Fetal5

• If premature delivery is anticipated with either oligohydramnios or polyhydramnios, the amniotic fluid lamellar body count, lecithin-sphingomyelin (L:S) ratio, and phosphatidylglycerol (PG) concentration are helpful in determining the maturity of the fetal lungs and, therefore, in assessing the likelihood of respiratory distress syndrome.

Pregnancy14

• Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a common complication that typically presents in the second trimester of pregnancy in 10-15% of monochorionic (MC) twins due to net transfer of volume and hormonal substances from 1 twin to the other across vascular anastomoses on the placenta.

Ultrasound5

• If the initial ultrasound shows evidence of polyhydramnios, your health care provider may do a more detailed ultrasound. (ahdubai.com)
• An ultrasound gives a clear window and picture of the amount of fluid and assists with the diagnosis of polyhydramnios if it is present. (huggiesarabia.com)

• Mothers who develop polyhydramnios are closely monitored for complications. (huggiesarabia.com)
• In the majority of cases of polyhydramnios, there are no complications. (huggiesarabia.com)
• There are two main medical complications related with the quantity of amniotic fluid Polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) and oligohydramnios (very less amniotic fluid).They both can be harmful to the foetus and the mother. (babyinfo.com.au)

Twins2

• If there are twins or triplets in the womb , there is a high chance of placenta entanglement, so in such cases, the doctor suggests a cesarean delivery to keep all the babies and the mother safe during the entire process of delivery. (healthlifeline1.com)
• Sometimes the vessel connections within the placenta are not evenly dispensed and there is an imbalance in the blood exchange between the twins. (hopkinsmedicine.org)

Symptoms2

Intrauterine1

• I was immediately referred for a comprehensive scan which revealed intrauterine growth restriction (she was small for her gestation) and there was poor blood flow via the placenta. (patchsa.org)

Abnormal1

• This results in polyhydramnios - an abnormal increase in amniotic fluid. (hopkinsmedicine.org)

Donor1

• The artery to vein anastomosis results in discordant growth as the donor becomes anaemic, oliguric, growth retarded and may die in utero due to exsanguination and the recipient becomes macrososmic, polycythemic, polyuric leading to polyhydramnios, and may die due to circulatory overload. (jpgo.org)

Suggests1

Foetus1

• The placenta is the organ that nourishes and protects the foetus in utero. (parentinghealthybabies.com)

Mothers1

• However, this is not prescribed after 31 weeks of gestation because of potential problems it can cause.It is important for mothers with polyhydramnios to ensure they rest as much as they can. (huggiesarabia.com)
