During pregnancy, there are many situations that can cause changes in amniotic fluid, especially turbidity. When amniotic fluid becomes cloudy, it has a significant impact on the baby. So, what is the difference between clear and cloudy amniotic fluid?
Only by maintaining a clear state of amniotic fluid can a baby's healthy development be ensured. Once amniotic fluid becomes cloudy, it not only affects its development, but also poses a danger during childbirth. Clear amniotic fluid usually appears transparent or has a slight yellow color, but cloudy amniotic fluid varies in color depending on the degree of turbidity. In severe cases, yellow green amniotic fluid may even have a hint of blood in it.
However, if the amniotic fluid remains clear throughout the entire pregnancy and only becomes slightly cloudy in the later stages of pregnancy, this is a normal phenomenon because in the later stages of pregnancy, the accumulation of various metabolites and fetal fat in the fetus can cause the amniotic fluid to become cloudy. So usually at this time, it also indicates that the pregnant woman is about to give birth.
Discovering cloudy amniotic fluid can actually be adjusted in a timely manner. In mid pregnancy, if you notice cloudy amniotic fluid, you should first drink plenty of water to dilute it appropriately. Secondly, you can also
Adopt a sleeping position on the left side. But if amniotic fluid turbidity is found in the late stage of pregnancy, it is likely that the pregnancy needs to be terminated in a timely manner and the baby needs to be removed by caesarean section.
