Low amniotic fluid 35 weeks and 6 days?
I went to see the specialist this afternoon and he said my daughter is 4.5 lbs and everything looked good but her bladder was full and the amniotic fluid was low. I didn’t drink much water yesterday does that effect that? My daughter was super active all night last night.
I’m 35 weeks and 6 days and the specialist wants to see me again Monday if no change the says I need to take my daughter out.
How do get make more fluid? Her bladder was full yet he sent me home. Now she isn’t kicking a lot like yesterday
Normally the fluid amount has been great each ultrasound but not today’s. He said my daughters abdomen was kind of on the smaller side but her organs looked great. Strong heart but then said “We are buying you more time but you need to take your leave as of today. NICU stays is 10,000 per night”.

My question is.......Why did you not ask the doctor these questions. He is the expert.

When you have low amniotic fluid it means there isn't much fluid around your baby - which protects the baby - so if there isnt much of it - it could lead to infection and that could cause serious harm to the baby - especially so far along, so as a safety measure they will induce you at the hospital and deliver baby before your waters break - to be safer so they are there right from the start. I have excess fluid but still within the charted amount - they just like to monitor it closely in case infection does occur
