A. Yes, there are medications and natural ways to increase amniotic fluid during pregnancy. However, treatment depends on the cause and severity of low amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios). 1. Medications & Medical Interventions: IV Fluids & Electrolytes: If dehydration is a cause, doctors may recommend IV fluids. Amino Acids & Hydration Therapy: Some cases require hospitalization for fluid management. Oral Hydration Therapy: Doctors may recommend ORS or electrolyte-rich fluids. Amnioinfusion (During Labor): If needed, doctors can introduce fluid into the amniotic sac via a catheter. 2. Natural Ways to Increase Amniotic Fluid: Drink plenty of water (at least 3 liters per day). Coconut water, buttermilk, and fresh juices help maintain fluid levels. Protein-rich diet (eggs, paneer, lentils, fish, nuts) supports fluid balance. Fruits & Vegetables with high water content (cucumber, watermelon, orange, spinach). Adequate rest & left-side sleeping improves blood flow to the placenta. 3. When to See a Doctor? If fluid levels are too low (confirmed by ultrasound), your doctor may suggest medication or hospitalization for monitoring. Let me know if you have any other concerns!
