This condition is discovered during pregnancy, and evaluated prior to delivery. If a fetal abnormality is found, the baby will be delivered in a hospital with specialists who can provide immediate evaluation and treatment.

Documenting polyhydramnios may include:

  • history of this pregnancy
  • history of past pregnancies and health of the children delivered
  • other family history
  • ultrasound scans of the fetus
