Summer and Oligohydramnios

Pregnant women have a higher incidence of insufficient amniotic fluid levels (oligohydramnios) in the summer months due to dehydration, according to this study. During the study period, 266 cases were diagnosed with idiopathic oligohydramnios. Of these, a proportionally higher number, 131 cases (49 percent), occurred during the three summer months (March, April and may), while 135 cases occurred during the other nine months of the year (51 percent)
