Amniotic fluid plays a vital role in supporting fetal growth and development throughout pregnancy, providing protection, allowing movement, and supporting lung development 💧🤰
Abnormal amniotic fluid levels, including oligohydramnios, anhydramnios, and polyhydramnios, may be associated with complications affecting maternal and fetal wellbeing. Early recognition and appropriate monitoring are essential for identifying potential risks and supporting a healthy pregnancy.
Midwives play an important role in monitoring amniotic fluid levels, recognising potential complications, educating expectant mothers, and promoting informed, evidence-based antenatal care 🩺💙
