Question: what is it called when you have too much amniotic fluid?
Answer: Mild cases of polyhydramnios may go away on their own. Severe cases may require treatment. Polyhydramnios (pol-e-hi-DRAM-nee-os) is the excessive accumulation of amniotic fluid — the fluid that surrounds the baby in the uterus during pregnancy. Polyhydramnios occurs in about 1 to 2 percent of pregnancies.
