Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 My friend emailed this article to me. Seems medically inaccurate to me because Christian was diagnosed at my 18 week u/s and no-one mentioned any problems with my fluid at that point but I did develop oligohydramnios during my pregnancy and delivered a month early because of it. In the rare event that your level of amniotic fluid remains very low for much of the second trimester, your baby's lungs may not be able to develop properly (this is called pulmonary hypoplasia) and he may not be able to live outside the uterus. Severe oligohydramnios can also lead to limited range of motion in the arms and legs or deformities (such as clubfoot) caused by not having enough space to move around in the womb.
