The best thing to do is to keep all your prenatal care visits. One of the things your doctor will monitor the size of your abdomen and the amniotic fluid that is inside the uterus. If you experience a problem, your doctor will take steps to avoid further complications for you and your baby.

If you have diabetes, talk with your health professional about their increased risk for polyhydramnios.

If your doctor,  suspects you have polyhydramnios, you may need additional testing and monitoring throughout their pregnancy. In half the cases, polyhydramnios goes away without treatment. In other cases, the problem can be corrected when the cause is found. For example, treat high blood sugar in women with diabetes often decreases the amount of amniotic fluid. Other treatments may include removing some amniotic fluid or use medication to reduce fluid levels.
