What is another word for hydramnios?
Pronunciation: [ha͡ɪdɹˈamnɪˌə͡ʊz] (IPA) 
Hydramnios, also known as polyhydramnios, is a condition that occurs during pregnancy when there is an excessive amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including gestational diabetes, twin or multiple pregnancies, and problems with the baby's gastrointestinal tract or kidneys. Other synonyms for hydramnios include increased amniotic fluid, excessive amniotic fluid, and polyhydramnios. This condition can be diagnosed through ultrasound and may require medical intervention, such as draining of the excess fluid or early delivery of the baby. As hydramnios can lead to complications and risks during pregnancy, it is important for expectant mothers to receive proper prenatal care and monitoring.
