Checking the amniotic fluid index during pregnancy is a particularly important prenatal examination indicator for pregnant women, as abnormal amniotic fluid volume indicates health problems during pregnancy. Therefore, during prenatal examination, if a woman is 8 months pregnant, is the amniotic fluid 8.3 normal?
Testing amniotic fluid index and volume during pregnancy is an important prenatal examination for women. If the amount of amniotic fluid during pregnancy exceeds 2000ml, it is diagnosed as polyhydramnios. If the amount of amniotic fluid in late pregnancy is less than 300ml, it can be diagnosed as oligohydramnios. The monitoring of amniotic fluid volume during pregnancy is mostly measured using the amniotic fluid index method.
When measuring, the umbilical region of the pregnant woman will be taken as the endpoint, and then the abdomen will be divided into four quadrants. The amniotic fluid index is obtained by measuring the data of the four quadrants under ultrasound.
If the diagnosed amniotic fluid index is greater than or equal to 25cm, it can be considered as polyhydramnios, and if the amniotic fluid index is less than or equal to 5cm, it can be judged as oligohydramnios. It can be seen that if the amniotic fluid index checked at 8 months of pregnancy is 8.3cm, within this reference range, it belongs to the normal amniotic fluid index detection value.
In addition, regardless of whether the test results show excessive or insufficient amniotic fluid during pregnancy, it is necessary to follow the doctor's guidance and advice for adjustment. If necessary, treatment is necessary to avoid affecting the health of oneself and the fetus.
