Oligohydramnios. What kind of food can help replenish amniotic fluid?

Patient's question:

Hello? Today when I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, the person there said to me: "I have low amniotic fluid. I'm six months pregnant now. What should I eat to replenish the amniotic fluid?"

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the treatment for oligohydramnios also requires identifying the underlying cause first. If the amniotic fluid is insufficient and the fetus is found to be normal through examination, and the pregnant woman does not have severe complications, it is possible to increase the amount of amniotic fluid under the guidance of a doctor by drinking water quickly. For pregnant women who are full-term but have not yet gone into labor and are experiencing a lack of amniotic fluid, they can drink 2,000 milliliters (about 4 bowls of water) within 2 hours. If this still does not meet the requirements, the same method can be repeated. This approach is safe, effective, simple, easy to implement, and has no side effects, and can be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
