[16] who examined the effect of colour Doppler on the amniotic fluid index measurements, stated that amniotic fluid index measured by Doppler increases false-positive diagnosis of oligohydramnios and also may underestimate
polyhydramnios. In a recent study by Odibo et al.
Women with GDM were more likely to have adverse pregnancy outcomes including gestational hypertensive disorders and
polyhydramnios [Table 2].
Intrauterine hypotonia causes
polyhydramnios, malpresentation and reduced FMs leading to an increased prevalence of operative delivery.
10.2%; RR 2.86; 95% CI: 1.38-5.01; p = 0.004) and
polyhydramnios (7.1% vs.
No signs of
polyhydramnios, cervical hyperextension, and no other fetal anomalies were detected.
A male infant was born at 37 weeks gestation (BW, 2 kg) by elective CD due to
polyhydramnios. AUS showed AD and DBL.
Also in TTTS, there is a finding of
polyhydramnios in the recipient.
Polyhydramnios was present in 25% of all pregnancies and turned out to be more common in pregnancies with boys (40%) than girls (10%) with EA (p < 0.01).
Polyhydramnios had been detected by ultrasonography at 33 weeks of gestation.
Pregestational diabetes alone was also associated with an increased risk of respiratory distress (OR, 2.7) and
polyhydramnios (OR, 46.5).
