Oligohydramnios - Low amniotic fluid during pregnancy. Amniotic fluid is produced first by the mother's body and later by the baby's urine to provide a warm and safe environment for the developing baby.
Oligohydramnios--too little fluid, taking away from the entire mass effect, leading to a smaller fundal height.
Hydramnios and polyhydramnios--to much fluid, indicating possibly genetic problems or anatomical problems with the baby.
Oligohydramnios is associated with long standing maternal diabetes, pre-eclampsia, hypertension, and congenital anomalies. When oligohydramnious is present a woman is 5-7 times more likely to have a Cesarean section.
Oligohydramnios is just the opposite - there isn't enough amniotic fluid. This condition generally occurs when something is wrong with the fetus or the placenta or when the mother has high blood pressure.

Contamination of fluid from amniocentesis by maternal cells is highly unlikely. If oligohydramnios is present, then amniotic fluid cannot be obtained.

Many of these associations remained even after excluding patients with oligohydramnios, fetal echogenic bowel, and growth asymmetry.
