1. What is amniotic fluid?
Amniotic fluid is the liquid environment in which the fetus develops in the mother\’s body. It is mainly composed of fetal urine and maternal blood. The main function of amniotic fluid is to protect the fetus, help the fetus mature, and provide nutrients and oxygen to the fetus.
2. What are the symptoms of low amniotic fluid in the seventh month of pregnancy?
In the seventh month of pregnancy, low amniotic fluid may cause the following symptoms:
1. The abdomen is significantly reduced: due to the reduction of amniotic fluid, the volume of the uterine cavity becomes smaller, resulting in a smaller appearance of the abdomen.
2. Reduced fetal movement: Due to the reduction of amniotic fluid, the fetal movement space becomes smaller, resulting in reduced fetal movement.
3. Intensified uterine contractions: As the amniotic fluid decreases, it will wrap the fetus more tightly, causing intensified uterine contractions.
4. Abnormal fetal position: Due to reduced amniotic fluid, the fetal position may change.
3. What are the effects of low amniotic fluid in the seventh month of pregnancy on the mother and fetus?
1. Impact on the mother: Low amniotic fluid in the seventh month of pregnancy may cause stronger uterine contractions, leading to an increased risk of premature birth. At the same time, reduced amniotic fluid may also lead to complications such as placental dissection and fetal distress.
2. Effects on the fetus: Low amniotic fluid in the seventh month of pregnancy may cause fetal development problems, abnormal heart rate, hypoxia and other problems. If there is too little amniotic fluid, it may also cause fetal malformations.
4. How to deal with low amniotic fluid in the seventh month of pregnancy?
If the amniotic fluid is low in the seventh month of pregnancy, you should seek medical treatment in time and receive treatment according to the doctor\’s advice. Generally speaking, treatment methods include supplementing nutrition, increasing water intake, adjusting body position and other measures. In severe cases, artificial amniotic fluid infusion or caesarean section may also be required.
In short, low amniotic fluid in the seventh month of pregnancy is a relatively dangerous condition and requires timely medical attention and treatment. At the same time, in daily life, expectant mothers should also pay attention to maintaining good living and eating habits to prevent such problems from occurring.
