Amniotic fluid is the environment that the fetus relies on for survival in the mother's body. As the name suggests, amniotic fluid is very important for both the fetus and the mother. Each substance has its own normal value, which means that more or less of it can affect the body. So, what are the effects of excessive amniotic fluid in late pregnancy on the fetus?
It depends on how much amniotic fluid exceeds the standard. The normal depth of amniotic fluid is 8-18cm. If it exceeds 24cm, further examination is recommended. Having more amniotic fluid is one of the manifestations of fetal malformation. When there is excessive amniotic fluid during pregnancy, the fetus has greater mobility in the uterine cavity, which can easily lead to incorrect fetal position.
Many parents are very worried when they hear about the possibility of fetal malformation, but the possibility of fetal malformation caused by excessive amniotic fluid mentioned here is relatively small because many pregnant women pay great attention to prenatal examinations. Therefore, as long as abnormal amniotic fluid is detected in a timely manner, intervention can be carried out without worrying too much.
In addition, if you find too much amniotic fluid, you should drink less water, and drink less soybean milk and various soups, and eat more diuretic food at ordinary times, which can help reduce amniotic fluid. And in terms of diet, it is recommended to have a low salt diet, pay attention to rest, and avoid fatigue. Whether polyhydramnios will affect fetal growth requires relevant examinations at the hospital to determine, and then corresponding measures should be taken based on the examination results.
