Normal range of amniotic fluid depth during pregnancy

A pregnant woman's big belly is an obvious manifestation of pregnancy. In addition to the baby, there is also amniotic fluid in the abdomen, which plays a role in protecting the fetus and providing nutrition for the fetus during pregnancy. The changes in amniotic fluid of pregnant women are also a concern for doctors, and these things will be tested during pregnancy.

Table of amniotic fluid depth during pregnancy

1. I believe that many mothers do not know that in fact, the depth of amniotic fluid is a medical term and is an important indicator to judge the amount of amniotic fluid in pregnant women.

2. If there is more amniotic fluid, the fetus can grow happily; if there is less amniotic fluid, it may cause meconium accumulation during the fetal delivery period, and even premature birth or asphyxiation.

3. Amniotic fluid depth (dvp) is 3-8cm of normal amniotic fluid flow. Before the 28th week of pregnancy (7 months), because the pregnant woman has more amniotic fluid, the fetus is smaller, the fetus has a large range of movement in the uterus, and the fetal position is very easy to change. After 32 weeks of pregnancy (August), the fetus appears to be growing faster and the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman is relatively reduced.

The difference between amniotic fluid depth and amniotic fluid index

1. Amniotic fluid depth and amniotic fluid index are two different definitions. Many mothers are confused about them. Let’s take a look at the difference between amniotic fluid depth and amniotic fluid index.

2. To put it simply, amniotic fluid refers to the fluid in the amniotic cavity of the uterus during pregnancy. Throughout the pregnancy process, it is an essential ingredient to keep the fetus alive. The source of amniotic fluid varies during the different development stages of the fetus.

3. The depth of amniotic fluid is the vertical depth of the amniotic fluid reservoir expressed by B-ultrasound examination. Less than 2cm indicates too little amniotic fluid, and more than 8cm indicates too much amniotic fluid. It is a medical term and a key indicator to determine the amount of amniotic fluid in a pregnant woman. If there is more amniotic fluid, the fetus can grow happily; if there is less amniotic fluid, it can cause meconium accumulation during the fetal delivery period, and even premature birth or asphyxiation. B-ultrasound examination shows the vertical depth of the larger amniotic fluid reservoir, and the amniotic fluid depth of 3-8cm is the normal amniotic fluid flow. If it is less than 3cm, it indicates that there is too little amniotic fluid, and if it is more than 8cm, it indicates that there is too much amniotic fluid.
