My tummy was shrinking after 32 weeks

Mrs.
I had noticed my tummy was not growing but infact shrinking . Luckily I had an obgyn that does ultrasounds at 34 weeks and she picked up that I had lower amniotic fluid. She  monitored me with weekly ultrasounds and 2x weekly CCTG scans until I hit 36 weeks. The result was that my amniotic fluid became dangerously low and the baby was small. I'm fortunate that she was a great listener and did an internal exam to check if my waters had been ruptured. Sure enough , they had been leaking for probably a month! She sent me straight to the hospital for bedrest and antibiotics for two days and induced me at 36 +2 weeks. I had a healthy baby girl with no need of oxygen 🙏. I was very fortunate to have an obgyn that took the time to listen to me. My doctor friends were telling me I was just imagining I was shrinking 🙄.
