oligohydramnios

[patti1482]

I am nervous bc I a 32 weeks, my baby boy is about a pound bigger than hes supposed to be, I have gestational diabetes & now they are saying my fluid is low. Im nervous that it will still be low after they do the 2nd ultrasound to check my fluid volume. What happens if its still low? Do I get hospitalized? Will my baby have to come early due to a c section?  Or am I just being nervous & worried for ni reason? Help ease the mind of a worry wart first time mom

Make sure you are drinking A LOT it will help with the fluid levels

When fluid is low or too high they worry about the functions of babies kidneys and swallowing.. If its low they may want to deliver to make sure kidneys are functioning properly

I'm 22 weeks and have my ultrasound to confirm my level of fluid Friday. I'm beyond freaking out as there are horror stories on the internet. I read in my book tho if u get this condition this late in pregnancy they'll either do a c-section if inserting a catheter to pump fake fluid (saline solution) into the womb during labor doesnt work.

I wish I knew what happens to me being so early in the pregnancy with this sort of condition. I can't find ne info about 22 weeks and low fluid newhere.

I'm not sure but at 36 wks my son measured smaller (iugr) and my fluid was low they did a c section  only BC he was transverse. I dont think fluid being low is a reason for a c section so they'll probably ally tell you to try And drink as.much water as possible and watch your levels to make sure its not too.low. then they might possibly Induce you at a certain point. Your pretty close to the end.so I'm sure no.matter what happens.everything will be ok!! Good luck and try to relax until the next ultrasound.
