Question
Could a pregnant woman with excessively low amniotic fluid at 24 weeks get gestational diabetes?
Answer
It is essential to first determine the cause and treat the condition of low amniotic fluid by identifying the underlying cause. If the fetus is found to have no abnormalities upon examination, and the pregnant woman does not have severe complications, she can increase the amniotic fluid under the guidance of a doctor by drinking water quickly. For pregnant women who are full-term and not yet in labor but have insufficient amniotic fluid, they can drink 2000 milliliters of water (about 4 bowls) within 2 hours. If this still does not meet the requirements, they can repeat the above method. This method is safe, effective, simple, and easy to perform, with no side effects, and can be done under the guidance of a doctor.
