Hi,

Reduced amniotic fluid can happen from high blood pressure and resistance to blood flow through placenta. Kidney or urinary tract anomaly of baby also can cause this. But this will be visible in scanning, so no need to worry of this.

Although dehydration per say is not a cause, this can worsen the situation. The same causes also can cause reduced weight gain for baby. No need to worry, just ensure blood pressure is normal, blood sugar is controlled, take some rest and have enough fluids and a healthy diet. Everything will end up fine.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
