Why is hydramnios a concern?
Too much amniotic fluid can cause the mother's uterus to become overdistended and may lead to preterm labor or premature rupture of membranes (the amniotic sac).
Polyhydramnios can occur if the fetus does not swallow and absorb amniotic fluid in normal amounts. This can happen due to gastrointestinal disorders, brain and nervous system (neurological) problems, or a variety of other causes.
Polyhydramnios is the presence of excessive amniotic fluid surrounding the unborn infant.

Polyhydramnios
Polyhydramnios is an excess of amniotic fluid in the amniotic sac. The amniotic sac (or amnios) is the membranous sac surrounding the developing baby within the uterus (womb).

Amniotic fluid
Amniotic fluid is a clear, slightly yellowish liquid that surrounds the unborn baby (fetus) during pregnancy. It is contained in the amniotic sac.

BWS syndrome will frequently present prenatally with fetal macrosomia, enlarged placentas, and often more than usual amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios) that may lead to premature delivery (a baby being born more than three weeks before its due date).
If there is only a small amount of fluid in the uterus (womb) this is called oligohydramnios. This can increase the risk of developing DDH because the baby is not able to move about within the uterus as much.

The amniotic fluid level is an important variable in the BPP because a low volume (called oligohydramnios) may increase the risk of umbilical cord compression and may be a sign of changes in the blood flow between the baby and mother.

The pregnancy sometimes is complicated by polyhydramnios. In most cases, the condition is obvious during the newborn period when the newborn appears floppy and has respiratory insufficiency.
It estimates the amount of amniotic fluid in the fetal sac to make sure there isn't too much (a condition called polyhydramnios) or too little (a condition called oligohydramnios).

An excessive amount of amniotic fluid is called polyhydramnios. This condition can occur with multiple pregnancy (twins or triplets), congenital anomalies (problems that exist when the baby is born), or gestational diabetes.

Commonly reported fetal abnormalities include hypotension, renal dysplasia, anuria/oliguria, oligohydramnios, intrauterine growth retardation, pulmonary hypoplasia, patent ductus arteriosus, and incomplete ossification of the skull.
More often than not, this is associated with either premature rupture of the membranes or too little amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios). All other things being equal, the longer the membranes are intact, the less likely a caput is to form.

Mothers of children with BWS may have pregnancy complications, including premature delivery and polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid). An unusually large placenta and long umbilical cord may also be present.
