Can amniotic fluid be observed by weight?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It is estimated that amniotic fluid is generally about four or five pounds. Amniotic fluid is usually not measured by weight but by depth or milliliters. If the amount of amniotic fluid exceeds 2000ml at full term, it is considered polyhydramnios. If it is less than 300ml, it is considered oligohydramnios.
