The amount of amniotic fluid directly affects the health of the fetus, especially when there is too little amniotic fluid. The fetus is very dangerous because it is prone to hypoxia. If the pregnant woman cannot receive oxygen in a timely manner after hypoxia, the fetus will be at risk. There are many reasons for low amniotic fluid, which are related to physical condition and diet. What should pregnant women eat when they have less amniotic fluid at 39 weeks of pregnancy?
If pregnant women have too little amniotic fluid, they can supplement it through diet, such as drinking more warm water, eating more fruits, and drinking more soup. In addition, we need to eat more vegetables and drink more soybean milk. Although not requiring as much nutrition in the later stages of pregnancy, it is still necessary to drink more soup to prevent constipation and replenish amniotic fluid.
If the amniotic fluid keeps decreasing and no matter how much water the pregnant woman drinks, it is not effective to supplement the amniotic fluid with intravenous infusion, and oxygen therapy is also needed to avoid fetal hypoxia. The fetus at 39 weeks is already full-term. If the amniotic fluid is consistently low, it is recommended to use a cesarean section to deliver the fetus first, which can ensure the safety of the baby.
In general, pregnant women should not have too little amniotic fluid at any stage. If it is too little, they need to drink more water and soup to supplement. The use of intravenous infusion can replenish amniotic fluid in a short period of time. When amniotic fluid is too low, be sure not to eat diuretic foods, such as mung beans, red beans, Job's tears, etc.
