Low Fluid and Cysts on baby's kidney

Low Fluid and Cysts on baby's kidney

I just found out today that my AFL is 5.14 and the baby has cysts on her right kidney-not sure about the left. Theya re sending me to a specialists to have my condition seen with a higher powered machine. I'm beyond scared. I worry that my fluid will drop and the baby will not get the oxygen that she needs due to the cord becoming depressed. It dropped from 6.? to 5.14 in a week.
Has anyone else went thru this or no someone who has-that maybe can give me some advice or info?
I appreiciate any and all help!

How far pregnant are you?

There isn't a lot of difference between 6 and 5.1, in reality.  Yes, its very low.  Yes, it needs furthur investigation by a high risk perinatologist.   But those numbers, speaking in terms of the margin of error, are essentially the same---decreased amniotic fluid.  This is also known as oligohydramnios.
