In the first trimester, the lack of amniotic fluid does not have a detrimental effect on the fetus. Usually, pathology is detected during routine ultrasound diagnostics and measures are taken immediately. The cause of the deficiency of amniotic fluid may be the pathology of the membranes. However, this can be corrected with timely treatment.
Starting from the 26th week, amniotic fluid deficiency becomes dangerous for the development of the baby. At this time, it is impossible to carry out artificial birth, since the child will not survive, and the lack of nutrition through the placenta stops the development of the fetus and turns off all vital functions.
Amniotic fluid deficiency in the second trimester can lead to:
• premature birth;
• difficult childbirth at term;
• malformation of the fetus.
This is a very dangerous condition that you need to know about in advance. Regular visits to an obstetrician-gynecologist exclude the development of such a terrible pathology.
