amniotic fluid, it is also not acceptable, as it can easily cause fetal asphyxia. Therefore, it is best for the amniotic fluid to be within the normal range. If it is not within this value, it is important to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
Whether there is excessive or insufficient amniotic fluid, it should be taken seriously and actively treated in order to keep pregnant women and fetuses away from harm. When there is insufficient amniotic fluid, treatment should be tailored to the situation. If the pregnancy is complicated with fetal malformation, it should be terminated as soon as possible after diagnosis. If the fetus is normal, treatment can be carried out according to the actual physical condition of the pregnant woman. If the cause of polyhydramnios needs to be identified before targeted treatment, it can ensure good treatment results.
Regardless of the situation, as long as there are abnormalities, pregnant women should actively seek treatment to keep them away from danger and ensure the healthy growth of the fetus. Pregnant women should exercise appropriately in their daily lives to have a positive effect on their health.
