What are the symptoms of polyhydramnios? 1. Acute polyhydramnios: It mostly occurs between 20 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. Due to the sharp increase in amniotic fluid, the uterus rapidly enlarges within a few days, and is similar to the size of a full-term pregnancy or a twin pregnancy. In a short period of time, due to the extreme enlargement of the uterus, the diaphragm rises, and breathing difficulties occur. The pregnant woman cannot lie flat, and even cyanosis occurs. The pregnant woman has a painful expression, excessive abdominal tension causes pain, and her appetite decreases, leading to constipation. The enlarged uterus compresses the inferior vena cava, affecting venous return, causing edema and varicose veins in the lower limbs and vulva. The pregnant woman has difficulty walking and can only lie on her side. 2. Chronic polyhydramnios: It accounts for about 98% and mostly occurs between 28 and 32 weeks of pregnancy. The amniotic fluid can gradually increase within a few weeks. It is a slow growth of moderate amount. Most pregnant women can adapt to it. During prenatal examinations, it is often found that the uterus is high and the abdominal circumference is greater than that of pregnant women of the same period. During physical examinations, pregnant women with polyhydramnios have a swollen abdomen greater than that of the gestational month. The pregnancy chart shows that the uterine height curve exceeds the normal percentile. The skin of the abdominal wall is shiny and thin. When palpated, the skin is tense and there is a sense of liquid tremor. The fetal position is unclear. Sometimes the fetal part can be felt to float and sink. The fetal heart is distant or inaudible. Pregnant women with polyhydramnios are prone to complications of pregnancy-induced hypertension, abnormal fetal position, premature birth, and sudden shrinkage of the uterus after rupture of membranes, which can cause placental abruption. When the membranes are ruptured, the umbilical cord can slip out with the amniotic fluid and cause umbilical cord prolapse. After delivery, the enlarged uterus can easily cause uterine atony, leading to postpartum hemorrhage.
