low amniotic fluid

So I'm 28 weeks along & the doc says I have low amniotic fluid but still within normal range. Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, what'd they do? Did you deliver a healthy baby? Induced? Any & all answers are appreciated.

Drink more fluid. Ur body still produces amniotic fluid til around 34 or 35 weeks. If u don't have enought fluid ur going to be induce n u all r not far along. I got induced for having low for my last 2 pregnancies but I was already 37 week (full term) if u all get induced too early the chances of the baby making is is much less or if he does he can have major complications. So start drinking as much water u all can .

Sleep and rest on your left side (heart side) is supposed to help increase blood flow, circulation and increase the Amniotic fluid level..very important for the baby :)

Yes, I've increased my fluid intake as well. Hoping that's all it takes. Makes me feel better to hear that's all you had to do.
