Final answer:

Oligohydramnios is associated with renal agenesis, certain gastrointestinal disorders, and premature rupture of intrauterine membranes, but not with postdate pregnancy which is more commonly linked to polyhydramnios.

Step-by-step explanation:

b. Gastrointestinal disorders Oligohydramnios is a condition characterized by too little amniotic fluid surrounding the baby in the womb. It is associated with several complications which can include renal agenesis (absence of one or both kidneys), certain gastrointestinal disorders that may prevent normal swallowing of amniotic fluid by the fetus, and premature rupture of the intrauterine membranes (PROM), which can lead to the leaking of amniotic fluid. However, oligohydramnios is not typically associated with postdate pregnancy (a pregnancy that goes beyond the normal 40 weeks).

Instead, postdate pregnancy is more commonly associated with polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid).Oligohydramnios is associated with several conditions, but not with postdate pregnancy. Oligohydramnios refers to a decreased amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus. It can be caused by various factors, including renal agenesis, gastrointestinal disorders, and premature rupture of the intrauterine membranes (PROM).
