Answer

I was told I had low amniotic fluid at around 17 weeks. My fluid was 2.7 I was out in hospital , they told me to terminate I said no! I did so much research. I drank 5 liters of water a day. I drank coconut water. Ate watermelon. AND drank the Knox’s gelatin the kind you dissolve in hot water and I just added some fruit juice to flavor it up. I was told that if I didn’t terminate I’d lose the baby in a few weeks anyway.....fast forward to 26 weeks , I change hospital. They do my initial scan and I ask how the AFI? She said it’s way over ten and normal and I was shocked and 2 weeks later it measured over 20. So don’t give up hope and don’t listen to negativity.
