What is the normal amount of amniotic fluid at 33 weeks of pregnancy?

Do you know how the fetus absorbs nutrients in the mother's womb? The fetus lives in the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman all the time, and the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman also contains a lot of trace elements. Since the second trimester of pregnancy, every prenatal checkup is to check the depth of the amniotic fluid, which is related to the life of the fetus. Next, let’s look at the standard value of amniotic fluid depth at 33 weeks of pregnancy.

What is the standard value of amniotic fluid in 33 weeks of pregnancy?

In the late pregnancy, the depth of amniotic fluid is between 3-7 cm, which is normal. If it exceeds 7 cm, it means that the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman has increased. The amniotic fluid index of 8-20cm is a normal amniotic fluid flow. When the amniotic fluid index is lower than 5cm, it means there is too little amniotic fluid and the pregnancy should be terminated as soon as possible. Oligohydramnios in late pregnancy is mostly caused by reduced placental function. Abnormal development of the urogenital system can also cause oligohydramnios, but it is very rare and can sometimes be detected by B-ultrasound examination. In the late pregnancy, the umbilical cord of the fetus around the neck generally cannot be turned around, and a cesarean section must be performed under the doctor's advice.

At the end of pregnancy, the amniotic fluid of pregnant women reaches 1000ml. In the last 2 to 4 weeks of pregnancy, the amount begins to decrease, and can drop to 550 in late pregnancy. If the amount exceeds 2000 during pregnancy, it is called polyhydramnios, and if it is less than 300 in the late pregnancy, it is called oligohydramnios. In the late pregnancy, the depth of amniotic fluid is between 3-7 cm, which is normal. If it exceeds 7 cm, it means that the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman has increased. The amniotic fluid index of 8-20cm is a normal amniotic fluid flow. When the amniotic fluid index is lower than 5cm, it means there is too little amniotic fluid and the pregnancy should be terminated as soon as possible. Oligohydramnios in late pregnancy is mostly caused by reduced placental function. Abnormal development of the urogenital system can also cause oligohydramnios, but it is very rare and can sometimes be detected by B-ultrasound examination. In the late pregnancy, the umbilical cord of the fetus around the neck generally cannot be turned around, and a cesarean section must be performed under the doctor's advice.

The above is a detailed introduction to the standard value of amniotic fluid depth at 33 weeks of pregnancy. In short, the amniotic fluid of pregnant women is an essential basic condition for the fetus in the pregnant mother, so women will check the amniotic fluid index during pregnancy, because for pregnant women, only when the amniotic fluid index reaches the standard can it provide guarantee for the growth and development of the fetus.
