Complications from low amniotic fluid levels (oligohydramnios).If detected early, in the first half of pregnancy, these problems can be more severe: Having too little or too much amniotic fluid can cause pregnancy complications. If detected early, in the first half of pregnancy, these problems can be more severe. On the other hand, around 1 percent of pregnant women have polyhydramnios, or excessive amniotic fluid. But about 8 percent have less than that, and about 4 percent of them are diagnosed with oligohydramnios, or low amniotic fluid levels.
Most pregnant women have about half a quart to a quart of amniotic fluid. Ultrasound is the best available method, but it is often inaccurate and under or over estimates the volume of fluid. This can be problematic, as ultrasound uses a one or two dimensional measurement to estimate a volume, which is three dimensions. She swallows and breathes in amniotic fluid and recycles it through urine output.Īmniotic fluid is measured by an ultrasound assessment. This liquid protects and cushions your baby and plays a role in developing her lungs, muscles, and digestion.
Amniotic fluid is an essential part of your developing baby’s life support system in the uterus.
