After pregnancy, expectant mothers should actively learn about various knowledge related to pregnancy, which can prevent the occurrence of symptoms that cannot be judged as normal physiological phenomena. Especially, more knowledge about amniotic fluid should be learned, because amniotic fluid is closely related to the healthy growth of the fetus. Recently, a pregnant mother found that amniotic fluid level 2 was detected during examination, and she wanted to know what it means?
Amniotic fluid contamination is generally caused by the fetus excreting meconium, or it may be caused by bacterial ascending infection. Therefore, in medicine, amniotic fluid contamination is classified into three levels based on the level of environmental pollution in the amniotic fluid: first level, second level, and third level. Doctors can understand the risk of fetal hypoxia through the level of amniotic fluid contamination. First level amniotic fluid contamination is the lightest, and the amniotic fluid appears light green, which will not have a special impact on the fetus.
The level of secondary contamination of amniotic fluid is moderate, and the color of amniotic fluid is dark green or light green, indicating that the fetus may experience hypoxia or cerebral palsy. Additionally, due to the fetus's breathing movements, certain substances in the amniotic fluid may be inhaled, leading to acute pneumonia and other possible conditions. Therefore, it is recommended that expectant mothers closely monitor and monitor the condition of the fetus in the uterus so that doctors can take timely measures to control and improve the situation.
The third level contamination of amniotic fluid is quite severe. The color of the amniotic fluid has already turned yellow brown, and it has become thick and turbid. Once the amniotic fluid reaches the third level, it indicates that the fetus in the uterus has been deprived of oxygen, and the oxygen deficiency is severe. If the pregnant mother is pregnant at full term or the fetus can survive outside the uterus, it is recommended to terminate the pregnancy. If vaginal delivery is not possible in the short term, cesarean section should be used for delivery.
