Pregnant women with polyhydramnios should eat what

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Amniotic fluid volume is primarily determined by whether the fetus has abnormalities. If the fetus has abnormalities or if it is acute polyhydramnios, pregnancy should be terminated after active treatment proves ineffective. For mild or chronic polyhydramnios, a low-sodium diet, sedatives, and diuretics should be administered, and delivery should be awaited until full term.
