Low Amniotic Fluid

Amanda

Anyone being monitored for low amniotic fluid?

This was mentioned at my 32w ultrasound & again the tech asked today at my 36w ultrasound if I was drinking a lot of water. I assured her that I was. When I talked to my doctor about this she said it’s at a 6 and ideally she’d like it to be higher. She wants me to not wait a week to come back, so I go again Tuesday for another ultrasound to check. She mentioned possible induction if it’s lower than a 6. She said that heat can sometime play a role in the amount of fluid, so I guess I’ll have to stop taking my toddler for walks outside.

I’m hoping to go longer & naturally go into labor, but we’re preparing for an earlier baby just in case! Baby is estimated 6lbs 11oz and I’m also 1cm & 90% effaced so we shall see!
