How many days does it take to replenish amniotic fluid?

The amniotic fluid in the pregnant mother's uterus warmly surrounds the fetus, which is of great significance to the healthy development of the fetus. However, some pregnant women may find that they have less amniotic fluid during checkups, which requires immediate replenishment of the amniotic fluid. How many days does it usually take for a pregnant woman to replenish her amniotic fluid? When a pregnant woman goes for a check-up and is found to have too little amniotic fluid, the doctor will generally recommend that she drink more water on a daily basis, and drink more liquid foods such as milk and soy milk, which can improve the body's blood circulation and promote the replenishment of amniotic fluid.

However, it does not mean that the amniotic fluid of a pregnant woman can be replenished in three days. It also depends on the specific situation of the pregnant woman. Some pregnant women may be able to quickly digest and absorb red bean syrup and other foods to replenish the amniotic fluid within two or three days. However, some women may have poor digestion and absorption, so the time to replenish amniotic fluid will be relatively longer. There are also some very small number of pregnant women and supplementation of amniotic fluid for pregnant women, and no obvious effect appears, but this is also a relatively common situation, so there is also a need for timely review and examination, and relevant treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

Pregnant women who need to replenish the amniotic fluid should drink more nutritious foods such as fruit juice, yogurt, milk, soy milk, etc. in their daily lives. In addition, glycogen foods are also indispensable in the three meals a day, and the amount of water drunk every day should be increased. Generally, to replenish the amniotic fluid of pregnant women, they should drink liquid foods such as soup or healthy drinks once within two hours, which can have a good effect on replenishing the amniotic fluid for the body.

How to judge the four values ​​of amniotic fluid index

The amniotic fluid index refers to dividing the oblique angle of the uterus into four quadrants marked by the umbilical straight line and the linea alba, and accurately measuring the vertical diameter line of the largest amniotic reservoir at each position. The sum of the four is the amniotic fluid index. The standard value range is: 8-18cm.

Oligohydramnios refers to a condition in which the amniotic fluid flow is less than 300 ml during full-term pregnancy. Because of too little amniotic fluid, the fetus's activities are restricted, which may cause transverse fetal position, fetal lung hypoplasia, fetal malformations, and even physical contractions, and the incidence of fetal distress and neonatal asphyxia will also increase.

Polyhydramnios refers to the condition which generally increases gradually with the number of weeks of pregnancy. If the amniotic fluid flow exceeds 2000mL at any stage of pregnancy, it is called polyhydramnios. Pregnant women with excessive amniotic fluid are prone to complications such as pregnancy-induced hypertension, premature birth, placental abruption, and abnormal fetal position. When the membranes rupture, placental abruption and umbilical cord prolapse are likely to occur, and postpartum hemorrhage is likely to occur during childbirth.

If you find that there is too little amniotic fluid, find out the cause first. If there is too little amniotic fluid, the fetus is not deformed after examination, and the pregnant woman has no serious complications, the amniotic fluid flow can be increased by drinking water quickly under the guidance of a doctor. If the fetus is found to be deformed, the pregnancy should be terminated immediately.

If excessive amniotic fluid is found, but the fetus is healthy and the symptoms are so severe that the pregnant woman cannot bear it, she can consider draining the amniotic fluid by puncture, draining the amniotic fluid at a rate of 500ml/hour, but the rate should not exceed 1500ml/hour, because draining excessive amniotic fluid may cause premature birth. The actual procedure should be based on your own situation. If the fetus is found to be deformed, the pregnancy should be terminated immediately. In general, the amniotic fluid index is used to detect whether the growth environment of the fetus is normal, such as if too much amniotic fluid is found. Or if it is too little, you should be careful because there is a higher possibility that the fetus may have deformities.
