The amniotic fluid is a little mixed after the due date

The cloudy amniotic fluid can be large or small, and mothers should pay attention to it. Be sure to ask the doctor, I was also having a cloudy amniotic fluid at that time, and I had a caesarean section a week earlier.

In the early stage of pregnancy, the amniotic fluid is colorless, but when the fetus gradually matures, the amniotic fluid will gradually become turbid, which causes this situation generally for two reasons, one is that the fetus is immature, the fetus is relatively large, and generally this situation will not cause risk to the fetus, and the other reason may be some, meconium mixed in the amniotic fluid, which has a relatively large impact on the health of the fetus.

Cloudy amniotic fluid in the third trimester is also due to the same two possibilities:

1. Because the vernix is mixed in the amniotic fluid, it is more common before 39 weeks of pregnancy, this is because the fetus is immature and the fetus is large, so that the fetal fat on the body surface floats in the amniotic fluid, which will not bring danger to the fetus.

2. Because the meconium is mixed in the amniotic fluid, this situation is worrying, because when the amniotic fluid is polluted at 3 degrees, it indicates that there is fetal distress and hypoxia, and the fetus may die in the womb at any time. Moreover, the degree of hypoxia in the fetus is often directly proportional to the degree of amniotic fluid contamination.

Whether it is because of the turbidity of amniotic fluid caused by vernix or meconium, pregnant women cannot be seen by B-ultrasound examination, and it is difficult to distinguish without instruments, so you can do a fetal heart rate monitoring. Therefore, during pregnancy, pregnant women should have regular delivery.

What to do if the amniotic fluid is cloudy near the due date.

Amniotic fluid is usually caused by vernix or meconium mixed with amniotic fluid, and cholestasis is also present. If it is a mild turbidity caused by vernix alone, the problem is not too much, it is a normal situation, and it generally does not cause harm to the fetus. If the amniotic fluid is cloudy due to meconium, this situation indicates that the fetus may have intrauterine hypoxia and needs to rely on oxygen to supplement oxygen.

In the latter case of hypoxia, pregnant women should immediately follow the advice of a professional doctor for examination or oxygen inhalation, and if necessary, the pregnancy may be terminated early, and the delivery should be ended by caesarean section.

During pregnancy, if intra-amniotic infection, hyperseptum, maternal cholestatic syndrome, fetal hypoxia in utero, etc., then there will be significant cloudiness of amniotic fluid in the second trimester. Experts recommend that pregnant women need to go to the hospital for an amniotic fluid puncture sampling test, which can see how cloudy the amniotic fluid is. If the amniotic fluid is indeed cloudy due to the fetus excreting meconium and contaminating the amniotic fluid, this situation is likely to cause the fetus to be hypoxic and asphyxiate in utero.

The consequences of encountering cloudy amniotic fluid in the second trimester can be large or small, and mothers should pay enough attention to it and actively look for **, symptomatic**. At the doctor's suggestion, a fetal heart rate monitor can be performed to see if the fetal heart rate is normal to estimate the fetus's hypoxia in the abdomen. At the same time, it is necessary to take the position of lying on the left side to inhale oxygen, which has the advantage of increasing the blood of the placenta** and alleviating the oxygen supply to the fetus.

Finally, I would like to advise that mothers should go for regular prenatal check-ups.

In the early stages of pregnancy, the amniotic fluid in the pregnant woman's body will not be cloudy, but as the fetus continues to mature, the amniotic fluid will become more and more turbid, such as being contaminated by meconium. So, can I wait for a smooth delivery when the amniotic fluid is cloudy when it is due to the due date?

When it comes to the due date, can I wait for a smooth delivery with cloudy amniotic fluid?

When the fetus is hypoxic in the mother's body, it will be relatively dangerous, and it is relatively dangerous to choose caesarean section to terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible, so as to reduce the harm to the fetal health.

What to look out for after a caesarean section.

1.Protect the wound.

The wound will heal day by day after the caesarean section, the wound may be tender for a short time, it will be painful when coughing or laughing, you can use your hand to support the wound or use a pillow against the stomach to relieve the pain, if there are signs of infection, see a doctor in time.

2.Observe lochia.

Usually also pay attention to the lochia, generally about 6 weeks after giving birth lochia will slowly decrease, the color will slowly change, if the menstrual flow after childbirth from less to increase, you need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.
