Glossary of Terms

Polyhydramnios
Too much amniotic fluid. It may lead to enlargement of the uterus, which can, in turn, result in preterm labor.

This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
