She had both her kiddos 'term' but a few weeks before her due date. She was due October 7 & 8 two years apart and had her babies September 23 & 28. Both were healthy at 7 pounds!
Thank you so much for explaining it to me. At first I wasnt worried about having alot but I looked ot up on the internet and there's so many things that can be wrong. But hopefully not. One more question...did she go full term with her extra fluid?
Everyone carries differently though. I've looked close to term since my first tri! But I'd call in the morning. No sense losing sleep over it. Let your doc know what was said and that you're worried. You might be able to move the test up if that's what would help you feel better.
Well the day I had him monitored. They wanted a urine sample but I had just went to the bathroom so I couldn't give them one :/ im just worried now because I look full-term and still have 3 months to go.
Depends on how worried you are. High fluid levels can be dangerous but it's be hesitant to do anything without an ultrasound to confirm it. Just a guess based on how often you feel baby move? I'd maybe call and talk to your doc to see if you even need to worry.
One of the reasons you give a urine sample at every visit is do that they can test the sugar levels in your urine. If it was reading extra high, they would have probably asked you to test for gd sooner.

No I havent been tested yet... I have a 1 hour glucose test the 17th of this month. So should I wait until then or call ahead of time?
Have you already been tested for gestational diabetes? A big warning sign of that is when baby has too much fluid (also a normal side effect depending on when the diabetes is diagnosed and how well you take care of it). My sis had gd with both her kids and also had high fluid levels.
What it means is that because your sugars are high, baby's sugars are way too high and it increases urine output. Since baby makes, swallows, and pees out your fluid, too much or too little can lead to (or be symptoms of) bigger problems.
Since yours wasn't diagnosed via ultrasound yet, I would call your doc/midwife and make an appointment for a scan to check it if you're worried!

Well when I went to get my baby monitored the other day because I couldn't feel all his movements she said that I could have alot of amniotic fluid. Byt she didn't say anything about getting it checked out or anything. So idk if I should ask my Dr or not. Plus my feet are sooo swollen. Should I call and tell them?
