(American Associates, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev) Pregnant women have a higher incidence of insufficient amniotic fluid levels (oligohydramnios) in the summer months due to dehydration, according to a study conducted by researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.

During the study period, there were 191,558 deliveries of which 4,335 were diagnosed with idiopathic oligohydramnios.
