Does amniotic fluid turbidity affect the fetus?

Amniotic fluid turbidity can affect the fetus in utero, which easily leads to hypoxia in utero. Amniotic fluid above grade 3 may also lead to asphyxia or even fetal growth arrest in utero. Amniotic fluid turbidity is often caused by factors such as fetal fat entering amniotic fluid and meconium entering amniotic fluid.
