Patient's question:
I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here for consultation. Please ask, does reducing water intake during pregnancy with gestational diabetes mean reducing amniotic fluid?Doctor's answer:
The causes of polyhydramnios may include fetal malformation, multiple pregnancies, gestational diabetes, and so on. It is necessary to dynamically monitor and perform a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound to understand the condition of the fetus in the uterus. If necessary, amniotic fluid cytology should be conducted to determine whether the fetus is normal. It is recommended to drink less water and avoid consuming salty foods.Fetal movement is generally 3 to 5 times per hour, and approximately 30 to 40 times within 12 hours. Under normal circumstances, the strength and frequency of fetal movement change within a day, with fewer movements in the morning and an increase after 6 p.m., with the most active movement between 8 and 11 p.m. The strength and frequency of fetal movement vary greatly among individuals. Some may have up to 100 movements in 12 hours, while others may only have 30 to 40. However, as long as the fetal movement is regular, rhythmic, and the curve of change is not significant, it indicates that the fetus is developing normally, and it has nothing to do with personality.
