Have anyone ever dealt with polyhydramnios?

Question

I have been measuring ahead about two weeks for a while now and at first they just thought I was having a big baby! They finally realized in my ultrasound that I have a little bit more amniotic fluid than normal. Have anyone experienced this? Was baby ok at birth? Were you induced early? They want to induce me about 38 or 39 weeks if it continues! I’m 35w3d today! Thank you in advance!!

Answer

I was diagnosed with polyhydramnios 2 days before I was induced.
I went into hospital with reduced fetal movement (very hot weather in June) to be checked over, as soon as I got to triage my LO wouldn’t stop dancing! Typical!
They checked me over & said everything was fine but just to be sure to get a scan in the morning. The scan showed a high level of fluid but the docs weren’t worried & said they’d induce me on my due date if baby hadn’t arrived by then. 
Baby had other ideas & my waters broke but labour had to be induced.
After 13hrs it was decided for me to have a c-section as I wasn’t progressing.
My boy arrived 3 days before his due date with no problems.
He weighed 8lb9.
Please be prepared for the amount of fluid that comes out (I wasn’t). My waters broke naturally & then they had to be broken again twice due to my LO’s positioning.
Good luck 😊

Answer

I developed this in my second trimester because baby had an issue with her stomach and was not processing the fluid as needed. At my 20 week anatomy scan, my fluids were dangerously above where they should've been. We talked about early induction at 37-38 weeks. I got huge fast! I had bi-weekly scans with an internal fetal specialist and the fluid slowly started to regulate itself. I'm now 35 weeks and while still at the maximum of the normal range, my doctor is no longer concerned. 
Good luck to you!  Hopefully everything works itself out!

I was diagnosed with that late in my pregnancy after experiencing really painful feelings down there. Turns out the amount of fluid I had was really weighing down and was so uncomfortable. I’m also a nurse so I was on my feet every day for at least 8+ hours. I was instructed to basically go on bed rest and not lift anything or exert myself. I went on maternity leave two weeks before she was expected because of doctors orders.
Anyways, I was induced at 39 weeks and ended up having an emergency csection because I wasn’t dialating and baby wasn’t dropping. It was the safest thing to do at that point for baby and me. 
Everything went well and I was blessed with a perfect baby girl to hold. 
Everything will be okay, don’t stress yourself out. Just take it easy!

Answer

I was diagnosed with it at 36 weeks. I got induced at 39 weeks and found out my baby had CDH which is what cause my poly. We spent three weeks in the Nicu and had surgery but all is fine now! The risk for
Poly is your water breaking on its own and having the cord prolapse. I was freakin huge.
