Patient's question:
I am 25 weeks pregnant and had an ultrasound today with double diameter values of 5.8. The doctor said it was one week smaller than the normal value, and the amniotic fluid was 3.8. Please ask if this affects the fetus and how to adjust.Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, as long as there is no continuous decrease in amniotic fluid, it is not a big problem if the amniotic fluid is slightly low. You can increase your intake of water, soups, and fruits to replenish the amount of amniotic fluid.It is recommended that you closely monitor your baby's fetal movement. Calculate it three times a day, one hour each in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Fetal movement greater than three times per hour is considered normal. If the movement suddenly increases significantly or is less than three times, repeat the count for one hour. If it is still abnormal, you should go to the hospital for medical attention. Currently, you can also undergo oxygen therapy to improve blood oxygen saturation, which also helps prevent fetal hypoxia in the womb.
