Introduction Reproduction Pregnancy During Pregnancy ... Glossary A-Z During Pregnancy Pre-existing Conditions During Pregnancy Prematurity Problems Pregnancy Procedures Amniotic Fluid Problems There are four categories of amniotic fluid: Oligohydramnios . Too little amniotic fluid. Pockets seen greater than 1 cm in diameter (normal). Adequate fluid, seen everywhere between the foetus and uterine wall (normal). Polyhydramnios . Too much amniotic fluid. Measurement is commonly taken by using an ultrasound to determine the Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI). Oligohydramnios When a woman is said to have too little amniotic fluid she has oligohydramnios. This is defined as having less than 200 ml of amniotic fluid at term or an AFI of less than 5 cm. This means that during an ultrasound the largest pocket of fluid found did not measure 1 cm or greater at its largest diameter. It is clinically very hard to prove prior to delivery. After the birth, examining the placenta for the presence of amnion nodosum on the placenta is highly correlated with oligohydramnios. Depending on when the woman is diagnosed with oligohydramnios, there are different complications to look for, although the majority of women diagnosed will not have problems.

Encyclopedia Index P Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index P Polyhydramnios and oligohydramnios Definition Polyhydramnios is a high level and oligohydramnios is low level of amniotic fluid. Description Amniotic fluid is the liquid that surrounds the developing fetus during pregnancy Causes and symptoms Polyhydramnios, also referred to as hydramnios, can have any one of a number of causes related either to an underlying maternal or fetal condition. Maternal diabetes, which is associated with a macrosomic (enlarged) fetus, is a common cause. The medication lithium, used to treat depression, can also increase amniotic fluid levels. Twin gestations are prone to polyhydramnios. Infections passed from mother to fetus such as rubella , cytomegalovirus, and toxoplasmosis , can also result in damage to the fetus and elevated amniotic fluid levels. Fetal abnormalities, including many that are life-threatening or lead to a significant impairment in the quality of life, are found in up to a quarter of all patients. For this reason, the initial finding of excess amniotic fluid should be followed by thorough diagnostic studies to determine the cause and the prognosis. Because fetal swallowing is a major factor in amniotic fluid removal, fetal abnormalities that prevent fluid uptake should be investigated. These include gastrointestinal obstructions such as

This watery fluid is inside a casing called the amniotic membrane (or sac) and fluid surrounds the fetus throughout pregnancy. Normal amounts may vary, but, generally, women carry about 500 ml of amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid helps protect and cushion the fetus and plays an important role in the development of many of the fetal organs including the lungs, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. Fluid is produced by the fetal lungs and kidneys. It is taken up with fetal swallowing and sent across the placenta to the mother's circulation. Amniotic fluid problems occur in about 7 percent of pregnancies. Too much or too little amniotic fluid is associated with abnormalities in development and pregnancy complications. Differences in the amount of fluid may be the cause or the result of the problem.

Alternative Names: Oligohydramnios Information: The fetus floats in the amniotic fluid. During pregnancy the amniotic fluid increases in volume as the fetus grows. Amniotic fluid volume is greatest at approximately 34 weeks of gestation, when it averages 800 ml. Approximately 600 ml of amniotic fluid surrounds the baby at full term (40 weeks gestation ). This fluid is constantly circulated by the baby swallowing and "inhaling" existing fluid and replacing it through "exhalation" and urination. Amniotic fluid accomplishes numerous functions for the fetus, including: Protects from outside injury by cushioning sudden blows or movements Allows for freedom of fetal movement and permits symmetrical musculoskeletal development Maintains a relatively constant temperature for the environment surrounding the fetus, thus protecting the fetus from heat loss
