Low Amniotic Fluid?
Hi
Been back for another growth scan today as bump was measuring 3-4 weeks ahead of dates and confirmed baby is big but within normal limits. however, now they are worried that my amniotic fluid level is low. I am 31+1 weeks.
Anybody else have low amniotic fluid levels?
I have to go back for another scan next week and another the week after and also see the consultant in between.
They hooked me up to the monitors this morning to check baby was ok and all seemed fine, moving around plenty and heartbeat fine.
Just wondering if anybody else had a similar experience?
thanks x

Good luck and I'm sure all will be OK xxxx
The level was 4.5cm so only half a cm lower than the 'normal' threshold. I understand there can also be some concern that it could restrict the baby's growth but since he is measuring large (also being monitored) that's clearly not an issue!
Just hoping they don't try to induce me early because of it, although I would love to meet my little man earlier!!!
