Assessment of amniotic fluid volume (AFV) in pregnancies is important for maternal and fetus health spatially in diabetic cases due to its complications. This study aimed to determine the AFV disorders in 3rd trimester with relation to age, diabetic type, diabetic status and mode of delivery using ultrasound. This retrospective study conducted at Taif hospitals during 2019. The study data included 94 Saudi diabetic pregnant who underwent ultrasound measurement (maximum vertical pocket) in the 3rd trimester. The data was gained from the Picture Archiving and Communication system (PACS) and analyzed by SPSS (21.0.0.0).The AF disorders were detected in (22%) of sample size. (17%) of them was polyhydramnios and (5.4%) was oligohydramnios. The more affected age groups were 30-39y. AF disorders were higher in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (16%) than diabetes mellitus (DM) (6.4%). Most of the patients with AF disorders delivered by Cesarean section (CS), while no patient with oligohydramnios delivered by vaginal delivery. In conclusion, the diabetic patient with AF disorder has more risk to deliver by (CS).AF disorders are higher in GDM patient than in DM patient.
