I can't really understand the us... but if the fluid was really very low they would to a biophsycial profile to see if the baby was at risk or a stress test... The fluid regenerates every few hours or something like that... so you should listen to your dr and not worry... if the baby slows movement call the dr... good luck

Thx for your concern. The stress test was done and everything came out good.  But I need a DOCTOr to please help me interpret the ultra sound and give me some light on my situation.

there are no doctors on this particular forum..you need to call your doctor and ask them to speak with you about what's going on and help you understand everything.

Thank you Ashelen for your information.

Does anyone know of a webpage where a doctor can help me understand this 4D ultrsound?

I have been looking for days for a site that links you to a dr... but other than contacting one locally for a second opinion I don't think they really answer online requests.. did you get this us done at a physicians office?? They should be able to help you.

You need to keep an eye on your panties to make sure you aren't leaking fluid.  You also need to drink PLENTY of water to help your body replenish the fluid.  Did they say if your level was still within the normal range just on the low end?  If it is they may not do a biophysical profile but they should monitor your levels.  

As for the ultrasound, I've been pregnant numerous times and see dozens of u/s pics and the one you posted doesn't look like anything on a baby that I can tell. You aren't gonna be able to tell anything from the ultrasound that the doc hasn't already told you.  Just take it easy, drink water and don't over exert yourself.

As for the contractions, at 33 weeks you are likely to start having several braxton hicks per day.  BUT if you are not drinking enough water, dehydration can contribute to the amount and intensity of contractions you have.  Be sure to drink lots and lots of water.  Also Braxton Hicks contractions will usually go away if you change activities (ie: if you are moving around, sit down and rest or vice versa)
