Oligohydramnios in the first trimester refers to a condition where there is an abnormally low amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the developing fetus. This can indicate potential issues such as fetal kidney problems, urinary tract abnormalities, or placental insufficiency. Early detection is crucial, as it may lead to further investigations and monitoring to ensure the health of both the fetus and the mother. However, isolated cases of oligohydramnios in early pregnancy may resolve on their own as the pregnancy progresses.
