Answer
Disease Analysis: In the late stages of pregnancy, a shortage of amniotic fluid can be addressed by trying to increase fluid volume through intravenous infusion and drinking water. For pregnant women with a shortage of amniotic fluid who are full-term and not yet in labor, drinking 2000 milliliters of water within two hours and moderate oxygen inhalation may be appropriate. If an assessment finds a risk of fetal infection or poor condition, an immediate induction may be necessary, with proper care provided. Generally, amniotic fluid volume increases with gestational weeks, reaching its peak around the 36th to 38th week, approximately 1000 milliliters, after which it gradually decreases. During the 28th to 40th weeks of pregnancy, if the maximum amniotic fluid depth (AFV) measured by ultrasound is less than or equal to 2 centimeters, it is considered a shortage of amniotic fluid. In terms of daily care, attention should be paid to balanced diet and warmth.
