Oligohydramnios can result in:
a. Excessive fetal urine secretion.
b. Newborn respiratory distress.
c. Central nervous system abnormality.
d. Gastrointestinal blockage.
B
Because an abnormally small amount of amniotic fluid restricts normal lung development, the infant may have inadequate respiratory function after birth, when the placenta no longer performs respiratory function.
Oligohydramnios may be caused by a decrease in urine secretion.
Excessive amniotic fluid production may occur when the fetus has a central nervous system abnormality.
Excessive amniotic fluid production may occur when the gastrointestinal tract prevents nor-mal ingestion of amniotic fluid.
