Pregnant for five months with a cold, does drinking more water affect the amniotic fluid?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

When a pregnant woman drinks too much water, exceeding the body's metabolic needs, the nervous and humoral regulatory system increases renal filtration rate to excrete the excess water. In the late stages of pregnancy, the dynamic balance of amniotic fluid is mainly maintained by fetal swallowing and fetal urination, and the amount of amniotic fluid is not affected by how much water the pregnant woman drinks.
