Fetus and newborn affected by polyhydramnios - what does this mean

Polyhydramnios is a condition in which an excessive amount of amniotic fluid surrounds the fetus in the womb. it is caused by a disruption in the balance between the production and absorption of amniotic fluid, which can be caused by a variety of factors, including maternal diabetes, certain fetal abnormalities, and multiple pregnancies. in fetuses and newborns, polyhydramnios can cause prematurity, umbilical cord compression, and difficulty during delivery.

What happens during the disease - fetus and newborn affected by polyhydramnios

Polyhydramnios is a condition in which there is an increased amount of amniotic fluid in the uterus. it is caused by an imbalance between the production and absorption of amniotic fluid, which can lead to an increase in the size of the uterus and pressure on the fetus. this can cause problems with fetal growth and development, as well as an increased risk of preterm labor, stillbirth, and birth defects. it can also lead to an increased risk of umbilical cord compression, cord prolapse, and placental abruption.
