I agree with maw you should definitely talk to your doctor. Granted your baby will come when he or she is ready but if your doctor was concerned they would induce you.

Since due dates are plus or minus 2 weeks, you could be 34 weeks. The new standard for full term is 39weeks. You are not full term according to any 1st world country standard.  If your medical professional is following the recommendation for your baby's swimming pool, it would be to monitor. Please look into the standards the person your paying for to follow. If they are not at least up to date with standards from 2 years ago, what else are they not following?

You're not full term yet. Your baby could end up in nicu for being premature. If your doctor is worried about the amount of fluid you have then they will make the necessary decision on whether or not to induce you. Talk to your doctor first.
