Hello doctor! I am 37 weeks pregnant and had an amniotic ultrasound with the largest sinus being 61mm. So can I ask if the largest amniotic cavity is 61mm, is it too much amniotic fluid? How should I eat properly? Hope the doctor can answer, thank you very much!

Hi, the criteria for diagnosing hyperhydramnios is when the amniotic cavity is at its largest >= 70mm, or the AFI index >= 200mm. Because you have not provided the doctor with the AFI value, it is difficult for the doctor to give you specific advice, but the largest amniotic cavity is 61mm, it is not amniotic fluid! If in the case of excess amniotic fluid, you should review whether you have gestational diabetes, your diet should limit the amount of starch, eat less succulent fruits and sugary foods and drinks. If you need more in-depth advice, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for a checkup!
