[sinnyy]

Any mummies encountered this during their pregnancy? How did you cope and overcome with low amniotic fluid?

I did encounter this but it was during the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy ie at 37 weeks. we waited for 2 more weeks but bb shown no sign of coming out and my amniotic fluid level never went up, so in the end had to opt for induce

how many weeks are u now?

 

[sinnyy]

My wife got low amniotic fluid detected at 16 weeks and suffered miscarriage at 23.5 weeks.

Prior the detection, she experienced bleeding but PD said baby was OK.

Every pregnancy is different. Talk to your doctor.

I had this issue too when I was at about 35 weeks, had to go back clinic and check every few days. Tried all methods but still low so finally decided to induce when after 38 weeks, didnt want to take any chances.

hi virgo, how many wks are you now? dr asked me to sleep at side way, try not to sleep facing upwards. And I cant remember from where I read that coconut water helps so I drank a lot and dunno is it coincidence, it did increased a bit of fluid during my next check up. Dr asked me what did I do so when I told her, she asked me to continue doing. But think coconut water can only drink at last trimester.

My anatomy scan went well today.Baby is doing good . Fluid levels have become better than 2 weeks back but it's still in the lower side of normal. Dr asked me to keep drinking 2-3 litters water, coconut water and isotonic drinks. Have to go again for rescan after 4 weeks. Thanks for replying.
