Any abnormal signs of amniotic fluid make pregnant mothers extremely worried, especially polyhydramnios or excess amniotic fluid. So can pregnant mothers with polyhydramnios give birth normally or must they have a cesarean section to avoid affecting the fetus? To answer this question, please refer to information from obstetricians at Vinmec Hospital.

Amniotic fluid is the amount of fluid that surrounds and protects the fetus throughout pregnancy. Pregnant women are diagnosed with polyhydramnios if the amount of amniotic fluid is 2 liters or more. If the amniotic fluid increases to 3 liters, the pregnant woman has severe polyhydramnios and needs to be carefully monitored.
