[Semiquantitative determination of the amniotic fluid volume in normal pregnancies].
The amount of amniotic fluid was determined semiquantitatively in 600 pregnancies between the 12th and 41st week of gestation. Pregnancies at risk were excluded. The largest amniotic fluid area was measured sonographically in two dimensions. The mean plus/minus standard deviations are correlated with gestational age. A diagram has been prepared. Our results show good correlation with values from invasive quantitative examinations of amniotic fluid amount. However, our procedure is easy to perform and without hazard for the pregnancy, since it is non-invasive.
