Babies with esophageal atresia will have an inability to swallow amniotic fluid leading to the builtup - this statement  by the woman indicates an understanding of the relationship between polyhdyramnios and esophageal atresia.

Explanation:

Polyhdramnios is the excessive builtup of amniotic fluid in the uterus during pregnancy.

Many congenital anomalies of the fetus are associated with a disturbance in the swallowing and absorption of fluids by the fetus. Anomalies like esophageal or duodenal atresia can lead to increased amniotic fluid retention.  

As the fetus grows, it swallows the amniotic fluid and maintains a balance between production and absorption of the fluid. Signs of polyhydramnios are visible with a huge belly of the pregnant woman's filled with the fluid and these are mostly detected in the late second trimester of pregnancy.  

Polyhyramnios with respect to the fetus reflects any congenital anomalies, heart or kidney problems, or fetal anemia.

When comparing convenience diet food to organic foods, which of these two is healthier and why?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Convenience food has more additives.

Explanation:

Convenience food has more additives than organic food such as food colors and preservatives. These additives help to remain food fresh for a long time but the main drawback of these foods is a lot of nutrients, that can be lost during the processing time.

Organic food is good for health and does not contain food colors and preservatives so, they get spoiled very easily.
