Malnutrition during pregnancy - 20 weeks

As you know, during pregnancy in the body of a woman there are numerous changes. Along with them, the volume of amniotic fluid also changes. This fluid, accumulating in the uterine cavity, helps protect the fetus from bumps and excludes its injury. As the period increases, amniotic fluid volume also increases. So, already at the end of pregnancy, in the 3rd trimester, the volume of the amniotic fluid reaches 1-1.5 liters. With a decrease in the amount of amniotic fluid up to 500-700 ml, it is said that there is a lack of hydration, which can develop at the time of 20 weeks.

What are the causes of development of low water?

The causes of the onset of hypochlorism in pregnancy have not yet been studied. However, most often this disorder develops when:

• insufficient development of epithelium covering amniotic fluid, which leads to a decrease in the synthesis of amniotic fluid;
• anomalies of intrauterine development of the fetus (growth development disorder, genetic abnormalities);
• increased blood pressure in pregnant women;
• infectious diseases;
• multiple fertility;
• pregnancy overdelivery .

Thus, in particular, in case of multiple pregnancies, the uneven distribution of blood in the placental membrane occurs.

What can lead to low blood pressure?

The most frequent question asked by women who carry a child with a diagnosis of "malnutrition" concerns what it threatens the baby and whether it is dangerous for pregnancy, while there are no other reasons for concern.

Of course, there are various risks in the development of this violation. In about half of all cases, pregnant women with this disorder have a risk of abortion. According to statistics, in such women, preterm labor occurs 2 times more often than in women with normal pregnancy.

The malignancy, established at pregnancy in 20 weeks, can negatively affect labor activity. So, approximately, in 80 of 100 genera there is a decrease in labor activity - contractions are irregular and short-lived, which requires stimulation.

As for the toddlers, the diagnosis of malnutrition also shows violations. So approximately in 20% of all cases, such children develops a hypotrophy, - deficiency of weight of a body. In addition, it is often observed such a violation as hypoxia, which in turn affects negatively the intrauterine development of the baby.

How is this violation adjusted?

Before treating hypochondriasis with current pregnancy, the doctor determines the causes of this disorder. However, in most cases, this condition requires only observation. So, a woman is examined every week by ultrasound, and dopplerography is performed every 3 days.

If the condition of the fetus is worsened with the diagnosis of "low water retention" in later periods, stimulation of the birth process can be carried out .
