Low fluid

Today I had my 31 week appt. I am finally measuring at 31 weeks!! yay for that! Its the first time I have actually measured on target. I was measuring 2 weeks behind for quite a while. I also finally gained a good amount of weight. So those were both great signs. But my amniotic fluid was low at my sonogram 3 weeks ago. On a scale of 5-25 I was at a 7. So today he did another sonogram and measured me at a 9. He said it can depend a little on how she is sitting and how much of the fluid they can see. They measure 4 different pockets and add them up. He said 9 is definitely better then 7 but still not ideal. He said we would like to see closer to 11 or 12 at this point. So in 2 weeks I go for my next OB appt and will have another sonogram to check the levels. If they are between 5-8 I will have to be induced. I will only be at 33 weeks at that time, so I am PRAYING and hoping you will too that the amount of fluid will increase.

  1. WOW...you would be really early. I will be praying that the fluid goes up. Hopefully it is just the position of the baby. Drink some Orange Juice before you go so the baby moves around alot. Good Luck and keep us posted!
