Too little amniotic fluid i.e Oligohydramnios
Posted in 2014
Oligohydramnios
Low levels of amniotic fluid, referred to as oligohydramnios, occur in 4 percent of all pregnancies and 12 percent of post-date pregnancies.
Oligohydramnios is present when the amniotic fluid index (AFI) seen on ultrasound measures less than 5 cm (a normal index is 5-25cm) and the maximum vertical pocket (MVP) is less than 2 cm.
This may be evident in cases of leaking fluid from a tear in the amniotic membranes, measuring small for a certain stage of pregnancy or if the fetus is not moving as much as it would be expected to.
It may also occur in mothers with a history of any of the following medical conditions:
prior growth-restricted pregnancies
chronic high blood pressure (hypertension)
problems with the placenta, for example, abruption
preeclampsia
diabetes
lupus
multiple pregnancies, for example twins or triplets
birth defects, such as kidney abnormalities
delivering past the due date
other unknown reasons, known as idiopathic
Oligohydramnios can happen during any trimester but is a more concerning problem during the first 6 months of pregnancy. During that time, there is a higher risk of birth defects, loss of pregnancy, preterm birth, or neonatal loss of life.
If fluid levels are low in the last trimester, the risks include:
slow fetal growth
labor complications
the need for a Cesarean delivery
The rest of the pregnancy will be monitored closely to ensure normal development is taking place.
You can avoid Labor complications and cesarean delivery by drinking sufficient water till delivery
My advise
1... From the beginning I am telling that water helps to expand the uterus during pregnancy.
2... Amniotic fluid is developed in side uterus to protect and expand according to the child body.
3... Amniotic fluid consist of 98% water
4... Drink sufficient water before and after conceiving
5... Disorders of amniotic fluid
Some conditions can cause there to be more or less than the normal amounts of amniotic fluid. Oligohydramnios is when there is too little amniotic fluid.
Polyhydramnios, also referred to as hydramnios or amniotic fluid disorder, is when there is too much fluid
6..  Complications of less amniotic fluid
a... Birth defects:::Problems with the development of the kidneys or urinary tract which could cause little urine production, leading to low levels of amniotic fluid.
b.. Placental problems – If the placenta is not providing enough blood and nutrients to the baby, then the baby may stop recycling fluid.
c...Leaking or rupture of membranes –This may be a gush of fluid or a slow constant trickle of fluid. This is due to a tear in the membrane. Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) can also result in low amniotic fluid levels.
d... Post Date Pregnancy– A postdate pregnancy (one that goes over 42 weeks) can have low levels of amniotic fluid, which could be a result of declining placental function.
e..  Maternal Complications– Factors such as maternal dehydration, hypertension, preeclampsia, diabetes, and chronic hypoxia can have an effect on amniotic fluid levels.
f...  Compression of fetal organs resulting in birth defects
g..  Increased chance of miscarriage or stillbirth
7....   Control diabetes, hypertension etc..before you conceive with healthy habits.  Drink sufficient water till delivery
