The amount of amniotic fluid is affected both by the timing of pregnancy and the needs of the developing child. For example, in the third trimester of pregnancy the volume of water should be from one thousand to one and a half ml. If the amount of water is less, then, most likely, this is water scarcity to some extent. Rarely, but there is a complete absence of amniotic fluid.
Malnutrition during pregnancy has several degrees of severity, in connection with this, moderate mild water and severe. Moderate is characterized by a slight decrease in the number of amniotic fluid in comparison with the norm. This problem is solved not difficult: you need to establish and diversify your diet, adhere to a sparing regimen and be under constant supervision of a specialist, in order to avoid negative consequences.
With the expressed form of malnutrition, it is necessary to take medications and undergo a course of inpatient treatment. Expressed aridity can lead to very serious consequences: to improper development of the child's limbs, to irregularities in his bony system, to suffocation, as a result of which the central nervous system of the fetus suffers.
The malignancy in most cases does not disturb the pregnant woman in any way, it can quite well feel fine. It happens that a woman has pain in the abdomen, the intensity of which increases with the movement of the fetus. Determine the lack of amniotic fluid can only specialist. In pregnancy, low blood pressure can be determined by the following signs: the height of standing of the bottom of the uterus not corresponding to the norm and the term of pregnancy, insufficient size of the abdomen. However, the final determination of the correctness of the diagnosis can only be done with ultrasound - it will determine the exact volume of amniotic fluid. If the presence of hypochlorism is confirmed, then the severity of the disease and the state of the unborn child are determined. In any case, with the slightest suspicion it is necessary to undergo an examination with a gynecologist.
The reasons for the occurrence of this disease are difficult to say - they are not fully investigated. However, practice confirms the fact that the lack of water is caused by:
- Underdevelopment of the epithelium covering the aqueous membrane or a decrease in the secretory function of the aqueous membrane.
- Inappropriate development of the fetus. For example, this includes abnormal development of the kidneys or hereditary pathologies of the face and kidneys.
- Constant increase in blood pressure during pregnancy. In normal pregnancy, slightly elevated blood pressure - a completely innocuous phenomenon, but if it rises sufficiently strongly, then there may be a risk of malignancy. As a result, the higher the pressure, the heavier the disease and vice versa. Hypertension during pregnancy can lead to delays and a delay in fetal development.
- Not completely cured infections caused by all sorts of bacteria. This reason is revealed when analyzing the microflora of the amniotic fluid and the birth canal.
- Multiple pregnancy. Because the placenta is common to all fetuses, the blood flow can be distributed unevenly. This leads to the fact that much more oxygen and nutrients come to one fetus than to another or another.
- Violation of metabolic processes in the body of a pregnant woman, which can be caused, for example, by obesity.
- Overpowing a child. After the expiration of nine months, for which the functioning of the placenta is calculated, its aging takes place. As a result, the placenta begins to flake off. To solve this problem can be artificial birth, the purpose of which is the decision of doctors.
The presence of this disease has a very negative effect on the course of pregnancy. It is dangerous because it can lead to the termination of pregnancy, because labor is weakened: an insufficient size of a fetal bladder does not have the ability to affect the rapid opening of the cervix. This problem is solved with the help of medications that can stimulate contractions.
The amniotic fluid is the natural environment in which the fetus lives, which means that the low water level has a very negative effect on its development and state. Happens, that pregnancy at a water scarcity is resolved successfully, and on light there are quite healthy children which unique difference in a small deviation from norm or rate in body height and weight. But such an outcome is not universal. Happens, that a lack of water on a fruit negatively affects a fetus. As an example, the following can be cited: the walls of the uterus are quite close to the fetus in case of low water, from which it follows that the child has nowhere to grow normally - there is not enough space. Hence the improper development of the limbs and bone system. The fetus does not gain enough body weight and grows poorly, and its skin is covered with wrinkles and becomes very dry.
Moderate aridity can also lead to pathologies, despite the fact that the lack of nutrients is not so strong. Still, the chance that a child will still be born is much greater. With expressed malnutrition, the consequences for the fetus are usually more serious: choking, impaired brain and nervous system function, developmental lag, lethargy. Children, in the presence of malnutrition during pregnancy, are born more excitable and painful.
