What to do if pregnant women sweat and have less amniotic fluid

Of course, pregnant women all hope that their entire pregnancy process will go smoothly, and they can welcome their healthy baby when the due date arrives. But sometimes things are not as smooth as imagined. Some pregnant women may have low amniotic fluid during pregnancy. For example, some pregnant women have too little amniotic fluid due to sweating. So, what should pregnant women do if sweating affects low amniotic fluid? Let’s find out together.

If oligohydramnios is found during pregnancy and there is a clear concomitant fetal malformation, the pregnancy needs to be terminated immediately.

If oligohydramnios is diagnosed during pregnancy and there is no fetal malformation and the fetus is mature, termination of pregnancy can be considered, and cesarean section can be considered as the method of termination of pregnancy;

Amnioinfusion: The reduction in amniotic fluid volume is the main reason why oligohydramnios has adverse effects on mother and fetus during pregnancy and delivery. Increasing the amount of amniotic fluid through amnioinfusion is a targeted treatment measure.

1. Indications:

Increase the visualization of fetal internal organs: When there is too little amniotic fluid, the fetus is close to the uterine wall and placenta, and the internal organ structure is not clearly displayed, making it difficult to determine whether there are fetal malformations. Amnioinfusion can increase the acoustic window and improve the diagnosis rate of fetal malformations;

Diagnosis of atypical premature rupture of membranes: For difficult-to-diagnose premature rupture of membranes, amnioinfusion is performed through the abdominal wall. If vaginal discharge is present, premature rupture of membranes can be diagnosed.

Reduce fetal pressure, fetal growth and movement restrictions during pregnancy;

Reduce umbilical cord compression during labor and reduce uncoordinated uterine contractions;

2. Types : Amnioinfusion is divided into two types according to the infusion route: transabdominal and transvaginal. The former is usually performed without rupture of membranes, while the latter is usually performed after rupture of membranes.

3. Notes:

The perfusion fluid is usually warmed before perfusion with normal saline;

The usual infusion rate is about 180 ml/h, with a maximum of 800 ml at a time;

The perfusion power is gravity, and the use of push injection and infusion pumps should be avoided;

Antibiotics, drugs to promote fetal lung maturation, and amino acid nutrients can be added to the perfusion fluid;

Pay attention to monitoring the changes in uterine contractions and fetal heart rate;

Perfusion can be performed continuously or multiple times, and attention should be paid to preventing infection.
