Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oligohydramnios can lead to complications during labor and delivery, so the patient should come to the hospital right away when she goes into labor. The condition can have multiple causes, including gestational diabetes, but this is not always the case. The incidence of oligohydramnios in future pregnancies is not necessarily higher, so it is not accurate to say it will "likely occur." Women with oligohydramnios may deliver before or after their due date, so D is not an accurate statement.
