What to do if the placenta is aging and the amniotic fluid is low

  The growth environment of a fetus cannot be separated from the amniotic fluid in the mother's body. Moreover, the nutrients and substances required for the growth and development of the fetus are supplied by the placenta in the mother's body. So, amniotic fluid and placenta can directly affect the safety of the fetus and baby. So, what should we do if the placenta ages and there is less amniotic fluid?

  

What to do if the placenta is aging and the amniotic fluid is low1

  If the pregnant mother's placenta ages and the amount of amniotic fluid is relatively low, it is very dangerous for the fetus. At this time, it is best to do a fetal heart rate monitoring to check if the baby is experiencing hypoxia. Therefore, expectant mothers need to replenish their water intake as much as possible to prevent the current amniotic fluid from decreasing.

  If the pregnant mother experiences the above conditions, it is highly likely to cause hypoxia in the fetus. Therefore, in the face of this situation, expectant mothers need to undergo a detailed and thorough examination and receive adjuvant treatment. If the fetus is already full-term, the doctor will advise the pregnant mother to undergo membrane rupture induced abortion as soon as possible; If after artificial membrane rupture, it is found that the amniotic fluid of the pregnant mother is relatively small and viscous, and the amniotic fluid is contaminated to varying degrees, the fetus may also experience distress. It is preliminarily estimated that the pregnant mother's condition cannot end the delivery as soon as possible in a short period of time. Therefore, doctors will arrange for the pregnant mother to undergo a cesarean section as soon as possible after ruling out the possibility of fetal abnormalities.

  In order to prevent fetal hypoxia in the uterus, pregnant mothers should not only drink more water, but also eat more foods with soup, which can help increase amniotic fluid. However, if placental aging occurs, it is best for pregnant mothers to be hospitalized for observation to prevent the possibility of premature birth.
