What reason is amniotic fluid decrease in the third trimester of pregnancy

summary

Amniotic fluid can maintain a certain temperature of the fetus and the surrounding environment; buffer the external pressure of the abdomen, so that it does not directly affect the fetus, protect the placenta and umbilical cord, ease the mother's feeling for fetal movement; enable the fetus to move freely in the uterus, and amniotic fluid forms a water sac, which can buffer the pressure when the pregnant woman gives birth to the uterine contraction, so that the pressure does not directly affect the fetus, especially in the outcrop Because amniotic fluid is very important to the fetus, we should pay attention to amniotic fluid in time and pay attention to it when it is too little. So what's the reason for the decrease of amniotic fluid in the third trimester.

What reason is amniotic fluid decrease in the third trimester of pregnancy

Reason 1: the treatment of oligohydramnios should first find out the cause of the disease. If the amniotic fluid is too little, the fetus has no deformity after examination, and the pregnant woman has no serious concurrent disease, the amount of amniotic fluid can be increased through rapid drinking under the guidance of the doctor. All full-term pregnant women who are not in labor and lack of amniotic fluid can drink 2000 ml (about 4 bowls of water) within 2 hours. If they still can't meet the requirements, they can repeat the above method.

Reason 2: if oligohydramnios occurs in early pregnancy, fetal membrane and fetal body adhesion, it will cause serious fetal deformity, and even limb shortage. In the second and third trimester of pregnancy, oligohydramnios and uterine pressure directly affect the fetus, which can cause torticollis, crooked back and hand foot deformity. Oligohydramnios limits fetal growth and development, which is not conducive to eugenics. Due to timely treatment, follow the doctor's advice.

Reason 3: in late pregnancy, due to oligohydramnios, fetal distress and neonatal asphyxia will occur. Moreover, the less amniotic fluid, the higher the incidence of fetal distress, neonatal asphyxia and perinatal mortality. Therefore, if oligohydramnios is found at term, cesarean section should be used to terminate pregnancy.

matters needing attention

It is abnormal to have too much or too little amniotic fluid during pregnancy. We must not ignore it without any symptoms. Due to timely treatment, pregnant women should supplement more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and ensure adequate water intake during pregnancy.
