“…Our study finding also reported that having history of chronic illness (2.12 [1.33–4.61]) correlated with a 2.12 fold increase in the odds of abnormal AFV. This finding is supported by studies done in Saudi Arabia and India (Raghuwanshi & Aggarwal, 2017 ; Bakhsh et al., 2021 ). The possible reason for this association could be could be that chronic diseases such as hypertension, asthma or renal disease have direct or indirect physiological effects on feto‐placental perfusion and oxygenation.…”

“…Our study also reported that maternal diabetes mellitus (2.16 [1.32–4.75]) diabetes mellitus correlated with 2.16 fold increased odds of abnormal AFV. Previously published materials also supported this finding (Bakhsh et al., 2021 ; Raghuwanshi & Aggarwal, 2017 ). The possible justification for this association could be due to the hyperglycemia state of the fetus and increased fetal urination.…”

“…Amniotic fluid volume (AFV) does not change significantly from day to day, but generally it increases with the growth of fetus reaching a peak at 34 weeks of gestation (over 800 mL) (Raghuwanshi & Aggarwal, 2017; Hashimoto et al., 1993). The AFV varies with the gestational age from 200 mL at 16 weeks, 1000 mL at 28 weeks, 900 mL at 36 weeks and 800 mL at 40 weeks of gestation term pregnancy (Moore, 2010; Raghuwanshi & Aggarwal, 2017). Despite the difficulty in correlating the two parameters (AFI and AFV), a phenomena with AFI of greater than 24 cm is known as Polyhydramnios (Bakhsh et al., 2021).…”

“…Most of the solid substances within the amniotic fluid are indicators of the fetal well-being and the amniotic fluid helps the fetus by providing temperature stability, cushioning and a necessary presence in collapsed airways to help stimulate lung development (Raghuwanshi & Aggarwal, 2017). Amniotic fluid swallowed by the fetus helps in the formation of the gastrointestinal tract and promotes musculoskeletal development and…”

The amniotic fluid is a protective liquid found in amniotic sac that mainly contains water and some other solid substances like epitheloid and fibroblastic type cells. The Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) is a standardized way to assess the sufficiency of amniotic fluid quantity in pregnancy (Bakhsh et al, 2021;Ray et al, 2017).Most of the solid substances within the amniotic fluid are indicators of the fetal well-being and the amniotic fluid helps the fetus by providing temperature stability, cushioning and a necessary presence in collapsed airways to help stimulate lung development (Raghuwanshi & Aggarwal, 2017).

The amniotic fluid is a protective liquid found in amniotic found in the amniotic sac and mainly containing water and some solid substances including epitheloid and fibroblastic type cells. Most of the studies conducted about amniotic fluid volume (AFV) reported fetal and placental factors as a determinant of AFV. The aim of this study is to examine maternal and obstetric conditions in relation to AFV among women with term pregnancies. A multicenter institutional based cross‐sectional study was conducted among clients attending selected public hospitals of South Gondar Zone, Ethiopia from January 01, 2023 to May 30, 2023. The sample size was calculated by using the assumption of single population proportion formula considering the prevalence value of 50%, 95% confidence interval, and margin of error 5% and 10% non respondent rate. In our study rural residency AOR = 3.21 (1.19–5.37), chronic illness AOR = 2.12 (1.33–4.61), short inter pregnancy interval AOR = 3.03 (2.18–6.28), Hypermesis gravidarum AOR = 1.19 (1.02–4.41), and maternal diabetics AOR = 2.16 (1.32–4.75) had significant association with the outcome variable. These maternal conditions may be correlated with an abnormal volume of amniotic fluid.
