What happens if there is too much amniotic fluid?

As for the amniotic fluid of pregnant women, it is the fluid that appears in the uterus during pregnancy. The fetus lives and feeds in the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman, so the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman is very important to the fetus. The amniotic fluid of pregnant women is important to the fetus, and too much amniotic fluid will affect the fetus. So let’s take a look at what will happen to the fetus if there is too much amniotic fluid?

1. The impact of excessive amniotic fluid on the fetus

Generally speaking, when a pregnant woman has a lot of amniotic fluid, the larger the baby, the higher the perinatal mortality rate. In the case of obvious polyhydramnios, clinical medicine has confirmed that the prognosis of newborns in patients is poor. During medical examinations, B-ultrasound can detect fetal deformities, but for apparently normal perinatal infants, parents should also be careful, as some fetal deformities cannot be detected during B-ultrasound examinations. When abnormalities are found in the sex chromosomes of pregnant women, the incidence rate is very high. In the case of excessive amniotic fluid, pregnant women may continue to suffer from premature births and umbilical cord prolapse. There are also complications such as placental abruption, and the probability of occurrence is greatly increased, which also affects the future prognosis of the perinatal baby. The combined diabetes mellitus and neonatal polycythemia that occur during pregnancy are diseases that can cause serious prognoses for the perinatal babies.

2. This is a very serious disease

When there is too much amniotic fluid, the impact on pregnant women is premature abruption of the embryo, uterine atony and postpartum hemorrhage. The extraction of amniotic fluid in many pregnant women will cause the pressure in the uterine cavity to increase, so that the pressure on the fetal side and the maternal side cannot be balanced, which will cause the blood vessels in the fetal side to rupture, which will cause placental abruption. When there is too much amniotic fluid, the uterus is very large, and the uterine muscle cells are overstretched. When the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman suddenly decreases, the smooth muscle cells cannot contract properly, resulting in uterine atony, and the baby is delivered, which causes postpartum hemorrhage.

The above article introduces in detail the effects of excessive amniotic fluid on the fetus. It can be said that in more serious cases, fetal malformations, premature babies, and fetal death may occur. At this time, the patient needs to pay attention to this matter and must go to the hospital for physical examination and treatment immediately, pay attention to physical adjustments, and let the body recover physical and mental health as soon as possible.
