Low amniotic fluid?

Question

Went in for an ultrasound this morning at 37+3 and they said I had low fluid and that I had to come back tomorrow to see if it was still low. If it is they will take the baby. Has anyone experienced this before and have any advice? I have never heard of this and I am scared. Is there a chance they will do c-section or try induction? Is there any way for me to get the fluid back up on my own?

Answer

This has happened with all three of my previous pregnancies and I was induced with all three as a result, it’s just safer for them to induce than leave baby in at this point, don’t worry it’ll be ok, if drinking lots of water doesn’t
Help then just know you’re doing what’s best for baby

Answer

Drinking alot of water can help with fluid levels. Drink a gallon over the day and some tomorrow before your scan and hopefully it'll help enough but if not, 37 weeks is technically full term so baby would be fine.

Answer

Thank you for advice! I am trying not to be anxious about it
