Hello doctor! I am 37 weeks pregnant and had an amniotic ultrasound and the largest amniotic cavity was 61mm. So I would like to ask if the largest amniotic cavity is 61mm, is it excess amniotic fluid? What should I eat and drink to be suitable? I hope the doctor can answer, I sincerely thank you!

Amniotic fluid plays a vital role in the survival and development of the fetus. The amount of amniotic fluid in each pregnant woman can vary and increase or decrease depending on the time of pregnancy. In the case of too much amniotic fluid in the mother's womb, which is called polyhydramnios, there is a high risk of causing the child to have kidney failure. Therefore, mothers need to understand clearly to have timely prevention and treatment methods.

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.
