62% fluids around baby?

Im a little freaked out since my doc wouldn't go into detail about this with me. Have any of you ladies experienced increased fluid around baby? Im 35+3 weeks, and had an apt today where i was told that my baby should have 50% fluid around him, instead he has 62%. Not sure why they wouldn't answer any of my questions today!

She didn't seem to concerned about anything except getting me in and out of the office as quickly as possible. I know i shouldn't google stuff but i cant help it lol.  Anyway thanks for all the replys :) ill try not to stress to much until i speak with them tmr. ..i also mentioned major pressure in my lower abdominal and horrible pain while walking, and that Braxton hicks are getting a lot.more frequent and starting to hurt and she didn't reassure me about that either. I think the worst part is, where im delivering we dont have one set doctor, we deal with 4 dif docs and whoever is at the hospital on d-day is who we get.

Yea im going through that since the beginning although they never told me a percentage about the fluid but im 29 wks with alittle more fluid then others so they have me in the doc office every other week just to monitor the fluid and baby it is alarming cause we are at risk pregnancies and changes for early labor , preeclampsia, diabetes. Gt or any defects but you should be fine and so should baby my doc says just change the.diet less.carbs. salt sugar you know to minimize our chances but dont be worried i look at it as.theres risks to low fluids and high fluids so i rather have my baby swimming around comfortably lol :)myahs_mommy3

I had to Google what an anterior placenta was because my Dr didn't think it was relevant to tell me even though I always brought up that I couldn't feel the baby move lol.

Are they going to give you the torch panel? I think that's what it's called... Honestly I wouldn't stress yourself out too much about it... My doctor freaked me out saying there was way too much fluid around my baby and then the next ultrasound everything was back to normal... My doctor ***** and has very poor communication but she sure scared me with that and stressed me out but thankfully everything was normal 2 weeks after that... Does your doctor seem concerned about it? Really makes me mad when doctors don't answer questions!

I would be getting a new dr. P.s. please don't rely on google, it tends to give you the worst of the worst info at times. Lol.

It's sad I always have to Google things after my appointments. Doctors can be worthless sometimes. Lol

I would continue asking until you get the answer.  It may just not be concerning which is why they may not be saying anything, but even still they should hace the decency to give a response when asked
