Effect of maternal hydration on the amniotic fluid volume during maternal rest in the left lateral decubitus position: a randomized prospective study.

Objectives- The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of maternal hydration on amniotic fluid volume during maternal rest in the left lateral decubitus position. Methods- Pregnant women (n = 79) with an amniotic fluid index between 6 and 24 cm and a singleton uncomplicated pregnancy at 35 to 40 weeks' gestation were [...]

CONGENITAL ANOMALIES, LABOR/DELIVERY COMPLICATIONS, MATERNAL RISK FACTORS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH PERFLUOROOCTANOIC ACID (PFOA)-CONTAMINATED PUBLIC DRINKING WATER

BACKGROUND: We have previously examined the associations between perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) exposure, birth weight and gestational age in individuals exposed to PFOA-contaminated residential drinking water from the Little Hocking Water Association (LHWA). In this investigation, we expand the scope of our analysis to examine the associations between PFOA, congenital anomalies, labor and delivery complications and [...]

A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL COMPARING THE EFFECT OF MATERNAL INTRAVENOUS HYDRATION AND PLACEBO ON THE AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX IN OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS

OBJECTIVE: To compare the treatment of acute intravenous hydration with placebo in term pregnant women manifesting oligohydramnios. METHODS: All patients with oligohydramnios who met the inclusion criteria were offered participation in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. After ruling out rupture of membranes and maternal and fetal complications, we recruited 44 women with third trimester singleton [...]

MATERNAL HYDRATION FOR INCREASING AMNIOTIC FLUID VOLUME IN OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS AND NORMAL AMNIOTIC FLUID VOLUME

BACKGROUND: Oligohydramnios (reduced amniotic fluid) may be responsible for malpresentation problems, umbilical cord compression, concentration of meconium in the liquor, and difficult or failed external cephalic version. Simple maternal hydration has been suggested as a way of increasing amniotic fluid volume in order to reduce some of these problems. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this review [...]

OSMOREGULATION, THE SECRETION OF ARGININE VASOPRESSIN AND ITS METABOLISM DURING PREGNANCY

This review stresses changes in osmoregulation as well as the secretion and metabolism of arginine vasopressin during pregnancy, focusing on human gestation. Pregnant women experience a decrease in body tonicity, plasma osmolality decreasing immediately after conception to a nadir approximately 10 mosmol/kg below non-pregnant levels early in pregnancy, after which a new steady state is [...]

SERIAL EVALUATION OF VASOPRESSIN RELEASE AND THIRST IN HUMAN PREGNANCY

Serial studies were designed to characterized changes in osmoregulation throughout gestation. Eight women underwent a 2-h infusion of hypertonic saline before conception, during gestational weeks 5-8, 10-12, and 28-33, and then 10-12 wk postpartum. Basal plasma osmolality (Posmol) was already significantly decreased by 5-8 wk (P less than 0.001) and remained 10 mosmol.kg-1 below nonpregnant [...]

RESTING METABOLIC RATE AND BODY COMPOSITION OF HEALTHY SWEDISH WOMEN DURING PREGNANCY

Body weight, resting metabolic rate (RMR), total body potassium (TBK), and total body water were measured and total body fat (TBF) was calculated in a longitudinal study of 22 pregnant, healthy Swedish women. Measurements were made before pregnancy, at gestational weeks 16-18, 30, and 36, and 5-10 d and 6 mo postpartum. RMR increased more [...]

THE STATEMENT OF POLISH GYNAECOLOGIC SOCIETY EXPERTS CONCERNING DRINKING WATER CONSUMPTION IN WOMEN IN REPRODUCTIVE AGE, PREGNANCY AND BREAST FEEDING

Water is a substance essential for life. It creates the environment of our body, keeps it's homeostasis, enables every biochemical reaction and metabolic processes in human organism. Maternal hydratation is essential for homeostasis of two organisms and drinking water influences the amniotic fluid volume, fetal well-being and removes toxic metabolic products. The chemical contaminants of [...]
