5. C. The normal amount of amniotic fluid at term is 1000 mL. However, the amount of amniotic fluid at various stages of pregnancy can be indicative of congenital malformations. Oligohydramnios (400 mL in late pregnancy) may be indicative of renal agenesis. Polyhydramnios (2000 mL in late pregnancy) may be indicative of either anencephaly or esophageal atresia.
