Amniotic fluid is excessive, the baby is larger than normal.

Patient's question:

Polyhydramnios, the baby is larger than normal, otherwise everything is normal, second-level ultrasound examination at Yuannan Hospital in the sixth month.

Doctor's answer:

Polyhydramnios
During normal pregnancy, the volume of amniotic fluid increases with gestational age and gradually decreases starting from the last 2-4 weeks. At full term, the amount of amniotic fluid is approximately 1000 milliliters. If the volume of amniotic fluid exceeds 2000 milliliters during the later stages of pregnancy, it is referred to as polyhydramnios. Based on the timing of onset and the rate of amniotic fluid increase, it is classified as either acute or chronic. Acute polyhydramnios typically occurs between weeks 16-24 and is abrupt in onset, while chronic polyhydramnios develops gradually over several weeks during the later stages of pregnancy.
The management of polyhydramnios primarily depends on whether the fetus has abnormalities and the severity of maternal compression symptoms. If compression symptoms are severe or the fetus has abnormalities, pregnancy should be terminated immediately, followed by artificial rupture of membranes and induction of labor. If the fetus is normal and symptoms are mild, with no significant maternal discomfort, a low-sodium diet may be recommended, and sedatives can be used as needed. Close monitoring of changes in amniotic fluid volume should be maintained until full-term delivery.
