Episode 161: Low Amniotic Fluid

Low amniotic fluid, or oligohydramnios, is a topic doulas will likely encounter in our work with clients, especially during the third trimester. Doulas and clients often question what low fluid levels mean, how they are diagnosed, and the clinical considerations involved.

It is important for doulas to understand risks associated with low amniotic fluid, potential causes, and the treatment options care providers may offer. We also discuss how this diagnosis can influence birth plans and what doulas should keep in mind when supporting clients through these decisions.

Tune in for an in-depth conversation designed to strengthen your knowledge and help you better support clients navigating this complicated situation.
