How to prevent and treat excessive amniotic fluid index at 29 weeks of pregnancy

Amniotic fluid is very important for the fetus. It is related to whether the fetus can develop normally and healthily. If the amniotic fluid index is found to be too high at 29 weeks of pregnancy, you should pay attention to observation and pay more attention to fetal movements to prevent abnormal phenomena in the fetus in the abdomen. You should listen more to the doctor's advice. Pregnant women with too much amniotic fluid at 29 weeks of pregnancy may experience adverse reactions such as difficulty breathing. Let’s take a look at how pregnant women in their 29th week of pregnancy can prevent and deal with the problem of excessive amniotic fluid index.

Pregnant women with high amniotic fluid index are prone to complications such as pregnancy-induced hypertension, premature birth, premature rupture of membranes, and abnormal fetal position. Placental abruption and umbilical cord prolapse are likely to occur when membranes rupture. Delivery is prone to be complicated by postpartum hemorrhage.

Treatment of excessive amniotic fluid index:

1. If there is fetal malformation, induce labor immediately.

2. For those suspected of having chorioamnionitis, intravenous antibiotics can be given

3. If the fetus is not yet mature and the symptoms are severe and the pregnant woman cannot tolerate it, amniocentesis can be performed to release the amniotic fluid. Pay attention to the speed and amount of amniotic fluid release to prevent placental abruption and premature birth.

4. After the fetus matures, induced abortion can be performed if the symptoms are severe. During artificial rupture of membranes, high-position rupture is used to allow the amniotic fluid to flow out slowly to avoid placental abruption or umbilical cord prolapse.

5. For those with mild symptoms, the pregnancy can be continued and the changes in amniotic fluid volume should be closely observed.

6. Pay attention to uterine contractions and postpartum bleeding during delivery.

prevention:

1. Get enough rest and eat a low-salt diet.

2. You can take the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg orally 3 times a day, or take Chinese medicine that strengthens the spleen, promotes diuresis, warms the yang and transforms qi.

3. Pay attention to prevent placental abruption and postpartum hemorrhage.

When the amniotic fluid index is too high at 29 weeks of pregnancy, you should be careful not to move around, rest more, and go to the hospital for treatment. You should not take medicine or any folk remedies on your own. Secondly, you should develop good living habits, pay close attention to fetal movements, and seek medical attention immediately if anything is wrong.
