Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
It is recommended that you undergo an amniocentesis to check the degree of turbidity in the amniotic fluid. If the amniocentesis results confirm that the amniotic fluid is indeed cloudy, this indicates that the fetus has passed meconium into the amniotic fluid. The most likely cause of this condition is fetal hypoxia and asphyxia in utero. The reasons that generally lead to fetal hypoxia in utero include factors related to insufficient maternal blood supply.
