Low amniotic fluid, or oligohydramnios, is a topic doulas are
likely to 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.
